Novena of Prayers to the Holy Spirit con't

Come, Teacher of those who are humble of heart, Who humbles the proud-hearted.
Come, Father of the fatherless, Hope of the poor, Treasure of those in need.
Come, Guiding Star of every pilgrim, Harbor for those in danger of shipwreck.
Come, Strength of the living, Salvation of those about to die.
Come, Holy Spirit, and have mercy on me.    St. Augustine

Prayer:  Second Day
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.  Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.  Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy.  Strengthen Me, O Holy Spirit that I may defend all that is holy.  Guard me, O Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy.          St. Augustine
Holy Spirit, love of my heart, I adore you.  Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me.  Tell me what I must do--command me.  I promise to submit myself to all that you will of me, and accept all you permit to befall me.  Let me only know your will.         Cardinal Mercier

Prayer:  Third Day
Most Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, behold me prostrate before you.  Most profoundly do I adore you, most thankfully bless you.  With the countless Seraphim who stand before your throne, I, too, cry out, “Holy, Holy, Holy.”  I firmly believe that you are God, one with the Father and the Son.  I hope that in your goodness you will sanctify and save my soul.  I love you divine Love, with all my heart and above all that this world holds—because you alone, Infinite Goodness, are worthy of all love.  In my blindness and ingratitude, I have often offended you by my sins.  I ask your forgiveness.  I offer you this heart of mine—cold and dark.  I pray you shed your light upon it; warm it with the fire of your love.               St. Alphonsus Liguori (adapted)
