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.
