Friday : The Gift of Counsel

 Friday : The Gift of Counsel

Meditation:

The Gift of Counsel does not spring from our human intelligence but from God. Even with all of our human knowledge and science and philosophy, Life is still a mystery. Many people have knowledge but make the wrong decisions and take the wrong path. The Holy Spirit through the Gift of Counsel guides and directs a person to choose rightly, most especially in the Ways of God.

Reflection:

How do I allow the Holy Spirit to guide me?

How have I walked my own path?

Do I follow the counsel of the world or of God?

V. Come, O Spirit of Counsel, make us docile

to your inspirations and guide us in the way of salvation.

Closing Prayer :

Mary, Mother of Jesus and our mother, teach me to be open and responsive to the hidden power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within me. Following your example, may I always listen to the voice of the Spirit speaking in my heart. As the Holy Spirit formed Christ in you, may He form Christ in me so that I may live by the Spirit and be led by the Spirit in all my actions.

V. Mary, Temple of God and Spouse of the Holy Spirit.

R. Pray for me.
