Knowledge! The Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 5! May 19, 2026 The Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 5 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 5 of our Novena to the Holy Spirit!! Here is Our Lady’s most recent message to us which is perfectly meant for this novena: The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace “Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval) Our Lady knows what is most important for us! We need the Holy Spirit!!! Let us pray our Novena to the Holy Spirit: Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit Christ Jesus, before ascending into heaven, You promised to send the Holy Spirit to Your apostles and disciples. Grant that the same Spirit may perfect in our lives the work of Your grace and love. Grant us the Spirit of Fear of the Lord that we may be filled with a loving reverence toward You; The Spirit of Piety that we may find peace and fulfillment in the service of God while serving others; The Spirit of Fortitude that we may bear our cross with You and, with courage, overcome the obstacles that interfere with our salvation; The Spirit of Knowledge that we may know You and know ourselves and grow in holiness; The Spirit of Understanding to enlighten our minds with the light of Your truth; The Spirit of Counsel that we may choose the surest way of doing Your will, seeking first the Kingdom; The Spirit of Wisdom that we may aspire to the things that last forever; And teach us to be Your faithful disciples and animate us in every way with Your Spirit. Amen. Fifth Day (Tuesday, 7th week of Easter) Gifted to serve and build others up! Light immortal! Light Divine! Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill! Come, O Blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father. Father, through Your Spirit, You invite us to participate in the fullness of Creation. Help me to see that all gifts are from You and intended for your Glory. For there are many different gifts, but always the same Spirit, many ways of serving, but always the same Lord. Amen. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. We will pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary! Here is a message from Our Lady: January 2, 2011 “Dear children; Today I call you to unity in Jesus, my Son. My motherly heart prays that you may comprehend that you are God’s family. Through the spiritual freedom of will, which the Heavenly Father has given you, you are called to come to the knowledge of the truth, the good or the evil. May prayer and fasting open your hearts and help you to discover the Heavenly Father through my Son. In discovering the Father, your life will be directed to carrying out of God’s will and to the realization of God’s family, in the way that my Son desires. I will not leave you alone on this path. Thank you.” The Gift of Knowledge informs all the other gifts with the incredible truth of God’s love and his great design for creation. With this Knowledge, we can see clearly all the good that can be done around us and in us! Let us pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary! God bless us all! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
