Collect for Pentecost

Father of light, from whom every good gift comes,
send Your Spirit into our lives with the power of a mighty wind,
and by the flame of Your wisdom open the horizons of our minds.
Loosen our tongues to sing Your praise in words beyond the power of speech,
for without Your Spirit man could never raise his voice in words of peace
or announce the truth that Jesus is Lord,
who lives with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. Amen.
(Pope Pius X, May 8, 1907).

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy spirit, and they shall be created.
R. and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by the same Holy Spirit to have right judgment in all things and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Letanía Del Espíritu Santo
(Litany to the Holy Spirit-Spanish)


Señor, -- Tened piedad de nosotros.
Jesucristo,
Señor,
Dios, Padre celestial,
Dios, Hijo, Redentor del mundo,
Dios, Espíritu Santo,
Trinidad Santa, que sois un solo Dios,
Divina Esencia, Dios verdadero y único,
Espíritu de verdad y de sabiduría,
Espíritu de santidad y de justicia,
Espíritu de entendimiento y de consejo,
Espíritu de caridad y de gozo,
Espíritu de paz y de paciencia,
Espíritu de longanimidad y mansedumbre,
Espíritu de benignidad y de bondad,
Amor substancial del Padre y del Hijo,
Amor y vida de las almas santas,
Fuego siempre ardiendo,
Aqua viva que apagáis la sed de los corazones,

De todo mal, -- Libradnos Espíritu Santo.
De toda impureza de alma y cuerpo,
De toda gula y sensualidad,
De todo afecto a los bienes terrenos,
De todo afecto a cosas y a criaturas,
De toda hipocresía y fingimiento,
De toda imperfección y faltas deliberadas,
Del amor propio y juicio propio,
De la propia voluntad,
De la murmuración,
De la doblez a nuestros prójimos,
De nuestras pasiones y apetitos desordenados,
De no estar atentos a vuestra inspiración Santa,
Del desprecio a las cosas pequeñas,
De la glotonería y malicia,
De todo regalo y comodidad,
De querer buscar o desear algo que no seáis Vos,
De todo lo que te desagrade,
De todo pecado e imperfección y de todo mal,

Padre amantísimo, -- Perdónanos.

Divino Verbo, -- Ten misericordia de nosotros.

Santo y Divino Espíritu, -- No nos dejes hasta ponernos en la posesión de la Divina Escencia, Cielo de los cielos.

Cordero de Dios, que borras los pecados del mundo, -- Enviadnos al divino Consolador.

Cordero de Dios, que borras los pecados del mundo, -- Llenadnos de los dones de vuestro espíritu.

Cordero de Dios, que borras los pecados del mundo, -- Haced que crezcan en nosotros los frutos del Espíritu Santo.

Ven, ¡oh Santo Espíritu!, llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor.

V. Envía tu Espíritu y todo será creado.
R. Y se renovará la faz de la tierra.

Oremos.
¡Oh Dios!, que habéis instruido los corazones de los fieles con la luz del Espíritu Santo,
concedednos, según el mismo Espíritu,
conocer las cosas rectas
y gozar siempre de sus divinos consuelos.
Por Jesucristo, Señor nuestro. R. Amén

Rey Celeste

Rey celeste,
Espíritu Consolador, Espíritu de Verdad,
que estás presente en todas partes y lo llenas todo,
tesoro de todo bien y fuente de la vida,
ven, habita en nosotros,
purifícanos y sálvanos,
Tú que eres bueno. + Amen.

-----------

Heavenly King

Heavenly King,
Spirit of Consolation; Spirit of Truth,
Thou who art present everywhere and the fulfillment of everything,
treasury of all goodness and font of life,
Come Thou, dwell within us,
purify us and save us,
Thou who art good. + Amen.


Pope Leo XIII

Prayer for the Church, Priests and Bishops

O Holy Spirit, we humbly implore Thee to help the Catholic Church, and by Thy supernal power, strengthen and confirm it against the assaults of the enemy. By your charity and grace, renew the spirit of Thy servants whom Thou hast anointed, that in Thee they may glorify the Father and His only begotten Son, our Lord. Amen. (Pope Leo XIII, August 26, 1889)

Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth

Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, come into our hearts; give to all peoples the brightness of Thy light, that they may be pleasing to Thee in the unity of faith. Amen. (Pope Leo XIII, July 31, 1897)
