PRAYERS
TO THE
HOLY SPIRIT
Prayer
for the Seven Gifts
of the Holy Spirit
Lord
Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into heaven did promise to send the Holy
Spirit to finish Your work
in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit
to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of Your grace and Your 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 Your 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 You 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, and
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 Your true disciples,
and animate me in all things with Your Spirit.
AMEN.
