The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The gift of Wisdom makes us know, love and savor eternal truths.

The gift of Understanding makes us love the mysteries of faith and penetrate them as far as human weakness permits.

The gift of Counsel leads us to conduct ourselves with prudence amidst the darkness and perils of this life and to always do the divine will.

The gift of Fortitude enables us to triumph over the temptations of the devil and the difficulties of virtue. It fills us with courage to face the world and boldly profess our Faith.

The gift of Science enables us to be convinced of our own nothingness; to see all things according to the Spirit of God; to despise the vanities of the world which alienate us from God and put our eternal salvation in danger.

The gift of Piety leads us to love recollection, prayer, contemplation and makes us serve God with joy.

The gift of Fear of God makes us flee with horror from anything that might displease God. It is the filial fear of the child who, out of love for his father, seeks to give him honor and delight.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
