Holy Spirit, I ask for the gift of wisdom for a better understanding of you and your divine perfection.

I ask you for the gift of intelligence for a better understanding of the spirit of the mysteries of the holy faith.

Give me the gift of science, so that I know how to direct my life according to the principles of this faith.

Give me the gift of advice, so that in everything, I seek advice from you and always find it with you.

Give me the gift of strength so that no earthly fear or concern can separate me from you.

Give me the gift of piety so that I can always serve your divine majesty with filial love.

Give me the gift of the fear of God so that no fear or earthly motivation can separate me from you.

- Saint John Paul II
