FIRST DAY
Holy Spirit! Lord of Light! From Your clear
celestial height, Your pure beaming radiance
give!
The Holy Spirit
Only one thing is important -- eternal
salvation. Only one thing, therefore, is to be
feared--sin? Sin is the result of ignorance,
weakness, and indifference The Holy Spirit is
the Spirit of Light, of Strength, and of Love.
With His sevenfold gifts He enlightens the
mind, strengthens the will, and inflames the
heart with love of God. To ensure our
salvation we ought to invoke the Divine Spirit
daily, for "The Spirit helpeth our infirmity.
We know not what we should pray for as we
ought. But the Spirit Himself asketh for us."
Prayer
Almighty and eternal God, Who hast
vouchsafed to regenerate us by water and the
Holy Spirit, and hast given us forgiveness all
sins, vouchsafe to 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, and fill us with the
Spirit of Holy Fear. Amen.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE. Glory be to
the Father SEVEN TIMES.
