The Pentecost Novena to the Holy Spirit begins today, an excellent time to pray humbly and intensely for our holy father Pope Leo to grant the Church the great gift of restoring unlimited access to the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass and sacraments.
Although our Lord grants us innumerable good things without our asking, yet there are some things He is pleased to give only upon persistent (and reverent) prayer. Such may be the case in this matter.
The successor of Saint Peter is the shepherd whose duty is to feed the Lord’s lambs and sheep who hunger for the orthodoxy and rich graces of the traditional Latin Mass. Let us then invited holy Mary to join us in this petition to the Almighty that this special grace of the Holy Spirit be conferred upon the Church.
Will you also join in? No uniform prayer is required, though the traditional prayer, “Come, Holy Spirit,” would be fitting with seven repetitions of the “Glory be to the Father” added to it.
Please invite others to participate in this nine day prayer.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love, Alleluia.
Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created, Alleluia, and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by that same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Glory be to the Father… (said seven times)
- Veni Sancte Spiritus, reple tuórum corda fidélium et tui amóris in eis ignem accénde, Alleluia
Emítte Spíritum tuum, et creabúntur, Alleluia.
Et renovábis fáciem terræ. - Orémus.
Deus, qui corda fidélium Sancti Spíritus illustratióne docuísti, da nobis in eódem Spíritu recta sápere, et de eius semper consolatióne gaudére. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen. - Gloria Patri et Filii et Spiritui Sancto… (septies)
