Novena Day 2 - Gift of Wisdom

Gift of Wisdom:

“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17)

Come Holy Spirit:

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

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 will renew the face of the earth.

Let Us Pray:

Holy Spirit grant the American people and myself the gift of wisdom to help us choose right from wrong, uphold the truth, and seek the common good for all. May their choice for president be based on the commandments of Jesus.

Put your holy light upon the propositions of each candidate and help the Americans to choose as Jesus would.

"Faith and love are like the blind man's guides. They will lead you along a path unknown to you, to the place where God is hidden." (St. John of the Cross)

Prayer for Peace, by St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone. Col 4:6
