PRAYER FOR THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit, Sanctifier blest,

deign to grant us:

the gift of fear,

which makes us shun all sin;

the gift of piety,

which makes us respect and love

the Three Divine Persons,

our parents and children,

as is proper for true children of God;

the gift of knowledge,

which makes us judge eternal and temporal things

as God judges them;

the gift of fortitude,

which makes us bear all hardships

for the love and greater glory of God;

the gift of counsel,

which makes us be guided, and guide others,

in the Way of Truth, of Christlike Life;

the gift of understanding,

which makes us penetrate deeply into

what You, Holy Spirit, have deigned to reveal;

the gift of wisdom,

which makes us relish all that is right

and is in line with Eternal Wisdom.

This we ask You to grant us,

Gift of God Most High,

who live in perfect unity of Love

with the Father and the Son.

Amen.

FATIMA APPARITION - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS   (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus.  And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright.  HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
