Invocation of the Holy Spirit by Pope John XXIII
“Renew your wonders in this our day, as by a new Pentecost. Grant to Your Church that, being of one mind and steadfast in prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and following the lead of blessed Peter, it may advance the reign of our Divine Savior, the reign of truth and justice, the reign of love and peace. Amen”
Come, Holy Spirit, in your power and might to renew the face of the earth.
The Novena to the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts is the oldest of all novenas. It was first made at the direction of Jesus himself, when he sent his apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.

Eternal Father, Your love for us has no limits! Therefore we surrender entirely to you and we humbly ask you to renew in our hearts the Gift of the Holy Spirit the Paraclete. May your Eternal Love like burning fire consume us wholly so that we may be holy. For the sake of your Name, Father, anoint us powerfully for the service of your kingdom and the proclamation of the Truth. We pray this united with our Holy Mother Mary full of grace and the Holy Spirit, St. Joseph, her Spouse and all your faithful Angels and Saints. Grant this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
