Sacrament of Confirmation...February 9





Gifts of the Holy Spirit
"The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,
knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord." (CCC 1831)

"The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity." (CCC 1832)

  1. Holy Spirit, be with me today.
    Be my teacher, my guide, my counselor, my friend.
    Fill me with your gifts, especially the gifts of
    wisdom, discernment, knowledge, understanding, compassion,
    love, and awe in God's presence.
    In all that I think, say, and do, let it be in accordance
    with your most holy and perfect will.
    I ask this in Jesus' name.
    AMEN.
