🪨On Pentecost Sunday, the Church grants a Plenary Indulgence to all the faithful who publicly recite or sing the hymn:
🪨 Veni Creator Spiritus.
A plenary indulgence is a complete remission of the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven, a beautiful gift of God’s mercy!
🪨Veni Creator Spiritus (English Translation)
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
To Thee, the Comforter, we cry,
To Thee, the Gift of God Most High;
The Fount of life, the Fire of love,
The soul’s Anointing from above.
The sevenfold gifts of grace are Thine,
O Finger of the Hand Divine;
Thou art the Promise of the Father,
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.
Kindle our senses with Thy light,
And make our hearts with love unite;
Strengthen our weakness by Thy power,
And drive all evil foes away.
Grant us through Thee to know the Father,
And know the Son, and Thee, His Spirit;
And may we evermore believe,
And in the Triune God confide.
Glory to God the Father be,
Glory to Christ, Who rose from the dead,
And to the Holy Paraclete,
Now and throughout eternity. Amen.
🪨How to receive it:
1. Publicly pray or sing the Veni Creator Spiritus (in church, with family, or in a group)
2. Receive Holy Communion
3. Go to Confession (within about 20 days before or after)
4. Be detached from all sin
5. Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father
