Novena to the Holy Spirit: Day 8

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Holy Spirit, Divine Consoler!
I give you praise with the angels and the saints.
I offer you my whole heart, and give you thanks for all you have given me.
You shower your gifts on all the faithful,
I ask you to visit (me/candidate’s name) with your grace and your love
as (I/name of candidate) prepare(s) to be sealed with your power at Confirmation.

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

O Holy Spirit, life and light of the Church, give us thoughts higher than our own thoughts, and prayers better than our own prayers, and powers beyond our own powers, that we may love and live, imitating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May the gifts of wonder and awe enable us to reject sin, and may the Spirit of the Lord live in us as His temple.

Come, O Holy Spirit,

fill the hearts of your faithful

and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Practice: : Keep God in mind as you make decisions throughout the day.
