Veni, Sancte Spiritus Come, Holy Spirit
Veni, Sancte Spiritus, Come, Holy Ghost, et emitte caelitus send down those beams, lucis tuae radium. which sweetly flow in silent streams from Thy bright throne above.
Veni, pater pauperum O come, Thou Father of the poor; veni, dator munerum O come, Thou source of all our store, veni, lumen cordium come, fill our hearts with love.
Da tuis fidelibus, Grant to Thy faithful, dearest Lord, in te confidentifus, whose only hope is Thy sure word, sacrum septenarium. the sevenfold gifts of grace.
Da vertutis meritum, Grant us in life Thy grace that we, da sallutis exitum, in peace may die and ever be, da perenne gaudium, in joy before Thy face. Amen, Alleluia. Amen, Alleluia.
From the Roman Missal, translation by John Austin (16131669).

CARITAS CHRISTI PRAYER
Loving God, You know us and care for us always, and your eternal love flows through us.
Through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we experience that love for humanity.
Give us a share in His compassion, to see your image in all people.
Give us a share in His humility, to serve and not be served.
Give us a share in His justice, to seek righteousness and to show mercy.
Give us a share in His goodness, to reveal your heart to others.
And remind us each day that where Caritas Christi prevails, we will always find you by surrendering our heart to yours.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen. St. Margaret Mary, pray for us.
