A prayer to Receive the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom - that I may not be attached to the perishable things of this world, but 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.
The Spirit of Fear of the Lord - that I may be filled with a loving reverence toward God and may avoid anything that may displease Him.
