The Holy Spirit Chaplet by Blessed Elena Guerra
This prayer to the Holy Spirit originated with the exhortation of Pope Leo XIII. Indeed the same Pontiff in a Papal brief promulgated on May 5, 1895, exhorted all Catholics to devoutly make this Holy Spirit Novena. On this occasion, the Pope suggested a special formula of prayer: “Send forth your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.” He strongly recommended this to be prayed. With this in mind, in 1896, Blessed Elena Guerra, “The Holy Spirit Apostle of modern times,” composed these invocations, to ask the Holy Spirit for the grace of a new Pentecost which renews the face of the earth.
– O God, come to my assistance.
– O Lord, make haste to help me.
– Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen
In Each Mystery, ask for a gift of the Holy Spirit (then)
Repeat seven times on seven beads.
“Father in the name of Jesus, send forth your spirit and renew the world”
Conclude with
“O Mary, who by the work of the Holy Spirit, conceived the Saviour, pray for us.”
