A Marian Litany for Pentecost

+


The following litany appeared on the blog of a Daughter of St. Paul, Sr. Anne Flanagan last year:




O Virgin Mary,
in your Immaculate Conception,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
you became the tabernacle of God.

Pray that the Spirit hasten to us and renew the face of the earth!

O Virgin Mary,
in the mystery of the Incarnation,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
you became the Mother of God.

Pray that the Spirit hasten to us and renew the face of the earth!

O Virgin Mary,
at the foot of the Cross,
by the will of the Father and the Son.
and by the work of the Holy Spirit,
you became the mother of humanity.

Pray that the Spirit hasten to us and renew the face of the earth!

O Virgin Mary,
while you were at prayer
with the Apostles in the Cenacle,
you were clothed anew in the Holy Spirit.

Pray that the Spirit hasten to us and renew the face of the earth!


O Mary, Queen of Pentecost,
I pray you to ask the Holy Spirit 
to infuse in my heart
the gifts of wisdom, understanding and counsel, 
of fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.
Ask the Spirit to renew and strengthen 
this week and inconstant heart of mine,
and to make it ever more similar to yours,
so that I might become, now and forever,
the temple and tabernacle of the divine presence.
Amen.
