A Novena to the Holy Spirit

Third Day

Opening Song:

Opening Prayer:

Father, Your Son has saved us through His death on the cross and by His rising from the dead. May His presence in us lead us to Your truth and the unfolding of the beauty of Your love. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Scripture:

John 14:23-26

``Jesus said, `Anyone who loves me will be true to my word, and my Father will love him, we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words. Yet the word you hear is not mine, it comes from the Father who sent me. This much have I told you while I was still with you: the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything and remind you of all that I told you.'''

(Silent or shared reflection.)

Response:

Enlighten me through your Spirit, O God, and teach me your truths, that I may live and move in your peace, free from all fear and distress.

Closing Prayer:

Prayer for a New Millennium
