CONSECRATION
 TO THE
 HOLY SPIRIT

Venerable Felix of Jesus Rougier, M.Sp.S.J.

 

O Holy Spirit, receive the absolute and  complete consecration of my whole being.

In every instant of my life and in all my actions,
be my Director, my Light, my Guide, my Strength,

and the Love of my heart.

 

I surrender myself without reservations
to the loving action of your grace.
I desire to always be docile to your inspirations.

Transform me through Mary
in Christ Priest and Victim

that I may console His Sacred Heart
and extend your kingdom of holiness
for the glory of the Father

and the salvation of mankind.

 

Jesus, Savior of mankind,

Save them!

 


 

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.

Thou art 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, so to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You.

Give
me grace,
0 Holy Spirit, Spirit of The Father and The Son, to say to You always and everywhere, "Speak Lord, for Your Servant hear." Amen.

Prayer to HOLY SPIRIT
Come Holy Spirit Creator Blest
Prayed by S. John Paul II every day

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.
