The Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 3
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is Day 3 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.
Third Day (Sunday, 7th Week of Easter)
The Soul of Christ’s Body, The Church
Thou, of all consolers, best,
visiting the troubled breast
dost refreshing peace bestow.
Come, O Blessed Spirit of Piety,
possess my heart.
God, our Father,
may I, through the grace of your Spirit,
be forever filled with filial affection for you.
Grant that I may be inspired
to love and respect all members of your family
as brothers and sisters of Jesus,
who, together with him, call you Abba, Father. Amen.
Here is a message from Our Lady:
September 2, 2008
“Dear children,
Today, with my motherly heart,
I call you gathered around me
to love your neighbor.
My children, stop.
Look in the eyes of your brother
and see Jesus, my Son.
If you see joy, rejoice with him.
If there is pain in the eyes of your brother,
with your tenderness and goodness,
cast it away,
because without love you are lost.
Only love is effective;
it works miracles.
Love will give you unity in my Son
and the victory of my heart.
Therefore, my children, love.”
Let us pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary!
God bless us all!
