SEQUENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Come, Holy Spirit, send us a ray of your light from Heaven. 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 most blessed light, invade the hearts of your faithful inwardly. Without your strength nothing is in man, nothing without fault. Wash what is sordid, wet what is arid, heal what is bleeding. It folds up what is rigid, warms up what is cold, straightens out what is sidetracked. Give the seven holy gifts to your faithful, who only trust you. Give virtue and reward, give holy death, give eternal joy. Amen.
