Come Holy Spirit, Veni Sancti Spiritus


Come, Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly radiance of your light.
Come, father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of the heart. Greatest comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation.
In labor, rest, in heat, temperance, in tears, solace. O most blessed light,
fill the inmost heart of your faithful. Without your grace, there is nothing in us, nothing that is not harmful. Cleanse that which is unclean, water that which is dry, heal that which is wounded. Bend that which is inflexible,
fire that which is chilled, correct what goes astray. Give to your faithful,
those who trust in you, the sevenfold gifts. Grant the reward of virtue,
grant the deliverance of salvation, grant eternal joy.
Come, sweet Holy Spirit.
