Hello Forum Friends, I discovered this chaplet a few weeks ago as an answer to a prayer. I have been saying it since and have had many graces. It is very appropriate as a Novena for Pentecost. The Holy Spirit Chaplet by Blessed Elena Guerra This prayer to the Holy Spirit originated with Pope Leo XIII. In 1895 he exhorted all Catholics to devoutly make this Holy Spirit Novena, suggesting a special formula of prayer: “Send forth your Spirit and renew the world.” With this in mind, in 1896 Blessed Elena Guerra, “the Holy Spirit Apostle of modern times”, composed these invocations to ask the Holy Spirit for the grace of a New Pentecost, which renews the face of the earth. Chaplet: O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father… In each mystery ask for a gift of the Holy Spirit. Repeat this prayer seven times: “Father, in the Name of Jesus, send forth your Spirit and renew the world.” Conclude with : “O Mary, who by the work of the Holy Spirit, conceived the Savior, pray for us.” The seven mysteries invoking the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: 1- Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, detach us from earthly things and infuse in us a love and taste of heavenly things. Father, in the Name of Jesus…O Mary, … 2- Come, O Spirit of Understanding, enlighten our minds with the light of your eternal truth and the riches of holy thoughts. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … 3- Come, O Spirit of Counsel, make us docile to your inspirations and guide us in the way of salvation. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … 4- Come, O Spirit of Fortitude , and give us strength, constancy and victory in the battle against our spiritual enemies. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … 5- Come, O Spirit of Knowledge, be the Master of our souls and help us to put into practice Your teachings. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … 6- Come, O Spirit of Piety, come to live in our heart to possess and sanctify all of our affections. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … 7- Come, O Spirit of the Fear of the Lord, reign over our will and make us always disposed to suffer every evil rather than to sin. Father, in the Name…O Mary, … Invocation to Mary: O most pure Virgin Mary, by your Immaculate Conception you were made a chosen tabernacle of Divinity by the Holy Spirit. Pray for us. May the Divine Paraclete come soon to renew the face of the earth. Hail Mary, full of grace… O most pure Virgin Mary, by the Mystery of the Incarnation you became true Mother of God by the Holy Spirit. Pray for us. May the Divine Paraclete come soon to renew the face of the earth. Hail Mary, full of grace… O most pure Virgin Mary, persevering in prayer with the Apostles in the Upper Room, you were abundantly inflamed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for us: May the Divine Paraclete come soon to renew the face of the earth. Hail Mary, full of grace… Let us pray: Send Your Spirit, Lord, and transform us interiorly with Your gifts. Create in us a new heart that we may please You and be conformed to Your will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
