| FIFTH DAY THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE The gift of Knowledge enables the soul to evaluate created things at their true worth -- in relation to God. Knowledge unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness, and points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of God. It shows us the loving care of God even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in every circumstance of life. Guided by its light, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of God beyond all else. "Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it." |
| Light immortal! Light Divine! Visit thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill. Prayer Come, O blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father, show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for Thy glory and my own salvation, looking ever beyond them to Thee, and Thy eternal rewards. Amen Our Father & Hail Mary (ONCE) Glory be ....(Seven times) Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit Prayer for the Seven Gifts |
