St. Justin
Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 7
Dear Family of Mary!
Counsel helps us to know what to do in our concrete situations, how to serve, how to give, how to witness. We need to "pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that in the spirit of love, every day and in each situation, [we] may be closer to [our] fellow man, and that in wisdom of love [we] may overcome every difficulty!!"
SEVENTH DAY (Thursday, 7th Week of Easter)
St. Justin
Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 7
Dear Family of Mary!
May 25, 2000 "Dear children! I rejoice with you and in this time of grace I call you to spiritual renewal. Pray, little children, that the Holy Spirit may come to dwell in you in fullness, so that you may be able to witness in joy to all those who are far from faith. Especially, little children, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that in the spirit of love, every day and in each situation, you may be closer to your fellow-man; and that in wisdom and love you may overcome every difficulty. I am with you and I intercede for each of you before Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call."

SEVENTH DAY (Thursday, 7th Week of Easter)
Heal our wounds--our strength renews;
On our dryness pour Thy dew,
Wash the stains of guilt away.
The Gift of Counsel
The gift of Counsel endows the soul with
supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what
must be done, especially in difficult circumstances. Counsel applies the
principles furnished by Knowledge and Understanding to the innumerable
concrete cases that confront us in the course of our daily duty as
parents, teachers, public servants, and Christian citizens. Counsel is
supernatural common sense, a priceless treasure in the quest of
salvation. "Above all these things, pray to the Most High, that He may
direct thy way in truth."
Prayer
Come, O Spirit of Counsel, help and guide
me in all my ways, that I may always do Thy holy will. Incline my heart
to that which is good; turn it away from all that is evil, and direct
me by the straight path of Thy commandments to that goal of eternal life
for which I long.
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!
