Peace be with you!
Each day of this novena, we will pray for one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
The fruits of the Spirit are, “perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church)
Today’s prayers are for Joy.
Joy is one of those signs that shows the world that there is something different about followers of Christ. So, let us pray today for a greater Joy that will shine through to the rest of the world!
Here are the prayers for today:
_Day 2 – Novena to the Holy Spirit_
*Joy*
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by Your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By Your grace, miracles are performed in Jesus’ name. By Your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar’s heart for Your gift of Joy within us.
All of the Saints are marked with an uncompromisable Joy in times of trial, difficulty and pain. Give us, Oh Holy Spirit, the Joy that surpasses all understanding that we may live as a witness to Your love and fidelity!
Amen.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, through Christ Our Lord,
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
