Pentecost Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 1 - Spirit of Wisdom Opening Song
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
O Salutaris Hostia
O Salutaris Hostia
Quae coeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur, fer auxilium
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna Gloria
Qui vitam sine termin
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen
O Saving Victim opening wide
The gates of heav’n to us below!
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
To Thy great name be endless praisem
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee.
Amen
Opening Prayers
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send
forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by
the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our
Lord, Amen.
Reading: James 1: 2-8
Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the
testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may
be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God
who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it. But he should ask in
faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed
about by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the
Lord, since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways.
Homily
Song of Reflection

Pray, Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their
exceeding greatness, power and beauty. Teach me to love them above and beyond all the
passing joys and satisfactions of earth. Help me to attain them and possess them forever.
Amen.
Novena Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Oh, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me,
console me. Tell me what I should do; give me your orders. I promise to submit myself to all
that you desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know your
will.
O Holy Spirit, Giver of every good and perfect gift, grant me, I ask you, the intentions of this
Novena. May Your will be done in me and through me. May You be praised and glorified
forevermore! Amen
Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament

Sit et benediction
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen
Down in adoration falling.
Lo! The sacred Host we hail,
Lo! Oe’r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;

Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit Proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen

one God, for ever and ever.

LORD, teach me the way of your statutes;
I shall keep them with care.
Give me understanding to keep your law,
to observe it with all my heart.
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for that is my delight.
Direct my heart toward your testimonies
and away from gain.
Avert my eyes from what is worthless;
by your way give me life.
For your servant, fulfill your promise
made to those who fear you.
Turn away from me the taunts I dread,
for your judgments are good.
See how I long for your precepts;
in your righteousness give me life.

Reading: Psalms 143:1-8
LORD, hear my prayer;
in your faithfulness listen to my
pleading;
answer me in your righteousness.
Do not enter into judgment with your
servant;
before you no one can be just.
The enemy has pursued my soul;
he has crushed my life to the ground.
He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.
My spirit is faint within me;
my heart despairs.
I remember the days of old;
I ponder all your deeds;
the works of your hands I recall.
I stretch out my hands toward you,
my soul to you like a parched land.
Hasten to answer me, LORD;
for my spirit fails me.
Do not hide your face from me,
lest I become like those descending to
the pit.
In the morning let me hear of your
mercy,
for in you I trust.
Homily

One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the LORD’s house
all the days of my life,
To gaze on the LORD’s beauty,
to visit his temple.
For God will hide me in his shelter
in time of trouble,
He will conceal me in the cover of his tent;
and set me high upon a rock.
Even now my head is held high
above my enemies on every side!
I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and chant praise to the LORD.
LORD, show me your way;
lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;
malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD, take courage.

Reading: Romans 15:4-7; 11-14
For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance
and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of
endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping
with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the
glory of God. And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise
him.” And again Isaiah says: “The root of Jesse shall come, raised up to rule the Gentiles;
in him shall the Gentiles hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. I myself am
convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all
knowledge, and able to admonish one another.
Homily

The LORD chastised me harshly,
but did not hand me over to death.

This is the LORD’s own gate,
through it the righteous enter.
I thank you for you answered me;
you have been my Savior.

Matthew 18:1-6
At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you,
unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And
whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. “Whoever causes one of
these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great
millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

O Salutaris Hostia
O Salutaris Hostia
Quae coeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur, fer auxilium
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna Gloria
Qui vitam sine termin
Nobis donet in patria.

O Saving Victim opening wide
The gates of heav’n to us below!
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
To Thy great name be endless praisem
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee.
Amen
Opening Prayers
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send
forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by
the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our
Lord, Amen.
Reading: Galatians 5: 16-26
I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed
to each other, so that you may not do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you
are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity,
licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness,
dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I
warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ [Jesus]
have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow
the Spirit. Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another.

Song of Reflection
Pray, Come, O Divine Spirit, fill my heart with Your heavenly fruits, Your charity, joy, peace,
patience, benignity, goodness, faith, mildness, and temperance, that I may never weary in the
service of God, but by continued faithful submission to Your inspiration may merit to be united
eternally with You in the love of the Father and the Son. Amen

Oh, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me,
console me. Tell me what I should do; give me your orders. I promise to submit myself to all
that you desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know your
will.
O Holy Spirit, Giver of every good and perfect gift, grant me, I ask you, the intentions of this
Novena. May Your will be done in me and through me. May You be praised and glorified
forevermore! Amen

Tantum Ergo
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui

Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen
Down in adoration falling.
Lo! The sacred Host we hail,
Lo! Oe’r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit Proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by

Reading Acts 2: 1-4; 42-47
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly
there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in
which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to
rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in
different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. They devoted themselves to the
teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the
prayers. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the
apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their
property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need.
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking
bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising
God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number
those who were being saved.
Homily
Song of Reflection
Pray, Dear Lord Jesus, I renounce Satan and all my sinful ways that keep me separated from you. I
thank you for dying on the Cross in order to save me from my sins and with your Tesurrection
you bring me to new life in you. I wish to surrender myself to you and follow you as the Lord of
my heart. I ask you to baptize me in the Holy Spirit and in power, that I might follow you more
closely and love you more deeply all the days of my life. Let the gifts of the Holy Spirit come
alive in me. In your precious name I pray. Amen

Disciples Called To Witness: The New Evangelization Prayer
Gracious and merciful God, we pray that through the Holy Spirit all Catholics may hear the call
of the New Evangelization and seek a deeper relationship with your Son, Jesus.
We pray that the New Evangelization will renew the Church, inspiring all Catholics to “go forth
and make disciples of all nations”and transform society through the power of the Gospel.
We pray for all members of the Church, that we heed the words of Christ
—“do not be afraid”— and strengthened by the Holy Spirit’s gift of courage,
give witness to the Gospel and share our faith with others.
We pray that we may become like the father of the prodigal son —filled with compassion for
our missing brothers and sisters— and run to embrace them upon their return.
We pray that all people yearning to know Christ and the Church may encounter him through
the faithful who witness to his love in their lives.
Loving God, our Father, strengthen us to become witnesses to the saving grace of your Son,
Jesus, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen
