Intention: For the unity and well-being of our families and of St Jude Catholic Church, 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 wisdom is nothing less than loving, contemplative union with God, which makes it possible for us to see all things from a divine perspective. When it is understood in its full breadth, wisdom can rightly be called “communion,” since it is a share in divine life, a union made perfect in the truth of love. Embodying all the other gifts, as charity embraces all the other virtues, wisdom is the most perfect of the gifts. It strengthens our faith, fortifies hope, perfects charity, and promotes the practice of virtue in the highest degree. May the Holy Spirit raise up our hearts and minds to rest in God alone, so that we, his people, may be living signs of a new Pentecost in our time.
Leader: Let us pray. Heavenly Father, 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. May the Spirit permeate our thoughts, words and actions, so that bearing witness to the gift of salvation, your church may lead all people to Christ the way, the truth and the life, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
Leader: Mary, Seat of Wisdom,
Response: Pray for us.
