第九天:向瑪利亞祈求,聖神親愛的淨配
聖母瑪利亞,聖神的可敬淨配,我靈可愛的母親,您的一生充滿了聖
神之恩賜,並忠誠與愛慕地使這些恩賜結出果實。請您可憐您的孩子。
我羞愧地承認,因我的罪,我多次使聖神傷心,並且失去祂所賜我的神
恩。我是您聖子受苦與死亡的緣由。我使您慈母心充滿了苦澀。
仁慈之母,我全心悔改,請忘記我带給您的痛苦,但為我求得寬恕。我決定毫無保留地把自己獻給天主。
聖母瑪利亞,因您的渴望及熱切的祈禱,您為宗徒們求得聖神,也請
您為我求得聖神。因您的七苦,為我求得聖神七恩,以及忠信保持此恩
賜的聖寵。
請為我求得敬畏之恩,使我一生哭我所犯的罪,避免一切令天主不樂的事。
請為我求得孝愛之恩,使我對天父存有一顆赤子依賴之心。
請為我求得聪敏之恩,使我知道利用造物到達天主。
請為我求得剛毅之恩,使我能戰勝一切魔鬼的誘惑,完成我的使命並慷慨地受苦。
請為我求得超見之恩,使我能為達到人生最終的目的作出最好的選擇,並在困難的情況中,辨識出使天主高興的事。
請為我求得明達之恩,使我能發現真理的光輝以及天上的奧秘。
請為我求得上智之恩,使我能認識真正的幸福,對一切事有正確的判斷,在一切事上
體驗天主,看到祂的旨意。
聖母瑪利亞,愿我再也不失去這些寶貴的恩賜;愿我學習您的榜樣,
至死忠信地保存這些恩賜,並使它接出果實。最後,可愛的母親,愿我
一生由聖神引導,死後由祂引導到天堂,以便和您一起永遠地愛慕讚美
可敬的天主聖三。一切崇敬與光榮都屬于祂。

Ninth day (Saturday, Vigil of Pentecost)
On those who
evermore confess you and Adore you, in Your sevenfold gifts,
Descend; Give Them
Comfort when they die; Give them Life with You 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 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 in 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 and
Hail Mary ONCE; Glory be to the Father SEVEN TIMES;
Act of Consecration to
the Holy Spirit; Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.)
