Holy Spirit Novena - Day 1

Holy Spirit! Lord of Light!
From Your clear celestial height,
Your pure beaming radiance give.
The Holy Spirit

MEDITATION
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 helps our infirmity. We know not what we should pray for as
we ought, but the Spirit Himself asks for us."

PRAYER
Almighty and eternal God, Who has vouchsafed to regenerate us by water
and the Holy Spirit, and has given us forgiveness for 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.
