May 17, 2024 Reflection – Prayer for Pentecost!

Veni Creator Spiritus!

May 17, 2024

Dear Family of Mary!

This Sunday (May 19, 2024) is Pentecost! We have arrived at this special day. Our Lady emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is of utmost importance! She said to us:

Advent 1983
“Begin by calling on the Holy Spirit each day.
The most important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit descends on earth,
then everything becomes clear
and everything is transformed.”

We can make a commitment to pray to the Holy Spirit each morning from now on! Here is the powerful prayer to the Holy Spirit that the parish in Medjugorje prays before evening mass!! Let’s pray it every day, as we awaken!!

Veni Creator Spiritus:

Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

O Comforter, to Thee we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.

Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;
Thou, finger of God’s hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.

Kindle our sense from above,
and make our hearts o’erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply.

Far from us drive the foe we dread,
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside.

Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest.

Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.

Thank you, dearest Mother, for guiding us in our relationship with the Holy Spirit, our guide and strength in these days. We promise to pray to the Holy Spirit each morning and often throughout the day!! Amen!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
