Novena of the Holy Spirit – Day 6: Victorious Power
Join in praying the Novena of the Holy Spirit to seek His gifts and fruits.
Today's Focus: Victorious Power
On this sixth day, we focus on the Holy Spirit as the spirit's fullness and power by which the Lamb releases the seal of God's eternal decree. Driven by Him, the messengers of judgment ride through the world.
Prayer for Day 6
Are you the one who created the unclouded mirror
Next to the Almighty's throne,
Like a crystal sea,
In which Divinity lovingly looks at itself?
You bend over the fairest work of your creation,
And radiantly your own gaze
Is illumined in return.
And of all creatures the pure beauty
Is joined in one in the dear form
Of the Virgin, your immaculate bride:
Holy Spirit Creator of all!
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Reflection
The Holy Spirit's victorious power reminds us that He is the force that separates the kingdom of light from the kingdom of night. Through His power, heaven becomes new and new the earth.
As we reflect on this aspect of the Holy Spirit's nature and work, let us ask ourselves how we can apply these lessons to our own lives and grow in holiness.
May the Holy Spirit's intercession help us to overcome our weaknesses and to grow stronger in our faith and love for God and neighbor.
