Novena to the Holy Spirit-Day 9
SENT WITH THE POWER TO RECONCILE
Thou on those who evermore,
Thee confess and Thee adore,
In Thy sevenfold gifts, descend;
Give them comfort when they die;
Give them life with Thee on high;
Give them joys which never end.
Amen.
Father, through Jesus, Your Son, You sent the Paraclete to be at our side, to reconcile
all Creation to you.
Grant that I may be forever open to Jesus' invitation to "Receive The Holy Spirit!"
Father, open our hearts to accept Your forgiveness for our sins and to offer that same
forgiveness to those who we feel have offended us.
For merciful forgiveness is the essence of Your love revealed in Your Son.
Come, O Divine Spirit, fill my heart with Your Heavenly Fruits - Your charity, joy,
peace patience, benignity, goodness, faith, mildness and temperance, that I may, by
faithful submission to your Inspiration, merit to be united eternally with You in the
love of the Father and the Son.
Amen.
Pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses I offer myself, soul and
body, to You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the unerring
keenness of Your justice and the might of Your love. You are the Strength and Light of
my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness
to grace and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against You.
Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Your light
and listen to Your voice and follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give
myself to You and ask You by Your compassion to watch over me in my weakness.
Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His
Precious Blood and adoring his opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore You,
Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Your grace that I may never
sin against You. Give me grace, O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say
to You always and everywhere, "Speak, Lord, for Your servant heareth."
Amen
