Dear Family of Mary!
Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 2
Today we pray for the Gift of Fear of the Lord which is a foundational gift. Fear of the Lord leads us to great respect for God the Creator, and a desire to thank and praise Him forever for His great love. This is a wonderful gift that puts so many things right in our hearts. Our Lady tells us to decide for God the Creator in this message:

"Dear children! Today I call you,
through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of
the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again,
I call you to decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and
change you. May your heart be prepared to listen to, and live,
everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each of you. Little
children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and
salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
SECOND DAY (Saturday of 6th Week of Easter)
Come, Father of the poor. Come, treasures which endure;
Come, Light of all that live!
Come, Light of all that live!
The Gift of FearThe
Gift of Fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us
dread nothing so much as to offend Him by sin. It is a fear that arises,
not from the thought of hell, but from sentiments of reverence and
filial submission to our heavenly Father. It is the fear that is the
beginning of wisdom, detaching us from worldly pleasures that could in
any way separate us from God. "They that fear the Lord will prepare
their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."
Prayer
Come, O blessed Spirit of Holy Fear,
penetrate my inmost heart, that I may set you, my Lord and God, before
my face forever, help me to shun all things that can offend You, and
make me worthy to appear before the pure eyes of Your Divine Majesty in
heaven, where You live and reign in the unity of the ever Blessed
Trinity, God world without end. Amen.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE. Glory be to the Father SEVEN TIMES.
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
To be recited daily during the Novena
On my knees I before the great
multitude of heavenly witnesses I offer myself, soul and body to You,
Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the
unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are
the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I
desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with
all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully
guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Your light,
and listen to Your voice, and follow Your gracious inspirations. I
cling to You and give myself to You and ask You, by Your compassion to
watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and
looking at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and
adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore You, Adorable
Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, to keep me in Your grace that I may
never sin against You. Give me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father
and the Son to say to You always and everywhere, "Speak Lord for Your
servant is listening." Amen.
PRAYER FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
To be recited daily during the Novena
O 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 that
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 on 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.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
