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 EIGHT (Friday)

O Holy Spirit, life and light of the Church, give us thoughts higher than our own thoughts, and prayers better than our own prayers, and powers beyond our own powers, that we may love and live, imitating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Come to us, Holy Spirit, come with the Father and the Son and grant us the favors we so earnestly request in this novena. Vouchsafe to dwell within our souls and quickly make our hearts your own. Quench in us the fires of hate and strife, the wasting fever of the heart. From perils guard our feeble life and to our souls your peace impart. Let voice and mind and heart and strength confess and glorify your name and let the fire of charity burn bright and other hearts inflame. Amen.

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.
