CHAPLET OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Chaplet of the Holy Spirit was approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1902.  It was developed in 1892 by a Franciscan Capuchin missionary of the English Province to give honor to the Holy Spirit. There are five groups of 7 beads each and each group contain a mystery which represents action of the Holy Spirit from Scripture on which one may meditate. Then one is called into a response by incorporating the action of the Spirit into ones life.
 
MYSTERIES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
 
The number 5 symbolizes the 5 wounds of Christ, each of which are fountains of grace given to mankind by the Holy Spirit.
