D EDICATION
These pages written in honor of God, the Holy Ghost are most humbly and most lovingly inscribed to Mary Immaculate Spouse of the Holy Ghost to the end that all who devoutly use this little volume may walk more worthily of their vocation as becometh the sons of God, the Father through the merits of Jesus Christ His Son in the Power of the Holy Ghost and By Mary’s own most singular intercession
P OPE L EO XIII ON D EVOTION TO THE H OLY G HOST
“We earnestly desire that … piety may increase and be inflamed towards the Holy Ghost, to Whom especially all of us owe the graces of following the paths of truth and virtue.
“All preachers and those having care of souls should remember that it is their duty to instruct their people more diligently and more fully about the Holy Ghost…. What should be chiefly dwelt upon and clearly explained is the multitude and greatness of the benefits which have been bestowed, and are constantly bestowed upon us, by this Divine Giver.
“We decree and command that throughout the Catholic Church this year, and every subsequent year, a Novena shall take place before Whit-Sunday in all parish churches.”
(Encyclical, May 9, 1897.)
