If I forget Thee,
Do not forget me.

Day 9: “The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.”
Let everyone who listens answer, “Come.”
Then let all who are thirsty come;
all who want it may have the water of life and have it free.
Revelation 22:17
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We are bold to ask, and even bolder to believe!
Your promises to us will be fulfilled.
Strengthen us in faith, hope and love! Amen.

Day 8: Are You the sweet song of love, and of holy awe,
Resounding ever round God’s throne triune,
Which unifies the pure tone of all beings,
Within itself?
The harmony which fits the limbs to the head,
So that each blissfully finds the secret meaning
Of His being,
And exudes it with gladness freely dissolved
In Your streams:
Holy Spirit—
Eternal jubilation!
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up to you our hopes and dreams!
With you, all things are possible. Encourage us! Amen.

Day 7: Are You the one who made the mirror bright,
Which stands beside the throne of the Almighty
Just like a sea of crystal
Wherein the Godhead views Himself with love?
You bend o’er the most marvelous of Your creations
And beaming shines Your splendor back to you.
The pure beauty of all beings
United in the lovely form of
The virgin, Your flawless bride:
Holy Spirit—
Creator of the World.
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up in thanksgiving our beautiful Earth.
Let our praise for your creation never end. Amen.

Day 6. Are You the master who builds the eternal dome
Rising from earth and through to very Heaven?
The columns, enlivened by You, rise high
And stand firm, immovable.
Marked with the eternal name of God,
They reach high up into the light,
Bearing the cupola, which crowns the holy dome,
Your work encompassing the universe,
Holy Spirit—
God’s shaping hand.
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up all women religious, for perseverance and joy! Amen.
