Novena To The Holy Spirit - Day 3

Every day begin by praying the following prayer:

O Holy Spirit, divine Consoler!
I adore you as my True God.
I bless You, by uniting myself to the praises
You receive from the angels and saints.
I offer You my whole heart and I render You heartfelt thanks
for all the benefits You have bestowed
and do unceasingly bestow upon the world.
I beg You, Who are the Author of all supernatural gifts
And Who enriched with immense favors the soul
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God,
to visit me by Your grace and Your love,
and grant me the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena
(Mention your request)
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth, come into our hearts;
shed the brightness of Your light on all nations,
that they may be of one faith and pleasing to You.
Amen.

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

Third Day

Heavenly Father, You have called me to be a member of the Mystical Body

    of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and to be a temple of the Holy Spirit.

I ask You to give me:

Wisdom, that I may understand the follies of this world;

Understanding, that I may grasp more fully the meaning of my existence

        and the purpose of all things in the world;

Counsel, that I may always choose the proper way;

Fortitude, that I may remain faithful to You under the pressure of temptation;

Knowledge, that I may be inspired with the spirit of learning to penetrate

        more deeply into the truths You have revealed.

Piety, that I may revere You in all I do, think, or say;

Fear of the Lord, that should the motive of love fail me,

     I may quickly be awakened to the eternal consequences of my deeds.

Visit me by Your grace and Your love.

Amen.
