Novena to the Holy Spirit starts tomorrow (Friday) and will end on the eve of Pentecost. A novena is simply a nine-day series of prayers, and this one focuses on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit:

  1. Wisdom: Desire for the things of God, and to direct our whole life and all our actions to His honor and glory

  2. Understanding: Enable us to know more clearly the mysteries of faith

  3. Counsel: Warn us of the deceits of the devil, and of the dangers to salvation

  4. Fortitude: Strengthen us to do the will of God in all things

  5. Knowledge: Enable us to discover the will of God in all things

  6. Piety: Love God as a Father, and obey Him because we love Him

  7. Fear of the Lord: Have a dread of sin and fear of offending God

I won't be posting the daily prayers here, but here's a printable version of the entire novena. I can't recommend it highly enough.
