Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 3
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we pray for the Gift of Piety. This gift helps us to love God and by extension to love others. We definitely need this gift today, when love is so weak in the world. Our Lady tells us:

"Dear children! May this time be
for you a time of prayer and silence. Rest your body and spirit, may
they be in God's love. Permit me, little children, to lead you, open
your hearts to the Holy Spirit so that all the good that is in you may
blossom and bear fruit one hundred fold. Begin and end the day with
prayer with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."
THIRD DAY (7th Sunday of Easter or transferred Ascension)
Thou, of all consolers best,
Visiting the troubled breast,
Dost refreshing peace bestow.
The Gift of Piety
The gift of Piety begets in our hearts a
filial affection for God as our most loving Father. It inspires us to
love and respect for His sake persons and things consecrated to Him, as
well as those who are vested with His authority, His Blessed Mother and
the Saints, the Church and its visible Head, our parents and superiors,
our country and its rulers. He who is filled with the gift of Piety
finds the practice of his religion, not a burdensome duty, but a
delightful service. Where there is love, there is no labor.
Prayer
Come, O Blessed Spirit of Piety, possess
my heart. Enkindle therein such a love for God, that I may find
satisfaction only in His service, and for His sake lovingly submit to
all legitimate authority. 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 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 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.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
