A Novena to the Holy Spirit

Second Day

Opening Song:

Opening Prayer:

Father, at Your Son's ascension into heaven He promised to send the Holy Spirit on the apostles and all Christian believers. You filled them with love, grace, and heavenly wisdom: fill us also with the gift of your Spirit. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Scripture:

Joel 2:28

``I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.''

(Silent or shared reflection.)

Response:

Pour out your Spirit upon me, O God, as you promised of old. May my eyes see the mighty works you work upon the earth.

Closing Prayer:

Prayer for a New Millennium
