"CHAPLET OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"
​O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and all the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just.

Let my charity be such as to offend no one, and hurt no one's feelings; so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me. Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations and console me in afflictions.

Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen.

1st Mystery
By the Holy Ghost is Jesus conceived of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Meditation: "...The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God." (Luke 1:35)

Practice: Diligently implore the aid of the Divine Spirit and Mary's intercession to imitate the virtues of Jesus Christ, Who is the Model of virtues, so that you may be made conformable to the image of the Son of God.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be... (7 times)

2nd Mystery
The Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jesus when he was baptized.

Meditation: "And when Jesus had been baptized he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him."

Practice: Hold in the highest esteem the priceless gift of sanctifying grace, infused into your soul by the Holy Spirit in baptism. Keep the promises to which you then pledged yourself. Increase, by constant practice, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Ever live and become children of God and members of God's true Church, so as to obtain, hereafter, the inheritance of Heaven.

3rd Mystery
By the Spirit is Jesus led into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

Meditation: "Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days being put to the test by the devil."

Practice: Be ever grateful for the seven-fold gift of the Holy Ghost bestowed upon you in confirmation, for the spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel and fortitude, of knowledge and piety, and of the fear of the Lord. Faithfully yield to His Divine guidance, so that, in all the trials and temptations of life, you may act manfully, and become a perfect Christian and valiant soldier of Jesus Christ.

4th Mystery
The Holy Spirit in the Church.

Meditation: "...suddenly there came from Heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting...They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves."

Practice: Thank God for having made you a child of His Church which is ever animated and directed by the Divine Spirit, sent into this world for that purpose of the day of Pentecost. Hear and obey the Holy See, the infallible mouthpiece of the Holy Ghost, and the Church, the pillar and ground of truth. Uphold her doctrines, seek her interests, defend her rights.
