Opening Prayer: Holy Spirit, come, confirm us in the truth that Christ makes known; we have faith and understanding through your helping gifts alone. Holy Spirit, come, console us, come as Advocate to plead, Loving Spirit from the Father, grant in Christ the help we need.
Holy Spirit, come, renew us, come yourself to make us live; holy through your loving presence, holy through the gifts you give.
Holy Spirit, come, possess us, You the Love of Three in One, Holy Spirit of the Father, Holy Spirit of the Son. Come Holy Spirit, warm the hearts of all with the fire of your love.
V. Send forth your spirit and we will be reborn.
R. And you will renew the face of the earth.
We beg you Lord to send the Holy Spirit upon us so that inspired and encouraged by Him we may comply with the duties that are ours, carry our crosses with patience and grow daily in Christian perfection. Grant us, through the same Spirit, the intentions of this novena, or what is most conducive to our salvation and the salvation of all. Amen
Act of Consecration: Divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate my mind and heart and will to You for time and for eternity. May my mind be open to Your divine inspirations and to the teachings of the Church, whose infallible guide You are. May my heart be filled with love of God and of my neighbor and my will conformed to the will of God. May my whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of Christ our Lord to Whom, with the Father and You, be honor and glory forever. Amen
Act of Reparation: O Holy Spirit, source of mercy, truth and holiness, it saddens me to think that there are many who oppose Your inspirations and blind themselves to the known truth. Accept this act of homage in reparation for those offenses. I, too, have many times offended You by my sins. I now implore Your mercy and forgiveness; and I promise with the help of Your Grace never to offend You again. You, Who are so little known and loved, grant that through the merits of Jesus our Redeemer, we may come to know You more and more and realize, more fully, Your presence, Your power and Your love. Amen
Closing Prayer: Almighty and eternal God, You have regenerated us by water and the Holy Spirit, and have given us forgiveness of all our sins, send forth from heaven upon us Your sevenfold Spirit: the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Fortitude, the Spirit of Knowledge and Piety, the Spirit of Fear of the Lord. Amen.
We have offered these prayers to You, eternal Spirit, loving You and praising You in Your beauty and Your majesty, in Your light and Your strength. We pray, Divine Spirit, that You will visit us with Your inspirations and guide us by Your counsel that one day we may dwell with You forever in the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
