Pentecost Novena to the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts
Day Nine – 19 May 2018
DAY NINE
Thou, on those who evermore
Thee confess and Thee adore
In Thy sevenfold gifts, descend.
Give them comfort when they die,
Give the life with Thee on high,
Give them joys which never end. Amen
THE FRUITS of the HOLY SPIRIT
The gifts of the Holy Spirit perfect the supernatural virtues, by enabling us to
practice them with greater docility to divine inspiration. As we grow in the
knowledge and love of God, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, our service becomes
more sincere and generous, the practice of virtue becomes more perfect. Such acts of
virtue leave the heart filled with joy and consolation and are known as Fruits of the
Holy Spirit. These Fruits in turn render the practice of virtue more attractive and
become a powerful incentive for still greater efforts, in the service of God, to serve
Whom is to reign.
Prayer
Come, O Divine Spirit, fill my heart with Your heavenly fruits, Your charity, joy,
peace, patience, benignity, goodness, faith, mildness and temperance, that I may
never weary of the service of God but by continued faithful submission, to Your
inspiration, may merit to be united eternally with You, in the love of the Father and
the Son. Amen.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory be to the Father (seven times)
