Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 5

Come, Spirit of Knowledge


Come, Holy Spirit,
and help me to judge rightly the truths of faith.
Guide my intellect to make correct judgments
regarding earthly things
and how they are related to eternal life and Christian perfection.
Help me to realize the emptiness of created things
so that they do not become roadblocks my to union with God
yet help me to see through beauty of created things,
the Maker who created them
Give me a deep sense of faith so that
I may see the state of my soul,
experience detachment from material things,
and experience a sincere repentance
for the misuse of material things
or for when I have allowed them
to become obstacles to my union with God.
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
