An hour of Adoration, worship, and teaching to answer the question, “How do I prepare to receive the holy Spirit at Pentecost?”

Novena to the Holy Spirit

Begin each day by reciting the following prayer...

O Holy Spirit, Divine Consoler! I adore you as my True God. I bless you by uniting myself to the praises you receive from the angels and saints. I offer you my whole heart, and I render you heartfelt thanks for all the benefits you have bestowed and do unceasingly bestow upon the world. You are the author of all supernatural gifts and who did enrich with immense favors the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. I beseech you to visit me by your grace and your love, and grant me the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena.

Pause in silence and mention your request...

O Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, come into our hearts: shed the brightness of your light on all nations, that they may be of one faith and pleasing to you. Amen.

Then recite the prayer of the appropriate day...

DAY THREE (Sunday)

Heavenly Father, you have called me to be a member of the mystical body of your Son, Jesus Christ, and to be a temple of the Holy Spirit. I ask you to give me these gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, that I may understand the follies of this world; Understanding, that I may grasp more fully the meaning of my existence and the purpose of all things in the world; Counsel, that I may always choose the proper way; Fortitude, that I may remain faithful to you under the pressure of temptation; Piety, that I may revere you in all I do, think or say; Fear of the Lord, that should the motive of love fail me, I may quickly be awakened to the eternal consequences of my deeds. Visit me by your grace and your love and grant me the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena if it be in accord with your Holy Will.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.
