| Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
Breathe into me Holy Spirit, That all my thoughts may be holy. Move in me, Holy
Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I
may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I may defend all
that is holy. Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Prayer
for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost:
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before
ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work
in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit
to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love. Grant
me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world
and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding
to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel
that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven, the
Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome
with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge
that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, the
Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may
dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true
disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen. |
