我們要求聖神七恩:上智、聪敏、超見、剛毅、明達、孝愛和敬畏。
如同宗徒圍繞着聖母,從耶穌升天節日(星期四)開始,我們每天祈求直
至五旬節主日,以便讓聖神在我們生活內奔放!
祈求聖神降臨
(可任選一個禱文,在此介紹瑪德羅賓所寫的禱文)
上主,請派遣祢的神,這樣一切將被創造;祢將使大地的容貌煥然一
新。上主,請再重複那第一個五旬節。耶穌,請賜予祢心愛的司鐸們明
辨神靈的恩寵,使他們充滿神恩,加強他們的愛心,使他們全都成為人
間熱誠的宗徒和真正的聖人。
天主聖神,愛的天主,請如猛風吹到我們的主教座堂、我們的聖堂、
我們的祈禱室、我們的會所;吹到那最堂皇的住宅,也吹到那最簡陋的
棲身處。願大地充滿祢的光明、祢的慰藉及祢的愛情。
請來,愛情的神,帶給世界祢新鮮的聖潔氣息。以祢恩寵的光芒照耀
每個人,把他們帶到祢輝煌的光榮之中。請來安慰那些處於現實苦惱重
壓下的人,光照那些對未來沒有信心的人,堅定那些在真理道路上猶疑
不前的人。
光明的神,請驅散大地的黑暗,以祢神秘的光芒穿透層層雲霧,引導迷
途的羔羊回到天國的羊棧。讓人類看到祢的容顏,使這一天是黎明的預兆
。祢是加爾瓦略山上基督犧牲的至聖成果,基督承諾的最高保證,請用
祢豐富寶貴的恩寵充滿每一個人的心。
至上聖神,
聖愛之火,
祢是超越一切圓滿的快樂、
驅除一切黑暗的光明、
一切頌歌的靈感。
真理之神,賜予靈魂追求聖善的渴望,引導他們進入祢無限美好的隱秘
之所。願他們根據聖言的許諾,進入至聖奧秘的王國;願他們的生命完全
更新,徹底地洗心革面,在基督內得到完全的聖化,藉祢本身至豐富的
神恩獲得無窮的力量。祢是我們痛苦中的至聖安慰,獨修時的珍貴魅力,
我們喜樂的動力,一切靈修生活的神聖根苗,請把祢的大能伸展到整個宇
宙,使世界充滿祢的完美。
請把我們人的本質吸收到祢奧秘的至一中,把天父的承諾銘刻在每一
顆心中,掃除我們眉尖的所有陰影,把耶穌醉人的聖爵放在每人的唇邊
,這樣,不久就有一群豐收的聖人,在光明中冉冉升起。

Novena To The Seven Gifts of The Holy
Spirit
Act of Consecration To The Holy Spirit
On my knees before
the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself,
soul and body to
You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity,
the unerring
keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are the
Strength and Light
of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire never to
grieve You by
unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest
sin against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always
watch for Your light, and listen to Your voice, and follow Your
gracious
inspirations. I cling to You and give myself to You and ask You, by Your
compassion to
watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of
Jesus and looking
at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and
adoring His opened
Side and stricken Heart, I implore You, Adorable Spirit,
Helper of my
infirmity, to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give me
grace, O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You
always and
everywhere, "Speak Lord for Your servant heareth." Amen.
Prayer for The Seven Gifts of The Holy
Spirit
O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into heaven
did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your
Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect
in my soul, the work of Your grace and Your love.
Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise
the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are
eternal,
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my
mind with the light of Your divine truth, the
Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and
gaining heaven,
the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my
cross with You and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that
oppose my salvation,
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect
in the science of the Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable,
and
the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards
God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the
sign of Your true disciples and animate me in all things with Your Spirit. Amen.
