Day 9 Pentecost Novena

Veni Creator Spiritus

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come from thy bright heav’nly throne;
come, take possession of our souls, and make them all thine own.

Thou who art called the Paraclete, best gift of God above,
the living spring, the living fire, sweet unction and true love.

Thou who art sevenfold in thy grace, finger of God’s right hand;
his promise, teaching little ones to speak and understand.

O guide our minds with thy blest light, with love our hearts inflame;
and with thy strength, which ne’er decays, confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our deadly foe; true peace unto us bring;
and through all perils lead us safe beneath thy sacred wing.

Through thee may we the Father know, through thee th’eternal Son,
and thee the Spirit of them both, thrice-blessed three in One.

All glory to the Father be, With his coequal Son;
The same to thee, great Paraclete, while endless ages run.

READING

Day 9
Instead, I tell you, be guided by the Spirit, and you will no longer yield to self-indulgence. But when you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. On the other hand the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness gentleness and self-control. (Gal 5: 16;18;22)

SUPPLICATION

O Holy Spirit, eternal Love of the Father and the Son, our God and sanctifier, we adore and thank you for your presence in this world, our Church and in us. We ask forgiveness of all the times that we have saddened You and our neighbours. We ask pardon for all the times that we have resisted your action in us and the other. Descend upon us once more as in the days of Pentecost.

– Descend, fountain of grace, on our Bishops and Priests;
– Descend, source of holiness, upon the religious who are consecrated to you;
– Descend, seal of new life, on all the faithful;
– Descend, balm of mercy, on poor sinners;
– Descend, light of truth, on all mankind;
– Descend through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, from the heart of the Trinity and come to us.

1) Come, Spirit of Wisdom, free us from the things of the earth and give us the desire and the taste of the things of heaven.

Glory be to the Father…
