DAY 2 - Holy Spirit Novena

SECOND DAY
Come, Father of the poor!
Come, treasures which endure!
Come, Light of all that live!

MEDITATION
The Gift of Fear
The gift of fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us
dread nothing so much as to offend Him by sin. It is a fear that
arises, not from the thought of hell, but from sentiments of reverence
and filial submission to our heavenly Father. It is the fear that is
the beginning of wisdom, detaching us from worldly pleasures that could
in any way separate us from God. "They that fear the Lord will prepare
their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."

PRAYER
Come, 0 blessed Spirit of Holy Fear, penetrate my inmost heart, that I
may set You, my Lord and God, before my face forever; help me to shun
all things that can offend you, and make me worthy to appear before the
pure eyes of your Divine Majesty in heaven, where you live and reign in
the unity of the ever Blessed Trinity, God, world without end. Amen

Our Father and Hail Mary once
Glory be to the Father seven times.
