DAY 4 - Holy Spirit Novena

FOURTH DAY
Thou in toil art comfort sweet;
Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.

MEDITATION
The Gift of Fortitude
By the gift of fortitude the soul is strengthened against natural fear,
and supported to the end in the performance of duty. Fortitude imparts
to the will an impulse and energy which move it to undertake without
hesitancy the most arduous tasks, to face dangers, to trample under foot
human respect, and to endure without complaint the slow martyrdom of
even lifelong tribulation. "He that shall persevere unto the end, he
shall be saved."

PRAYER
Come, 0 Blessed Spirit of Fortitude, uphold my soul in time of trouble
and adversity, sustain my efforts after holiness, strengthen my
weakness, give me courage against the assaults of my enemies, that I may
never be overcome and separated from Thee, my God and greatest Good.
Amen.

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