1st Day: Feast Of Pentecost.--For the Gift of Fear.

O most Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, we adore Thee as true God together with the Father and the Son. We bless Thee with the benedictions of the angels and the seraphim. We offer Thee our whole hearts, and give Thee most fervent thanks for all the good which Thou hast done, and art daily doing, to the world. Thou art the giver of all supernatural gifts, and thou didst fill with immense graces the soul of Mary, the great Mother of God. We beseech Thee also to visit us with thy grace and with thy love, and especially to grant us the gift of thy holy fear, that it may restrain us from relapsing again into those sins, for which we now implore thy pardon with all sincerity. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory three times.


Supplication:

Most Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, Father of the poor, Consoler of the afflicted. Light of hearts, and Sanctifier of souls, look upon us who lie prostrate in Thy presence, adoring Thee with the profoundest worship. A thousand times we bless Thee, and with the seraphim before Thy throne we cry Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus! We firmly believe that Thou art eternal God, consubstantial with the Father and the Son. We hope in Thy goodness, to save and sanctify our souls. We love Thee, O divine love, with all our affections, and above all created things; for Thou art infinite goodness, and alone worthy of all love. How ungrateful have we been towards Thee! how deaf to Thy holy inspirations! how often have we offended Thee by actual sins! O blessed Spirit, we beg pardon of Thee with tears in our eyes, and it is our greatest unhappiness to think that we have ever offended Thee, our chief good. Vouchsafe in Thy pity to accept the offering of our cold hearts, and to wound them with a ray of Thy light and with a spark of Thy holy fire. O Thou who didst fill the soul of the most holy Mary with immense graces, and didst inflame with heavenly zeal the hearts of the Apostles, kindle in our poor hearts the fervour of Thy love. Thou art the Divine Spirit; strengthen us against all evil spirits. Thou art fire; O light up Thy holy love in our hearts. Thou art light; illuminate our minds with the knowledge of eternal things. Thou art a dove; grant to us simplicity of manners. Thou art a gentle wind; dissipate the stormy gusts of our evil passions. Thou art a tongue; teach our tongues to be alway blessing Thee. Thou art a cloud; hide us beneath the shadow of Thy protection. Thou art the giver of all heavenly gifts; animate us, we beseech Thee, with Thy charity, direct us by Thy goodness, and save us by Thy mercy, that we may always bless Thee, praise Thee, and most fervently love Thee, on earth in time, and then in heaven for all eternity. Amen.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
V. Lord, hear our prayer.
R. And let our cry come unto Thee.

O God, who dost infuse into the hearts of Thy faithful the gifts of charity by the grace of the Holy Spirit, grant, we beseech Thee, to Thy servants health of mind and body, that they may love Thee with all their strength, and with a perfect love do such things as are pleasing in Thy sight; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the Divine assistance remain with us always; and may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
