“And I send the promise of my Father upon you. But stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.”

The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St. Luke 24:49

The novena in honor of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church.

Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit

 

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself, soul and body to You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Your light, and listen to Your voice, and follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give myself to You and ask You, by Your compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore You, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give me grace, O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and everywhere, “Speak Lord for Your servant heareth.” Amen.

To be recited daily during the Novena

PRAYER FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into heaven did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of Your grace and Your love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with You and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, and the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Your true disciples and animate me in all things with Your Spirit. Amen.

Novena for Ascension Thursday (concludes May 29) Saturday, May 3 2014 

Novenas altarstonesoratory 6:12 pm

Ascension Day

They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?  But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:  But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.  And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.  And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments. Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.

And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave.

Ave

Maria

 

Venit autem, et Nicodemus qui venerat ad Iesum nocte primum, ferens mixturam murrae et aloes quasi libras centum.

He came therefore, and Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

Ave

Maria…

Acceperunt ergo corpus Iesu et ligaverunt eum linteis cum aromatibus sicut mos Iudaeis est sepelire.

Ave

Ibi ergo propter parasceven Iudaeorum quia iuxta erat monumentum posuerunt Iesum.

There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Ave

Et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti et abiit.

And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.

Ave

Maria…

Dies erat parasceves et sabbatum inlucescebat

And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.

And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.  In that hour, vouchsafe, Oh my God, to hear my prayers and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, and of His blessed mother.  Amen.

  

(It is piously believed that whoever recites the above prayers fifteen times a day from the feast of St. Andrew (30th November) until Christmas will obtained what is asked.)

Mother of Christ, hear thou thy people’s cry, Star of the deep and Portal of the sky! Mother of Him who thee made from nothing made. Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid: Oh, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee, Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.

Novena for the Feast of the Assumption

 

 

 

Prayers of Thanksgiving for Our Lady’s Assumption.

 

 

i. 300 Days, once a day. ii. Plenary, once a month. I, II, IV. (See Instructions, p. i.) 5 Pius VII, Mem. July 19,

1822

 *

Adore the eternal FATHER with a PATER, Ave, and Gloria ; then say,

 

I ADORE Thee, Eternal FATHER, my LORD and my GOD, in union with all the heavenly host, rendering Thee infinite thanks for every grace and favour Thou hast granted to Mary, most holy Virgin, thy wellbeloved daughter, and, above all, for that height of power to which Thou didst exalt her by her Assumption into heaven.

Adore the Eternal SON with a PATER, Ave, and Gloria ; then say I ADORE Thee too, Eternal SON, my GOD, my LORD, and my REDEEMER, in union with all the heavenly host, rendering Thee infinite thanks for every grace and favour Thou hast granted to Mary, Virgin most blessed, thy well-beloved Mother, and, above all, for the gift of highest wisdom with which Thou didst glorify her on her Assumption into heaven.

 *

Adore the HOLY GHOST with a PATER, Ave, and Gloria ; then say,

I ADORE Thee also, O HOLY GHOST, the PARACLETE, my GOD and my LORD, and in union with all the heavenly host I render Thee infinite thanks for every grace and favour Thou hast granted to the most blessed Virgin, thy most loving Spouse, and, above all, for that most perfect and divine charity with which Thou didst inflame her most holy and most pure heart in the act of her most glorious Assumption into heaven. In the name of thy most chaste Spouse, I humbly beg of Thee to grant me the grace of remission of all my most grievous sins which I have committed from the first moment when I was able to sin until this day, for all of which I grieve exceedingly, firmly purposing rather to die than ever again offend thy Divine Majesty; and relying on the high merits and most powerful protection of this thy most loving Spouse, I beg of Thee to grant me the most precious gift of thy grace and Divine love, by vouchsafing me those lights and special helps whereby thy eternal providence has determined to will my salvation, and to bring me to Thyself.

 *

Then say three times,

 HOLY Mary, all ye holy men and women, saints of GOD, intercede for us to our LORD, that we may merit his help and be saved. Amen.

 To the Most Blessed Virgin. 

I ACKNOWLEDGE thee and I venerate thee, most holy Virgin, Queen of Heaven, Lady and Mistress of the Universe, as Daughter of the Eternal FATHER, Mother of his well-beloved SON, and most loving Spouse of the HOLY SPIRIT. Kneeling at the feet of thy great Majesty, with all humility I pray thee, through that divine charity with which thou wast so bounteously enriched on thy Assumption into heaven, to vouchsafe me favour and pity, placing me under thy most safe and faithful protection, and receiving me into the number of thy happy and highly-favoured servants. Deign, Mother and Lady most tender, to accept my miserable heart, memory, will, powers, and senses, internal and external; govern them all in conformity to the good pleasure of thy Divine Son, as I intend by my every thought and deed to give thee glory and honour. And, by that wisdom with which thy well-beloved Son glorified thee, I pray and beseech thee to obtain for me light that I may clearly know myself and my own nothingness, and in particular my sins, that so I may hate and loathe them ; and that I may discern the snares of the infernal enemy, and all his modes of attack, whether open or hidden. Above all, most tender Mother, I beg of thee the grace of N.

*

Say three times, Virgin of all virgins,

To thy shelter take us, Gentlest of the gentle, Chaste and gentle make us.

 

Let us pray.

 

PARDON, O LORD, we beseech Thee, the sins of thy servants; that we, who of our own actions know not how to please Thee, may be saved by the intercession of the Mother of thy SON, our LORD. Through the same CHRIST our LORD. Amen. May the almighty and merciful LORD, FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, bless and preserve us. Amen.

 

 

 

O GLORIOSA virginum Sublimis inter sidera,

Qui te creavit parvulum Lactente nutris ubere.

O QUEEN of all the virgin choir, Enthroned above the starry sky;

Who with pure milk from thy own breast Thy own CREATOR didst supply.

Quod Heva tristis abstulit Tu reddis almo germine:

Intrent ut astra flebiles, Cæli recludis cardines.

What man hath lost in hapless Eve, Thy sacred womb to man restores;

Thou to the sorrowing here beneath Hast opened heaven’s eternal doors.

Tu regis alti janua, Et aula lucis fulgida:

Vitam datam per Virginem Gentes redemptae plaudite.

Hail, O refulgent Hall of Light! Hail, Gate sublime of Heaven’s high King!

Through Thee redeemed to endless life, Thy praise let all the nations sing.

JESU, tibi sit gloria, Qui natus es de Virgine,

Cum PATRE et almo SPIRITU In sempiterna sæcula.

Amen.

O JESU, born of Virgin bright Immortal glory be to Thee; Praise to the FATHER infinite, And HOLY GHOST eternally.

Amen.
