Come,
Holy

of
Thy
faithful

grant
that,
by

Spirit,
we

rejoice
in
His
consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

To the Holy Spirit, to ask for Holiness
by Cardinal Désiré Joseph Mercier
O
Holy
Spirit!
Soul
of
my
soul!
I
adore
You.
Enlighten
me.
Guide
me.
Strengthen
me.
Comfort
me.
Tell
me
what
I
must
do.
Give
me Your orders.
I
promise
to
submit
to
whatever
You
wish
of
me
and
to
accept
whatever
You
allow
to
happen
to
me.
Only
make
me
know
Your
will. Amen.
To the Holy Spirit for the Church
by Father Ernest Manise, cssr
O
Holy
Spirit,
Creator,
be
propitious
to
the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ;
by
Your
divine
virtue
fortify
it
and
strengthen
it
against
the
attacks
of
its
enemies;
by
Your
charity
and
grace
renew
the
spirit
of
Your
servants
whom
You
have
marked
with
Your
anointing,
so
that
in
You
they
may
give
glory
to
the
Father
and
to
His
only
Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy
Spirit,
Spirit
of
truth,
come
into
our
hearts;
give
to
all
nations
the
radiance
of
Your
light,
so
that,
finding
them
united
in
faith, You may place Your complacency in them. Amen.
To the Holy Spirit, God of Love
by Father Ernest Manise, cssr
O
Spirit!
O
Love!
O
Truth
who
are
my
God!
Come
and
make
a
new
creation
in
my
soul;
come,
it
opens
itself
to
You
without
reserve;
come,
for
it
is
poor,
destitute,
abandoned.
Bring
it
light
and
peace;
pour
love
into
it
like
living
water
that
springs
to
eternal
life. I surrender myself entirely to Your guidance, O Holy Spirit.
Too
often,
alas,
I
have
resisted
You
or
not
wanted
to
listen
to
Your
voice;
but
from
now
on
I
will
obey
You
faithfully.
My
heart
is
Your
domain,
act
in
it
as
You
please;
rise
up
like
the
aquilon
to
strike
down
all
my
passions
and
overturn
my
plans
that
do
not
conform
to
Your
good
pleasure;
come
like
a
gentle
and
refreshing
wind
to
console
my
soul.
I
surrender
myself
to
Your
guidance
with
a
confidence
that
will
bring
me
happiness
and
salvation.
Yes,
it
is
for You to command, and I am too happy to obey.
To ask for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
by Father Ernest Manise, cssr
O
Jesus!
who,
before
ascending
into
heaven,
promised
Your
apostles
and
disciples
that
You
would
send
them
the
Holy
Spirit
to
comfort
and
strengthen
them,
deign
to
send
this
sanctifying
Spirit
also
into
us.
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
wisdom
,
who
makes
us
know
true
happiness,
and gives us the means to obtain it.
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
intelligence
,
who
by
Your
divine
light
enables
us to penetrate the truths and mysteries of our holy religion.
Come
within
us,
Spirit
of
counsel
,
who
helps
us
to
discern,
in
difficult
situations, what we must do to accomplish God’s will.
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
strength
,
and
bind
us
to
God
and
to
our
duties, so that nothing can ever detach us from them.
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
knowledge
,
who
alone
can
give
us
perfect
knowledge
of
God
and
of
ourselves.
I
ask
You
for
this
divine
and
only
necessary
knowledge,
with
all
the
ardor
of
my
soul;
I
will
say
to
You
unceasingly
with
Saint
Augustine:
“My
God,
may
I
know
You,
and
may
I know myself.”
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
piety
,
who
makes
us
accomplish
with
joy
and
ease
all
that
God
commands
us,
and,
by
the
unction
of
divine
love,
makes us find the yoke of the Lord truly sweet and light.
Come
into
us,
Spirit
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
who
makes
us
avoid,
with
the
greatest
care,
everything
that
may
displease
our
heavenly
Father.
Glory
be
to
You,
eternal
Father,
who,
with
Your
only
Son
and
the
Holy
Spirit, consoles us with Your love.
