Pentecost Thursday


All merciful Father, 
through your only-begotten Son 
born of the Virgin
by the power of the Holy Spirit, 
send down upon us,
for whom he died,
the Spirit of seven-fold grace:
WISDOM to enlighten us,
UNDERSTANDING to deepen our own,
PRUDENCE to enable us to follow Christ, 
STRENGTH to resist every evil,
KNOWLEDGE to choose what is good,
PIETY to make us resemble Christ, and
FEAR to live without fear in your presence.
Amen.
