The Veni Sancte Spiritus prayer in Spanish and Latin
Version of the Veni Sancte Spiritus in Spanish
“Come Holy Spirit and from heaven send a ray of your light.
Come father of the poor, come giver of graces, come light of hearts.
Optimum comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet refreshment.
Rest in work, tranquility in burning, comfort in tears.
Oh most holy light: fill the most intimate of the hearts of your faithful.
Without your help there is nothing in man, nothing that is innocent.
Wash what is stained, water what is arid, heal what is sick.
Bend what is rigid, warm what is cold, direct what is lost.
Grant your faithful who trust in You, your seven sacred gifts.
Give them the merit of virtue, give them the port of salvation, give them eternal joy.
Amen.”

Original Latin version of the Veni Sancte Spiritus
“Veni, Sancte Spiritus, et emitte caelitus lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum, veni, dator munerum veni, lumen cordium.
Consolator optimal, dulcis hospes animae, sweet refreshment.
In labore requies, in aestu temperies in fletu solatium.
O lux beatissima, reple cordis intima tuorum fidelium.
Sine tuo numine, nihil est in homine, nihil est innoxium.
Lava quod est sordidum, riga quod est aridum, sana quod est saucium.
Flecte quod est rigidum, fove quod est frigidum, rege quod est devium.
Da tuis fidelibus, in te confidentibus, sacrum septenarium.
Da virtutis meritum, da salutis exitum, da perennial gaudium. Amen.”
