PARISH
Prayer of the Gifts of the
Holy Spirit
MINISTRIES
Holy Spirit, divine Consoler, I
adore You as my true God, with
God the Father and God the Son. I
adore You and unite myself to the adoration You receive from the angels and saints.
I give You my heart and I offer my ardent thanksgiving for all the grace which You never cease to bestow
on me.
O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with
such immense favors, I beg You to visit me with Your
grace and Your love and to grant me the gift of holy
fear, so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me
from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg
pardon.
Grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You for
the future with increased fervor, follow with more
promptness Your holy inspirations, and observe your
divine precepts with greater fidelity.
Grant me the gift of knowledge, so that I may know
the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy
teaching, may walk, without deviation, in the path of
eternal salvation.
Grant me the gift of fortitude, so that I may overcome
courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the
dangers of this world which threaten the salvation of
my soul.
Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I may choose
what is more conducive to my spiritual advancement
and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.
Grant me the gift of understanding, so that I may
apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation
of heavenly things detach my thoughts and affections
from the vain things of this miserable world.
Grant me the gift of wisdom, so that I may rightly
direct all my actions, referring them to God as my
last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him
in this life, I may have the happiness of possessing
Him eternally in the next. Amen.
