Novena To The Holy Spirit

This novena begins today and ends on Pentecost.  Praying it daily will help prepare us to celebrate and live Pentecost on a deeper level and thus complete the renewal we began in Lent and continued through the Easter Season.  Print it out and keep it handy.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.


V. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created;

R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

V. Send Forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created;

R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let Us Pray:

O God, who has united the diversity of nations in the confession of your name, grant that they who have been born again by the waters of baptism may have the same faith in their hearts and the same piety in their actions.

O God, who gave the Holy Spirit to your Apostles, hear the prayers of your people, that they may enjoy a happy peace, who by your grace have received the gift of the true faith.

Let your Holy Spirit, O Lord, we beseech you, kindle in our hearts that fire which our Lord Jesus Christ brought on earth and earnestly desired that it should be enkindled.

Inflame, O Lord, our reins and hearts with the fire of the Holy Spirit, that we may serve you with a chaste body and please you with a clean heart.

Enrich, O Lord, our hearts by a plentiful pouring out of your Holy Spirit, by whose wisdom we are created and by whose providence we are governed.

Grant, we beseech you, O Almighty and most merciful God, that your Holy Spirit may defend and dwell in our souls, and so thoroughly purify us that we may at length become the temples of His glory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
