DAY 3 - Holy Spirit Novena

THIRD DAY
Thou, of all consolers best,
Visiting the troubled breast,
Dost refreshing peace bestow.

MEDITATION
The Gift of Piety
The gift of piety begets in our hearts a filial affection for God as our
most loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect for His sake,
persons and things consecrated to Him, as well as those who are vested
with His authority. His Blessed Mother and the Saints, the Church and
its visible Head, our parents and superiors, our country and its rulers.
He who is filled with the gift of Piety finds the practice of his
religion, not a burdensome duty, but a delightful service. Where there
is love, there is no labor.

PRAYER
Come, 0 Blessed Spirit of Piety, possess my heart. Enkindle therein
such a love for God, that I may find satisfaction only in His service,
and for His sake lovingly submit to all legitimate authority. Amen.

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