Begin be reciting the following prayer…

O Holy Spirit, Divine Consoler!
I adore you as my True God.
I offer You my whole heart,
and I render You heartfelt thanks
for all the benefits You have bestowed upon the world.
You are the author of all supernatural gifts
and enriched the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the Mother of God,
with all favors,
I ask you to visit me by Your grace and Your love,
and grant me the favor
I so earnestly seek…

State your request here…

O Holy Spirit,
spirit of truth, come into our hearts:

DAY ONEpentecost-holy-spirit-desce

O Holy Spirit,
bestow upon us Your seven holy gifts.
Enlighten our understanding that we may know You.
Give us wisdom that Your will may be clear to us
and that we may accept it.
Grant us the gift of counsel
that we may always perceive what is right.
Fortify us that we may always be capable
of fulfilling Your Divine Will.
Inspire us with the spirit of learning
that we may be able to penetrate more deeply
into the truths that You have revealed.
Let our hearts be steeped in the spirit of childlikeness
that we may bring You joy.
Let us have proper fear of God
that we may never grieve You
or wander from the path of goodness. Give us the fulness of Your gifts
that we may glorify You.

Look with compassion upon us,

O Holy Spirit,
and grant us the favor we seek in this novena…

State your request here…

if it be in accordance with Your Holy Will.

Come, O Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful,
and kindle in them the fire of Your love.

Amen.

  2. Thank you Terry for linking this wonderful place! Thank you McGregors! I am going to sit with a dying man tonight, as part of the volunteer program, No One Dies Alone, at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital near me in Michigan. This is a very good meditation to start me off on my prayers for tonight.

  6. What wonderful food I receive for my soul from this site. I may live far away in Australia but your love of our wonderful faith makes me feel like you are always with me. If ever I am looking for a reminder of just how much God loves us all and that He is always watching over us with His merciful love, I just log on and their you all are, my wonderful friends in Christ. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make such a wonderful gift for all those seeking the love and warmth of our loving God. It is so true that we are all one family on the same journey. I will continue to keep you in my prayers always.
    I would like to give a special thank you to Kris for your comments on many of Discerning Hearts podcasts; it is very obvious the Holy Spirit truly lives in you. You are such an inspiration.
    God Bless,
    Thank you all for being true witnesses to your faith.
