Come Holy Spirit, creator, come
from your bright heavenly throne,
come take possession of our souls
and make them all your own
You Who are called Paraclete
blest gift of God above,
the living spring, the living fire,
sweet unction and true love.
You Who are sevenfold in your grace,
finger of God's right hand;
his promise, teaching little ones
to speak and understand.

Prayer and Reflection
for
The Homealone, Housebound, Sick and Elderly
Introduced by Bishop Malcolm McMahon OP who writes;
In this age of Evangelisation I am pleased to recommend this Home Retreat based on the Seven Gifts of The Holy Spirit.
This Retreat reaches out to some of the most vulnerable in our society -
The Elderly, Home Alone, Sick and Housebound.
By using this booklet, I hope that all who feel isolated will anticipate a sense of participation and oneness with the wider community as you join in prayer with each other.
May this Spiritual Exercise give you a feeling of belonging and help you to realize your vocation as valued members of the Body of Christ.
With every good wish and blessings to you all.

(Continued from
O guide our minds with your blest light,
with love our hearts inflame;
and with strength, which never decays,
confirm our mortal frame.
Far from us drive our deadly foe;
true peace unto us bring;
and through all perils, lead us safe
beneath your sacred wing.
Through You may we the Father know;
through You the eternal Son,
and You the Spirit of them both,
thrice-blessed Three in One.
All glory to the Father be,
with his co-equal Son:
the same to You great Paraclete,
While endless ages run.
Amen.
