fill the Virgin Mary with grace, Thou who didst wonderfully
transform the hearts of the Apostles, Thou who didst endow all Thy
martyrs with a miraculous heroism, come and sanctify us. Illumine

| Prayer to the Holy
Spirit (4) |
Come,
O Holy Spirit! And send from heaven a ray of thy light. Come,
Father of the poor! Come, giver of gifts! Come, thou light of our
hearts! Thou best of comforters! The soul's sweet guest and
refreshment! Her rest in toil; her shelter in heat: her solace in
her woe! O most blessed Light! Fill the inmost soul of thy
faithful. Without the divine assistance, there is naught in man,
there is naught but evil. Cleanse our defilements; water our
dryness; heal our wounds. Bend our stubborn will; warm up our cold
hearts: guide our straying steps. Give to thy faithful, who hope
in thee, thy holy seven gifts. Give them the merits of virtue;
give them the happy issue of salvation; give them endless joy.
Amen. Alleluia. (Sequence, 12th Century A.D.)

| Prayer to the Holy
Spirit (5) |
Come,
Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness
be penetrated with Your strength this very day that I may fulfill
all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is
right and just. Let my charity be such as to offend no one
unnecessarily, and hurt no one's feelings unnecessarily; so
generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me. Assist me, O
Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my
ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weaknesses,
help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations and console me
in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your
light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a
holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen.

| Prayer to the Holy
Spirit (6) |
We
give thee thanks, O holy Paraclete! For this Thy gift of light,
which Thou so lovingly maintainest within us! Oh! Never permit us
to seek any other. It alone is sufficient; without it, there is
nought but darkness. Preserve us from those sad inconsistencies,
of which so many are guilty, who follow Thy guidance today, and
the maxims of the world tomorrow; wretched double dealing, which
displeases Thee, and does not please the world! Make us love that
knowledge, which Thou gavest us in order to our salvation. The
enemy of our souls is jealous of our having such a gift, and is
ever studying to make us exchange it for his lying principles. O
divine Spirit! Suffer not his treachery to triumph. Be Thou ever
within us, aiding us to distinguish truth from falsity, and right
from wrong. May our eye be single and simple, as our Jesus bids it
be; that so our body, that is, our actions, desires, and thoughts
may be lightsome; and preserve us from that evil eye, which makes
the whole body to be darkness (Mt. vi. 22, 23). (Gueranger)

| Prayer to the Holy
Spirit (7) |
O
Holy Spirit, who on the solemn day of Pentecost didst suddenly
descend upon the Apostles gathered in the Upper Room imparted
tongues as it were of fire and didst so enlighten their minds,
inflame their hearts, and strengthen their wills, that thenceforth
they went through the entire world and courageously and
confidently proclaimed everywhere the teaching of Christ and
sealed it with the shedding of their blood, renew, we beseech
Thee, the wondrous outpouring of Thy grace in our hearts also. How
grievously our minds are afflicted with ignorance concerning the
nature and dignity of those divine truths which form the object of
faith, without which no man may hope for salvation. How far men go
astray from a just estimation of earthly goods, which too often
are put before the soul itself. How often our hearts do not beat
with love of the Creator as they ought, but rather with an ignoble
lust for creatures. How often are we led by a false respect for
human judgement, when we ought to profess openly the precepts of
Jesus Christ and to reduce them to action with a sincere heart and
with the loss, if need be, of our worldly substance. What weakness
we manifest in embracing and carrying with a serene and willing
heart the crosses of this life, which alone can make the Christian
a worthy follower of his divine Master. O Holy Spirit, enlighten
our minds, cleanse our hearts, and give new strength to our wills;
to such a degree, at least, that we may clearly recognize the
value of our soul, and in like manner, despise the perishable
goods of this world; that we may love God above all things, and,
for the love of Him, our neighbor as ourselves; that we may not
only be free from fear in professing our faith publicly, but
rather may glory in it; finally, that we may accept not only
prosperity but also adversity as from the hand of the Lord, with
all confidence that He will turn all things into good for those
who lovingly tend towards Him. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we, by
constantly answering the sweet impulses of Thy grace and doing
that which is good with a persevering heart, may deserve one day
to receive the rich reward of glory everlasting. Amen. (Raccolta)

| Prayer to the Holy
Spirit (8) |
O
Holy Spirit! Merciful Paraclete! Love of the Father and Son! Link
of the Begetting and the Begotten! Their goodness and charity: the
purity of their essence; benignity, sweetness, joy! The bond that
joinest God to man; the power that unitest man to God! To thee,
who, with the Father and the Son, art alone worthy of adoration;
to thee that proceedest from both, be worship and honor for ever!
Thou art gentle and joyous, worthy of love and praise. Thou
cleansest the soul from vanity. Thou art the lover of purity. Thou
art music to them who mourn in exile; thou art the melody of them
that are in joy. To the former thou art a comforter, lest they
should despair of thy help; to the latter, a helper, that they may
long to behold thee. The consoler of the pious, the inspirer of
the good, the counselor of the afflicted! The remover of errors,
the teacher of the ignorant, the solver of doubts! Thou supportest
the weak, guidest the wanderer, bringest back him that is astray,
holdest him that is falling, encouragest him that strives,
perfectest him that loves. 'Twas thou that broughtest from the pit
of corruption and misery him that is now perfect. 'Tis thou that
leadest him through the path of peace and joy, and admittest him,
under the cloud (of faith), into the sanctuary of wisdom. Thou art
the foundation of sanctity, the nourishment of chastity, the
beauty of meekness, the solace of poverty, the treasury of
munificence, the bulwark of honesty. Thou art the refuge of the
miserable, and the deliverer of captives; To the first, most
seasonable; to the second, most prompt. Thou art the Spirit of
truth, and the bond of brotherly love. He that sent thee, is the
same that gave us the promise. We believe thee to be the Judge of
all men, as we believe thee to be their Creator. Thou givest
reward to them that merit it; thou inflictest chastisement on them
that have no merit. Thou breathest where and when thou wilt; thou
teachest whom thou wilt, and as much as thou wilt. Thou givest
light and knowledge to thy faithful servants when in doubt; thou
strengthenest them when taken unawares; thou guidest them when
doing what is right. Thou art order that beautifiest all things;
thou art beauty, that ordainest all things, said, done, or
thought; giving truth to what is said, honesty to what is done,
purity to what is thought. Thou art the good and perfect Gift,
giving both understanding and love. Thou guidest man to truth,
thou formest his love. Thou confirmest him in good, and, having
made him deserving of thy love, thou crownest him at heaven's
gate. Amen. (Sequence, 11th Century A.D.)
