Come, Holy Spirit

Today is Pentecost Wednesday. See previous post for a brief explanation of the nomenclature. Let us invoke the Holy Spirit for the speedy recovery of our School Director, Rev. Fr. Jose E. David, for unity among people with different ideals, and for peace among nations. Let us also include in our prayers our Supreme Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI (Italian news agency reports that the Pope has become one of the "easy targets" of some terrorist groups) and also that the Fraternity of St. Pius X may be granted an official position within the Church. 
VENI, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.COME, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur;
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Oremus:
DEUS, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
Let us pray:
O GOD, Who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
