Day 7 - Holy Spirit Novena

Heal our wounds - our strength renew;
On our dryness pour Thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away!

MEDITATION
The Gift of Counsel
The gift of Counsel endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling
it to judge promptly and rightly what must be done, especially in
difficult circumstances. Counsel applies the principles furnished by
Knowledge and Understanding to the innumerable concrete cases that
confront us in the course of our daily duty as parents, teachers, public
servants, and Christian citizens. Counsel is supernatural common sense,
a priceless treasure in the quest of salvation. "Above all these
things, pray to the Most High, the He may direct thy way in truth."

PRAYER
Come, 0 Spirit of Counsel, help and guide me in all my ways, that I may
always do Thy holy will. Incline my heart to that which is good; turn
it away from all that is evil, and direct me by the straight path of Thy
commandments to that goal of eternal life for which I long. Amen.

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