Novena to the Holy Spirit: Day 4

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Holy Spirit, Divine Consoler!
I give you praise with the angels and the saints.
I offer you my whole heart, and give you thanks for all you have given me.
You shower your gifts on all the faithful,
I ask you to visit (me/candidate’s name) with your grace and your love
as (I/name of candidate) prepare(s) to be sealed with your power at Confirmation.

Come, O Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful,
and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Loving God, by the light of the Holy Spirit you instructed the hearts of the faithful. Give us, by the light of the same Holy Spirit, a love for what is right and just.

May the Holy Spirit fill our hearts with love for you and respect for all your creation. Give us the gifts of reverence for you and all that you have made.

Come, O Holy Spirit,

fill the hearts of your faithful

and kindle in them the fire of your love.
