The Indulgenced Pentecost Novena to the Holy Ghost for the Seven Gifts
SIXTH DAY
Foreword and Indulgences CLICK HERE : Foreword
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,
which bears eloquent testimony, to the faith which is in us, we begin to:
“walk worthily of God in all things,
pleasing Him 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 and Hail Mary – ONCE.
Glory be to the Father – SEVEN TIMES.
ACT of CONSECRATION to the HOLY GHOST
To be prayed each day of the Novena
