Pentecost Novena to the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts
Day Six – 16 May 2018
DAY SIX
If Thou take Thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turned to ill.
THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING
Understanding, as a gift of the Holy Ghost, helps us to grasp the meaning of the
truths of our holy religion. By faith we know them but by Understanding, we learn to
appreciate and relish them. It enables us to penetrate, the inner meaning of revealed
truths and through them, to be quickened to newness of life. Our faith ceases to be
sterile and inactive but inspires a mode of life, that bears eloquent testimony, to
the faith that is in us, we begin to “walk worthy of God in all things pleasing, and
increasing in the knowledge of God.”
Prayer
Come, O Spirit of Understanding and enlighten our minds, that we may know and
believe all the mysteries of salvation and may merit at last, to see the eternal
light of Thy Light and in the light of glory, to have a clear vision of Thee and the
Father and the Son. Amen.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory be to the Father (seven times)
