SEVENTH DAY
Heal our wounds--our strength renews; On
our dryness pour Thy dew, Wash the stains of
guilt away.
The Gift of Counsel
The gift of Counsel endows the soul with
supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge
promptly and rightly what must done,
especially in difficult circumstances. Counsel
applies the principles furnished by Knowledge
and Understanding to the innumerable
concrete cases that confront us in the course of
our daily duty as parents, teachers, public
servants, and Christian citizens. Counsel is
supernatural common sense, a priceless
treasure in the quest of salvation. "Above all
these things, pray to the Most High, that He
may direct thy way in truth."
Prayer
Come, O Spirit of Counsel, help and guide me
in all my ways, that I may always do Thy holy
will. Incline my heart to that which is good;
turn it away from all that is evil, and direct me
by the straight path of Thy commandments to
that goal of eternal life for which I long.
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE. Glory be to
the Father SEVEN TIMES.
