Devotion to the Holy Spirit: novena for the multiplication of its fruits

The fruit of the Spirit, on the other hand, is love, joy, peace, patience, benevolence, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5,22:XNUMX)

Day 1: Love, fruit of the Holy Spirit.

BEGINNING: The "Sequence to the Holy Spirit" is recited.

Sequence to the Holy Spirit

Come on, Holy Spirit

send to us from heaven

a ray of your light.

Come, father of the poor,

come, giver of gifts,

come, light of hearts.

Perfect comforter;

sweet host of the soul,

sweet relief.

In fatigue, rest,

in the heat, shelter,

in tears, comfort.

O blissful light,

invade within

the heart of your faithful.

Without your strength

nothing is in man,

nothing without fault.

Wash what is sordid,

wet what is arid,

heal what is bleeding.

Fold what is rigid,

warms what is cold,

halyards what is sidetracked.

Donate to your faithful

that only in you trust

your holy gifts.

Give virtue and reward,

bestow holy death,

it gives eternal joy.

Amen.

Our Father, Ave Maria, Glory to the Father ...

It is repeated 33 times: "The fruit of the Spirit is Love".

It ends with the following prayer:

O God, who at Pentecost you gave the Holy Spirit to the apostles, reunited with Maria SS. in prayer in the Upper Room, filling them with courage and ardent charity, also give us your Holy Spirit, so that our heart may be renewed in your love and become your stable home and throne of your glory and our life be an endless praise to you, who reigns for ever and ever. Amen
