Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
O Holy Spirit, Beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen and console me.
Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it.
I promise to submit to everything that You ask of me
and to accept all that You allow to happen to me.
Just show me what is Your will, O Holy Spirit.
(by Cardinal Mercier)

Day 4: Ask the Holy Spirit for an increase of the Gift of Knowledge.

The three Theological Virtues of faith, hope and charity as well as the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given in Baptism for personal sanctification; to make you holy. Holiness means to grow in charity by serving others with authentic love. Charity is one of the theological virtues by which you love God above all things for His own sake, and your neighbor as yourself for the love of God. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens in you the Virtues and the Gifts so that you can be a faithful witness of Jesus Christ by living your faith “out loud”. (See CCC 1303 for further effects of the Sacrament of Confirmation)

• The seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit aid you in making decisions in conformity with God’s will, which lead to a life of interior joy and peace.
• Each person needs to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• You live in the age of the Holy Spirit. You know this to be true because Jesus ascended into Heaven and then the Father and the Son sent God the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you into all truth. Jesus said, “I tell you the sober truth: It is much better for you that I go. If I do not go, the Paraclete will never come to you, whereas if I go, I will send Him to you.” (John 16:7) “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth.” (John 16:13)
• The Holy Spirit is the Soul of the Mystical Body of Christ – the Catholic Church. The Church would have come to an end without the Holy Spirit. Supernatural power came and continues to come to you from the Holy Spirit. The Book of Acts is referred to as the Gospel of the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit was active in the early Church, as well as today.
• Cardinal Mercier said the following when teaching about the importance about and praying this Prayer to the Holy Spirit: I am going to reveal to you the secret of sanctity and happiness. Every day for five minutes control your imagination and close your eyes to all the noises of the world in order to enter into yourself. Then, in the sanctuary of your baptized soul (which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) speak to that Divine Spirit, saying to Him the Prayer to the Holy Spirit: “O Holy Spirit, Beloved of my soul…
• If you do this, your life will flow along happily, serenely, and full of consolation, even in the midst of trials. Grace will be proportioned to the trial, giving you the strength to carry it out and you will arrive at the Gate of Paradise, laden with merit. This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity.
