This is late. This novena started Friday, June 3rd.

Never mind that, just go ahead and say the first days along with the present day.

Act of Oblation to the Holy Spirit
TO BE RECITED DAILY DURING THE NOVENA

ON MY KNEES before the great cloud of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself body and soul to Thee, eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice and the might of Thy love. Thou art the strength and light of my soul. In Thee I live and move and have my being. I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee. Make me faithful in every thought, and grant that I may always listen to Thy voice, watch for Thy light, and follow Thy gracious inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee, and I ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced feet of Jesus, looking at His five Wounds, trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee, adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee with the sin which Thou wilt not forgive. Grant to me the grace, O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and of the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere, "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant hears." Amen. (After a prayer by Cardinal Newman)

Thanks for posting this Novena. I said this one just before we put our house on the market when we were leaving NJ almost 23 years ago. It sold within a week of being listed, in the first week of December!

I'm going to say it this time for my husband, who has been doing some high level Mathematics research for the last 5 years. He thinks he's close to getting the solution, so I'll be asking the Holy Spirit for wisdom for him.
