Veni Creator Spiritus
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O comforter, to Thee we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;
Thou, finger of God’s hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.
Kindle our sense from above,
and make our hearts o’erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread,
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest.
Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven.
Amen.
Prayer for Day 9
The gifts of the Holy Spirit perfect the supernatural virtues by enabling us to practice them with greater docility to divine inspiration. As we grow in the knowledge and love of God, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our service becomes more sincere and generous, and the practice of virtues more perfect. Such acts of virtue leave the heart full of joy and consolation and are known as the fruits of the Holy Spirit. These fruits, in turn, make the practice of virtues more active and become a powerful incentive for even greater efforts in the service of God.
Message from Our Blessed Mother June 9, 1984
“Dear children! Tomorrow night pray for the Spirit of Truth! Especially, you from the parish. Because you need the Spirit of Truth to be able to convey the messages just the way they are, neither adding anything to them, nor taking anything whatsoever way from them, but just the way I said them. Pray for the Holy Spirit to inspire you with the spirit of prayer, so you will pray more. I, your Mother, tell you that you are praying little. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Let us Pray:
Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their immense greatness, power, and beauty. Teach me to love them above all and beyond all passing joys and satisfactions of the earth. Help me to attain and possess them forever.
Amen.
Consecration to the Holy Spirit
O Holy Spirit, receive the perfect and absolute consecration of my entire being.
Deign to be, from this moment on, in every moment of my life and in each of my actions: my Director, my Light, my Guide, and my Strength.
I surrender myself without reserve to Your divine operations and desire to always be docile to Your inspirations.
O Holy Spirit, transform me with Mary and in Mary, into Christ Jesus, for the glory of the Father, the increase and sanctification of priests, and the salvation of the world.
Amen.
