Pentecost Sunday Sequence

Come, O Holy Spirit, come! From Your bright and blissful Home Rays of healing light impart. Come, Father of the poor, Source of gifts that will endure Light of every human heart. 

You of all consolers best, Of the soul most kindly Guest, Quick’ning courage do bestow. 

In hard labor You are rest, In the heat You refresh best, And solace give in our woe. 

O most blessed Light divine, Let Your radiance in us shine, And our inmost being fill. 

Nothing good by man is thought, Nothing right by him is wrought, When he spurns Your gracious Will. 

Cleanse our souls from sinful stain, Lave our dryness with Your rain, Heal our wounds and mend our way. 

Bend the stubborn heart and will, Melt the frozen, warm the chill, Guide the steps that go astray. 

On the faithful who in You, Trust with childlike piety, Deign Your sevenfold gift to send. 

Give them virtue’s rich increase, Saving grace to die in peace, Give them joys that never end. Amen.

Alleluia.

To Perceive Animals as God’s Gifts

God Our Heavenly Father, 
You created the world to serve humanity’s needs 
and to lead them to You. 
By our own fault 
we have lost the beautiful relationship 
which we once had with all Your creation. 
Help us to see that by restoring our relationship with You 
we will also restore it with all Your creation. 
Give us the grace to see all animals as gifts from You 
and to treat them with respect 
for they are Your creation. 
We pray for all animals 
who are suffering as a result of our neglect. 
May the order You originally established 
be once again restored to the whole world 
through the intercession of the Glorious Virgin Mary, 
the prayers of St. Francis 
and the merits of Your Son, 
Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Who lives and reigns with You now and forever.

Amen.

To Saint Peregrine

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called “The Mighty,” “The Wonder-Worker,” because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying) 

Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy.

Amen.

A Prayer for Perseverance

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in You as my God and my Saviour. Make me more faithful to Your Gospel and commandments. By sharing in the Eucharist, may I come to live more fully in the life You have given me. Keep Your Love alive within my heart and soul so that I may become worthy of You. Teach me to value and be thankful for all of Your Gifts. Help us to strive for eternal life.
