| VENI, Creator Spiritus, mentes tuorum visita, imple superna gratia quae tu creasti pectora. |
COME, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, and in our souls take up Thy rest; come with Thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which Thou hast made. |
| Qui diceris Paraclitus, altissimi donum Dei, fons vivus, ignis, caritas, et spiritalis unctio. |
O comforter, to Thee we cry, O heavenly gift of God Most High, O fount of life and fire of love, and sweet anointing from above. |
| Tu, septiformis munere, digitus paternae dexterae, Tu rite promissum Patris, sermone ditans guttura. |
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known; Thou, finger of God’s hand we own; Thou, promise of the Father, Thou Who dost the tongue with power imbue. |
| Accende lumen sensibus: infunde amorem cordibus: infirma nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti. |
Kindle our sense from above, and make our hearts o’erflow with love; with patience firm and virtue high the weakness of our flesh supply. |
| Hostem repellas longius, pacemque dones protinus: ductore sic te praevio vitemus omne noxium. |
Far from us drive the foe we dread, and grant us Thy peace instead; so shall we not, with Thee for guide, turn from the path of life aside. |
| Per te sciamus da Patrem, noscamus atque Filium; Teque utriusque Spiritum credamus omni tempore. |
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow the Father and the Son to know; and Thee, through endless times confessed, of both the eternal Spirit blest. |
| Deo Patri sit gloria, et Filio, qui a mortuis surrexit, ac Paraclito, in saeculorum saecula. Amen. |
Now to the Father and the Son, Who rose from death, be glory given, with Thou, O Holy Comforter, henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen. |

Merci, Gen, c’est si belle! Il y a trent ans, plus ou moins, it was the tradition of my high school at the beginning of the academic year to travel to St. Mary’s Downtown for a Red Mass, and when the student body sang the Veni Creator, in Latin, it was very powerful.
Thank you for posting this – it was absolutely beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Gen,
Earlier today I made the decision to check out this Cleansing Fire site daily.
My very first online experience here after that decision is “Veni Creator Spiritus @ Notre-Dame de Paris”. How can I react with anything less than PRAISE THE LORD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, PRAISE THE LORD AND GIVER OF LIFE?! Thank you, Gen. Your posting brings me great joy. I am your Catholic brother in Christ.
