“Holy Spirit, you who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideals. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you, no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen. “[1] X Research source

“O almighty and eternal God, you have adopted me as your child in the holy sacrament of Baptism; granted to me the remission of my sins at the tribunal of penance; and has fed me with the bread of angels; perfect in me, I beseech you, all these benefits. Grant unto me the spirit of Wisdom, that I may despise the perishable things of this world, and love the things that are eternal; the spirit of Understanding, to enlighten me and to give me the knowledge of religion; the spirit of Counsel, that I may diligently seek the surest ways of pleasing God and obtaining heaven; the spirit of Fortitude, that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation; the spirit of Knowledge, that I may be enlightened in the ways of God; the spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God both sweet and amiable; the spirit of Fear, that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease him. Seal me, in your mercy, with the seal of a disciple of Jesus Christ, unto everlasting life; and grant that, carrying the cross upon my forehead, I may carry it also in my heart, and confessing you boldly before men, may merit to be one day reckoned in the number of your elect. Amen. “[3] X Research source
“We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name. With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts; Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it. We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder. Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions. Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right. All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever. Amen. “[4] X Research source
This is the first step to praying the Rosary. The following steps describe a way to pray a special kind of Rosary called the Holy Spirit Chaplet. To pray the Holy Spirit Chaplet, use a rosary with 5 sets of 7 beads—before and after each set, there should be 2 large beads. Before the 5 sets, there should be 3 small beads at the beginning of the rosary. On the first of the beginning 3 beads, make the Sign of the Cross.
On the second of the beginning 3 beads, say the Act of Contrition.
On the third of the beginning 3 beads, sing the “Come Holy Ghost” Hymn.
Say the Glory Be while you hold one of the 7 small beads.
Pray the Our Father on the first of the 2 large beads.
Recite the Hail Mary on the second of the 2 large beads.
The First Mystery: By the Holy Ghost is Jesus conceived of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Recite Luke 1:35: “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; and therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. " The Second Mystery: The Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jesus when he was baptized. Recite Matthew 3:16: “Jesus, being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo! the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon Him. " The Third Mystery: By the Spirit is Jesus led into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. Recite Luke 4:1-2: “Jesus, being full of the Holy ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. " The Fourth Mystery: The Holy Ghost in the Church. Recite Acts 2. 2: 4,11: “Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. . . . and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak. . . . the wonderful works of God. " The Fifth Mystery: The Holy Ghost in the soul of the just man and just woman. Recite 1 Corinthians 6:19: “Know you not that you members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, Who is in you?”
Say the Apostles’ Creed on the final large 2 beads in the rosary. Then pray an Our Father and a Hail Mary.
Then, announce the “Final Prayer” and declare, “O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation. Grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. “[14] X Research source
