The Holy Spirit Novena, Day 5 “Ray of heavenly light, have mercy on us.” June 3, 2025 The Holy Spirit Novena, Day 5 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 5 of our Novena to the Holy Spirit! We pray in our Litany: “Ray of heavenly light, have mercy on us.” The Holy Spirit is that “Ray of heavenly light!” Our Lady calls us to that “Light!” We need to seek the Holy Spirit, who can illuminate our hearts with love. She told us: June 2, 2016  “Dear children, as the Mother of the Church, as your mother, I am smiling as I look at you: how you are coming to me, how you are gathering around me, how you are seeking me. My comings among you are proof of how much Heaven loves you. They indicate to you the way to eternal life, to salvation. My apostles, you who strive to have a pure heart and to have my Son in it, you are on the good way. You who are seeking my Son are seeking the good way. He left many signs of His love. He left hope. It is easy to find Him if you are ready for sacrifice and penance – if you have patience, mercy and love for your neighbors. Many of my children do not see and do not hear because they do not want to. They do not accept my words and my works, yet through me, my Son calls everyone. His Spirit illuminates all of my children in the light of the Heavenly Father, in the unity of Heaven and Earth, in mutual love – because love invokes love and makes works more important than words. Therefore, my apostles, pray for your Church, love it and do works of love. No matter how betrayed or wounded, it is here because it comes from the Heavenly Father. Pray for your shepherds so that in them you may see the greatness of the love of my Son. Thank you.” Let us seek the Jesus, who can send us His Holy Spirit to illuminate our hearts in the light of the Heavenly Father! Let us pray: Litany of the Holy Spirit (For private use only) Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Father all-powerful, have mercy on us. Jesus, Eternal Son of the Father, Redeemer of the world, save us. Spirit of the Father and the Son, boundless life of both, sanctify us. Holy Trinity, hear us. Holy Spirit, Who proceedest from the Father and the Son, enter our hearts. Holy Spirit, Who art equal to the Father and the Son, enter our hearts. Promise of God the Father, have mercy on us. Ray of heavenly light, have mercy on us.
