7. INDIVIDUAL PETITIONS
BINDING PRAYER
In the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging and professing Your
sovereignty, we ask You, Lord Jesus, to bind all the powers and
forces in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground,
in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are Lord over the
entire universe, and we give You glory and praise for Your
creation. By Your name, Jesus Christ, may all demonic forces be
bound, that have come against us and our families. May all of us
here be sealed in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was
shed for us on the Cross.
Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession, with
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for us and for our families. Surround us
with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy. St. Michael and
our Guardian Angels come; defend us and our families in the
battle against all the evil ones that roam the earth. In the name of
Jesus Christ and through His Precious Blood, may all the powers
and forces of evil be forced to depart away from us, our homes,
and our lands. We thank you, Lord Jesus; for You are a faithful and
compassionate God. Amen. (PRAY ONE HAIL MARY)

Concluding prayers:
O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine
King and our admirable conductor; you who shine with excellence and
superhuman virtue, deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more
faithfully every day. Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of
Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises. Almighty and
Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the
salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael
Prince of Your Church; make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all
our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that
we may be conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the
merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

FIRST DAY: The Holy Spirit (Friday after Ascension Thursday)
LEADER:
Let us pray:
O God, who has taught the hearts of your faithful by the light of
the Holy Spirit; grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be
always truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolations. Through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
ALL: Amen.
8
SECOND DAY: Gift of Fear (Saturday, 6th Week of Easter)
LEADER:
The gift of Fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and
makes us dread nothing so much as to offend Him by sin. It
is a fear that arises, not from the thought of hell, but from
sentiments of reverence and filial submission to our heavenly
Father. It is the fear that is the beginning of wisdom,
detaching us from worldly pleasures that could in any way
separate us from God. "They who fear the Lord will prepare
their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."
Let us pray:
O Holy Spirit, thou father of the poor, come fill my poverty-
stricken soul out of the plenty of thy eternal riches. Warn me, I
beg thee, of every opportunity in my daily round of duty, to lay up
treasures where no thief approaches nor moth corrupts, that I may
enjoy them together with thee forever.
ALL: Amen.
9
THIRD DAY: Gift of Piety (Sunday, 7th Week of Easter)
LEADER:
The gift of Piety begets in our hearts a filial affection for God
as our most loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect,
for His sake, persons and things consecrated to Him, as well
as those who are vested with His authority; His Blessed
Mother and the Saints; the Church and its visible Head; our
parents and all our superiors, our country and its rulers. He
who is filled with the gift of Piety finds the practice of his
religion not a burdensome duty, but a delightful service.
Where there is love, there is no labor.
Let us pray:
O Divine Consoler, and of all Comforters the best, to Thee do we
come in trouble and distress. Do Thou, in the all-powerful name of
Jesus, our Redeemer, and out of love for Mary, our sorrowful
Mother and Thy chaste Spouse, come to our assistance and
comfort us in all our trials and tribulations.
ALL: Amen.
10
FOURTH DAY: Gift of Fortitude (Monday, 7th Week of Easter)
LEADER:
Let us pray:
O God, who gave the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, grant to thy
people the effect of their pious prayers, that on those to whom
Thou has given grace, Thou may also bestow peace. Through
Christ Our Lord.
ALL: Amen.
11
FIFTH DAY: Gift of Knowledge (Tuesday, 7th Week of Easter)
LEADER:
Let us pray:
May the Paraclete, who proceeds from thee, enlighten our minds,
we beseech thee, O Lord; and even as thy Son has promised, may
he lead us into all truth.
ALL: Amen.
12
SIXTH DAY: Gift of Understanding (Wednesday, 7th Week of
Easter)
LEADER:
If thou take thy grace away, Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turned to ill.
Let us pray:
Send down, we beseech thee, O Lord, the Holy Spirit in his might,
to the merciful purifying of our hearts and to our sure deliverance
from all danger. Who lives and reigns, one God, world without
end.
ALL: Amen.
LEADER:
Let us pray:
Burn up, O Lord, our reins and our hearts in the fire of the Holy
Spirit; that chaste of body and clean of heart, our service may be
well pleasing to thee. Who lives and reigns world without end.
ALL: Amen.
LEADER:
Bend the stubborn heart and will. Melt the frozen, warm the
chill. Guide the steps that go astray!
Let us pray:
Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, come into our hearts; give to all
peoples the brightness of thy light, that they may be well pleasing
to thee in unity of faith.
ALL: Amen.
Let us pray: Send down upon us, we beseech thee, O Lord, the
Holy Spirit, that inspired and encouraged by Him, we may comply
with the duties of our state in life, carry our daily crosses patiently,
and grow each day in Christian perfection. Grant us, we beseech
thee through the same Divine Spirit, the intentions of this novena,
or that which is most conducive to our eternal salvation and thy
glory.
ALL: Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER:
PRAYER FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who before ascending into heaven did promise
to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your
Apostles and Disciples, I beseech You to grant the same Holy Spirit
to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of Your grace and
Your love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the
perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that
are eternal; the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with
the light of Your divine truth; the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever
choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven; the Spirit
of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with You and that I may
overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation;
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and
grow perfect in the science of the Saints; the Spirit of Piety that I
may find the service of God sweet and amiable; and the Spirit of
Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and
may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord with
the sign of Your true disciples, and animate me in all things with
Your Spirit. Amen.
