Novena for Pentecost May 31 – June 9 | Prayer to Holy Spirit Holy Spirit of light and love, you are the substantial love of the Father and the Son; hear my prayer. Bounteous bestower of most precious gifts, grant me a strong living faith, which makes me accept all revealed truths and shape my conduct in accord with them. Give me a most confident hope in all divine promises which prompts me to abandon myself unreservedly to you and your guidance. Infuse into me a love of perfect goodwill, which makes me accomplish God’s will in all things and act according to God’s least desires. Make me love not only my friends but my enemies as well in imitation of Jesus Christ who through you offered himself on the Cross for all people. Holy Spirit, animate, inspire, and guide me, and help me to be always a true follower of Jesus. Amen (Pray each day followed by the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be for the intentions of Pope Francis)
