Today we begin the Ten-Day Devotion to the Holy Sp Today we begin the Ten-Day Devotion to the Holy Spirit.
This devotion in preparation for Pentecost is a long-standing tradition in the Church that invites us to grow in self-knowledge, strengthen our hearts, and open ourselves more fully to the action of the Holy Spirit in our daily live.
--
DAY ONE | Pentecost: The Day the Holy Spirit Came Down 
PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Come, O Holy Spirit: enlighten my understanding to know your commands; strengthen my heart against the wiles of the enemy; inflame my will... I have heard your voice, and I don’t want to harden my heart to resisting, by saying ‘later... tomorrow.’ Nunc coepi! Now! Lest there be no tomorrow for me! O, Spirit of truth and wisdom, Spirit of understanding and counsel, Spirit of joy and peace! I want what you want, I want it because you want it, I want it as you want it, I want it when you want it.
REFLECTION | Christ is Passing By, no. 127
“On Pentecost, all that is a thing of the past. The Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of strength, has made them firm, strong, daring. The word of the apostles resounds forcefully through the streets of Jerusalem. The men and women who have come to the city from all parts of the world listen with amazement. “Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, Jews as well as proselytes, Cretans and Arabs, we have heard them speaking in our own languages of the wonderful works of God.” These wonders, which take place before their own eyes, leads them to listen to the preaching of the apostles.”
CONCLUDING PRAYER
Holy and divine Spirit! Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your spouse, bring the fullness of your gifts into our hearts. Comforted and strengthened by you, may we live according to your will and may we die praising your infinite mercy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
