what does the following mean?

veni sancte spiritus, lumen cordia

veni dator munerum, Pater pauperum

Lux creator optime, sancte spiritus

in aeterna lux credentium

sempiterna lumen cordium

in aeterna sancte spiritus

creator, mysterium, O lux creator optime

Beata, fidelium, sit sempiterna gloria

: well, what does it mean and what language is it?

I had a feeling it was kind of a gospel, so sorry if i made a misspelling and any form of rudeness.

Just curious :)

    It's Latin, and it seems to be a variant of "Veni Sancte Spiritus", sometimes called the "Golden Sequence," a sequence prescribed for the Roman Catholic Mass of Pentecost.

    Veni, Sancte Spiritus, : Come, Holy Ghost

    lumen cordium : light of the heart

    veni, dator munerum : come, giver of gifts

    pater pauperum : father of the poor

    For a devout Christian this would be the case because their doctrine professes that without Christ life has no purpose other than sin. So yes this is what she is saying. Whether or not I agree with her statement is another question.
