A PRAYER FOR THE CONVERSION OF UNBELIEVERS.
O HOLY Spirit of truth, we beseech Thee to enlighten the minds of unbelievers in the midst of us, to incline their hearts to receive Thy word, and to believe the teachings of Thy Church; give them courage to accept the faith and openly profess it; that they may come into union with Thee and the Father, through Christ our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
THANKSGIVING, CONSECRATION, AND PRAYER TO THE HOLY GHOST.
HOLY Spirit, divine Consoler! I adore Thee as my true God. I bless Thee by uniting myself to the praises Thou dost receive from the angels and the saints. I offer Thee my whole heart, and I render Thee heartfelt thanks for all the benefits that Thou hast bestowed and dost unceasingly bestow upon the world. Thou, Who art the Author of all supernatural gifts and Who didst enrich with immense favors the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, I beseech Thee to visit me by Thy grace and Thy love, and to grant me Thy sevenfold gift, in order that I may with constant love and perseverance walk in the way of my eternal salvation.
PRAYERS TO THE HOLY GHOST IN CONNECTION WITH DEVOTIONS TO THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.
I.
O HOLY Ghost, help me to receive Jesus with love and reverence. Thou art my Teacher and my Sanctifier, and by Thee I live. Thou givest light and strength to my soul. Jesus, hidden in the Blessed Sacrament, is my Saviour and my God. I long to be with Him, that He may abide more in me and I in Him. He is the Bread of life, the true Bread of God. I long to feed with adoration on that living Bread. Be with me, O Blessed Spirit, as in this great light I draw near to the altar, and give me always more faithfulness to Jesus and more love for Him.
