Act of Consecration to the Holy Ghost

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly
witnesses, I offer myself soul and body to Thee,
Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy
purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice, and the
might of Thy love. Thou art the Strength and Light of
my soul. In Thee I live and move and am. I desire
never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I
pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest
sin against Thee. Mercifully guard my every thought
and grant that I may always watch for Thy light and
listen to Thy voice and follow Thy gracious
inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee
and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my
weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and
looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His
Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and
stricken Heart, I implore Thee Adorable Spirit, helper
of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may
never sin against Thee. Give me grace O Holy Ghost,
Spirit of the Father and the Son, to say to Thee
always and everywhere, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant
heareth." Amen.

Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into
heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish
Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples,
deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may
perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love.
Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the
perishable things of this world and aspire only after
the things that are eternal, the Spirit of
Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of
Thy divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may
ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining
Heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my
cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage
all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit
of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and
grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit
of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and
amiable, the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with
a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any
way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the
sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all
things with Thy Spirit. Amen.
