Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Published by Editorial Staff at 11:56 am under New Pentecost

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!

You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul’s most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;

In our labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away;

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sev’nfold gift descend;

Give them virtue’s sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end.

Amen. Alleluia.

    [...] The beautiful Pentecost prayer of the Church: “Veni Sancte Spiritus…” [...]

    May the Holy Spirit come down on us all here in Switzerland where Paganisme is rife. God Bless you.

    May the grace of the Holy Spirit come down on us all in the world today, especially those who are in need, people who are suffering, and people who are imprisioned, that they may see their errors of there ways through the light of Christ.
    May God bless you and keep you, and may Mother Mary shine upon you.
    Kindest Regards
    Jennie C. Halapua.
