2014 Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 8
Dear
Family of Mary!
Self-control is a gift that
comes through fasting and prayer. Through these two things we train our hearts
to depend totally on God and to gain strength from Him to do the good.
"Dear children! Today I
call you all to pray that God's plans for us may be realized and also everything
that God desires through you! Help others to be converted, especially those who
are coming to Medjugorje. Dear children, do not allow satan to get control of
your hearts, so you would be an image of satan and not of me. I call you to pray
for how you might be witnesses of my presence. Without you, God cannot bring to
reality that which He desires. God has given a free will to everyone, and it's
in your control. Thank you for having responded to my call."

If God is in control of our
hearts, we will have "self" control!!!
Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 8
Self-Control
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit.
Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our
Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by Your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us
all. By Your grace, miracles are performed in Jesus' name. By Your love, we are
protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar's heart for Your
gift of Self-Control within us.
Your Martyrs had the overwhelming self-control to go joyfully to a painful
death without shrinking from the opportunity to join You in heaven. Give us this
self-control to have command over our emotions and desires that we may serve You
more fully.
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 by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the
faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy
His consolations, through Christ Our Lord,
Amen.
