Explanation of the Veni Sancte Spiritus

By Nicholas Gihr and Rev. Dr. Nicholas Gihr

It is a common and well grounded lament that in teaching the Word of God, the doctrine concerning the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity is to a large extent sadly neglected. Other spiritual writers are of the same opinion. These considerations justify every effort to further the devotion to the Holy Spirit among the clergy and the laity by a thoroughgoing explanation of the exceedingly meritorious Pentecost Sequence. Many saints were distinguished for their ardent devotion to the Holy Ghost. The seraphic virgin Teresa began nearly all her letters with the pious wish and blessing: ?May the Holy Spirit (or the grace of the Holy Ghost) be with you at all times.?
