Come, Holy Spiri, come!


The Mass for Pentecost has a Sequence. I will copy some of it here as I have often used it for prayer, but that was years ago in Chile. Some of the lines still speak to me so I will share those with you:

Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from our celestial home shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store!

You, of comforters the best; You, the soul's most welcome guest; Sweet refreshment here below;

In our labor, rest most sweet; grateful coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe.

Shine within these hearts of yours and our inmost being fill!

Heal our wounds, our strength renew; on our dryness pour your dew;...

Give them joys that never end. Amen, Alleluia.
