Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost

by

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who before ascending into Heaven didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thine Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy 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 Thy 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 Thee 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, 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 Thy true disciples, and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen.

Act of Oblation to the Holy Spirit

by

ON MY KNEES before the great cloud of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself body and soul to Thee, eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice and the might of Thy love.

Thou art the strength and light of my soul.

In Thee I live and move and have my being.

I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee.

Make me faithful in every thought, and grant that I may always listen to Thy voice, watch for Thy light, and follow Thy gracious inspirations.

I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee, and I ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness.

Holding the pierced feet of Jesus, looking at His five Wounds, trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee, adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee with the sin which Thou wilt not forgive.

Grant to me the grace, O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and of the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere, “Speak, Lord, for Thy servant hears.” Amen. 

 

(After a prayer by Cardinal Newman)

Litany of the Suffering Heart of Jesus

by

Sacred Heart of Jesus dying on the cross, save me.
Sacred Heart of my Creator, perfect me.
Sacred Heart of my Redeemer, answer for me.
Sacred Heart of of my Father, govern me.
Sacred Heart of my Judge, pardon me.
Sacred Heart of my Advocate, plead for me.
Sacred Heart of my Master, teach me.
Sacred Heart of my Pastor, guard me.
Sacred Heart of my Faithful Friend, repose in me.
Sacred Heart, wounded for love of me, receive me.
Sacred Heart, retreat of afflicted souls, comfort me.

Live, Jesus, in my heart, now and for all eternity.

Most sweet Jesus, who repulses none, but who does welcome even the greatest sinners, provided they repent and sincerely return to Thee, have mercy, particularly on those who invoke Thy holy name. Listen to the prayers of all who address Thee in spirit and truth, and grant that all the worshippers of Thy Sacred Heart may find, agreeably to Thy Divine promises, light, joy, strength, peace, protection, and holy love for time and eternity. Amen.


St Margaret Mary, intercede with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for me.
