24 May 2020 - Novena to the Holy Spirit - Day 3 - the fruit of peace

At St Jude parish, we are praying the novena for Pentecost.  During this novena, I would like to also pray for particular gifts of the Holy Spirit.  I pray that the Holy Spirit endow us with these gifts.

Holy Spirit, by your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By your grace, miracles are performed in Jesus’ name. By your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar’s heart for your gift of peace within us. The Saints were tempted, attacked and accused by the devil who is the destroyer of peace.  Through our temptations and through the times we commit sins, help us as our advocate to regain Christ's peace, a peace that is very different than the peace of our temporal world. 

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. 

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, through Christ Our Lord,
