Pentecost Novena Day Five
Written by Edith Stein   

Day 5 Are You the wealth of spirit and of power
By which the Lamb loosens the seals
From God’s eternal decree?
Driven by You the messengers of judgment
Ride through the world
And with sharp sword divide
The reign of light from the reign of night.
Then the Heavens are renewed, and new the earth,
And through Your breath
Everything finds its rightful place:
      Holy Spirit—
            Conquering power!
 
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up women suffering from mental illnesses and addictions.
Bring your peace to their lives in tangible ways. Amen.
 
Pentecost Novena Day Four
Written by Edith Stein   
Day 4: Are you the ray
That flashes from the Eternal Judge’s throne
To pierce into the night of my soul,
Which never knew itself?
Merciful, yet unrelenting, it penetrates the hidden crevices.
The soul takes fright at sight of her own self,
Makes room for holy awe,
For the beginning of that wisdom
Descending from on high,
And anchoring us securely in the heights,—
For Your workings, which create us anew:
      Holy Spirit—
            All-penetrating ray!
 
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up all single, widowed and divorced women today.
In your mercy, provide for their needs. Amen.
 
Pentecost Novena Day Three
Written by Edith Stein   
Day 3: Are You not the sweet manna
Which flows from the heart of the Son
Into mine,
Food for angels and for the blessed?
He who from death to life arose,
Has awakened me, too, to new life,
From the sleep of death,
New life he gives me day by day.
Some day his abundance will completely flow through me,
Life of Your life—yes, You, Yourself:
      Holy Spirit—
            Eternal life!
 
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up women who suffer illness and face death.
May fear vanish, and pain subside. Amen.
