The Holy Spirit hovering over Creation

Hymn Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come From thy bright heav'nly throne; Come, take possession of our souls, And make them all thine own. Thou who art called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above, The living spring, the living fire, Sweet unction and true love. Thou who art sevenfold in thy grace, Finger of God's right hand; His promise, teaching little ones To speak and understand. O guide our minds with thy blest light, With love our hearts inflame; And with thy strength, which ne'er decays, Confirm our mortal frame. Far from us drive our deadly foe; True peace unto us bring; And through all perils lead us safe Beneath thy sacred wing. Through thee may we the Father know, Through thee th'eternal Son, And thee the Spirit of them both, Thrice-blessed three in One. To God the Father, God the Son And God the Spirit, praise be done; And Christ the Lord upon us pour The Spirit's gift forever more. Amen.

Ant. Send forth. Ps. 54 Save me, O God, by your Name; in your might, defend my cause. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For the arrogant have risen up against me, and the ruthless have sought my life, those who have no regard for God. Behold, God is my helper; it is the Lord who sustains my life. Render evil to those who spy on me; in your faithfulness, destroy them. I will offer you a freewill sacrifice and praise your Name, O LORD, for it is good. For you have rescued me from every trouble, and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Ant. Send forth, O God, your Spirit into my heart that it may enlighten me and teach me that I might know what is acceptable to your heart. Alleluia.

V. The Holy Spirit and the Father and the Son are a perpetual fountain and a spiritual balm. R. Come and visit my mind cast as it is into unhealthy habits with spiritual balm. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. The Holy Spirit and the Father and the Son are a perpetual fountain and a spiritual balm.

V. Confirm, O God, what you have wrought in us. R. From your temple which is in Jerusalem. Let us pray: We pray you, O Lord, may the power of the Holy Spirit be ever with us; may it mercifully purify our hearts, and safeguard them from all harm; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
