Come Holy Ghost, Enlighten My Mind {Printable}

I have the privilege of teaching CCD to a group of ALL boys this year.  As we get closer to First Penance, Father wanted me to teach them this special prayer he loves.  It is a prayer to help them as they examine their conscience and it goes like this:

"Come Holy Ghost , enlighten my mind, strengthen my will, that I may know my sins, be truly sorry for them, and humbly confess them."

Isn't it just beautiful? So the printable I created has five pages, here are the instructions for all five of them {though they are pretty obvious}.  What I did was print the first page as a cover page and the additional four front and back to save on paper, then I stapled them on the left hand side like a little book:

1. Cover Page, to color.

2. Page 1, to trace the prayer and color.

3. Page 2, to color and practice the prayer.

4. Page 3, to color in the picture and also the bubble letters.

5. Page 4, to practice the prayer and also copy it on the lines.

Here is the free printable for the Come Holy Ghost prayer! Enjoy!

Prepare for Pentecost: Holy Ghost Novena

One of my all-time favorite novenas is the novena in honor of the Holy Spirit.  It is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.

In preparation for Pentecost Sunday, here are the nine posts (I've posted them here at Raising Little Saints in the past) of this beautiful Novena.  Our eldest son just received Confirmation and he will be in charge of heading this prayer devotion for our family.

Prepare for Pentecost: Holy Ghost Novena Day 1 "Spirit"

Pentecost Sunday is June 12th this year.  To prepare our family for this day, we always like to do the Novena to the Holy Ghost.  We won't start it until the 3rd of June so that we end on 11th (the Saturday before Pentecost).  I wanted to post this early so that you have it available for your use.  Also this way if anyone needs to start ahead or needs to catch up, you have it available.  :)

FYI:  The novena in honor of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.

Since I'm a visual learner, I'm posting a video of it:
