Veni Sancte Spiritus <\/strong><\/p>\n

(Roman Missal translation)<\/em><\/p>\n

Holy Spirit, Lord of light,
\nfrom the clear celestial height
\nthy pure beaming radiance give.<\/p>\n

Come, thou Father of the poor,
\ncome with treasures which endure;
\ncome, thou light of all that live!<\/p>\n

Thou, of all consolers best, thou,
\nthe soul’s delighted guest,
\ndost refreshing peace bestow;<\/p>\n

Thou in toil art comfort sweet;
\npleasant coolness in the heat;
\nsolace in the midst of woe.<\/p>\n

Light immortal, light divine,
\nvisit thou these hearts of thine,
\nand our inmost being fill:<\/p>\n

If thou take thy grace away,
\nnothing pure in man will stay;
\nall his good is turned to ill.<\/p>\n

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
\non our dryness pour thy dew;
\nwash the stains of guilt away:<\/p>\n

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
\nmelt the frozen, warm the chill;
\nguide the steps that go astray.<\/p>\n

Thou, on us who evermore
\nthee confess and thee adore,
\nwith thy sevenfold gifts descend:<\/p>\n

Give us comfort when we die;
\ngive us life with thee on high;
\ngive us joys that never end. Amen.<\/p>\n

Prayer of Entrustment to the Womb of Mary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almighty God, Heavenly Father,
\nwho have placed me, by Baptism, in the womb of the Virgin Mary
\nbeneath her Immaculate Heart
\nto be together with your Son
\nand ever more conformed to Him by the power of the Holy Spirit,
\ngrant that I may whole-heartedly embrace my dependence on you
\nas I place all my trust in my Mother Mary.
\nMay I never scorn my weakness which your Son chose to share with me,
\nbut may I always be grateful to be little and helpless,
\nknowing that without you I can do nothing.
\nVeiled with her beneath the protective care of Saint Joseph her spouse,
\nmay I find in her a refuge against every danger
\nand in her womb a hiding place invisible to the ancient foe.
\nMay I know that I am loved perfectly like Jesus by Joseph and Mary,
\nthose parents, who, receiving everything from You,
\nwill always provide for all of my needs.
\nThrough the same Christ our Lord.
\nAmen.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
