Sixth Day: The Gift of Counsel (Wednesday June 1st)
Intention: For the unity and well-being of St Jude Catholic Church and all our families, that we might do the will of God.
Please pause now to add your own intention.
Leader: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful,
Response: And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Leader: Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created,
Response: And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Leader: The gift of counsel applies our knowledge and our understanding to the many real situations of everyday life. Counsel elevates the virtue of prudence, so that we will choose the wisest course of action in a given situation, especially when we are perplexed as to the right choice to be made. Counsel endows us with a desire to act always in a way that promotes our sanctification and our salvation, in accordance with God’s holy will. We pray that the Holy Spirit will richly endow us with the ability to judge rightly the situations that challenge our faith, so that we may not waver along the path to holiness.
Leader: Let us pray. Heavenly Father, send the Spirit of Counsel upon us for the accomplishment of your holy will in our lives, in the Church, and in the world. Incline our hearts to your will, our minds to right judgment, and our actions to what is good, so that living by the Holy Spirit, we may truly be “salt and light” for others. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Leader: Mary, Mother of Good Counsel,
Response: Pray for us.
