I found a precious "gem" while clearing mum's things....

Just this week on Tuesday, I was at home clearing off some things mum left behind..you see although she has passed on closed to about 5 months + there are still quite a lot of her stuff to clear..so while clearing I stumble upon this little prayer book which this morning I decide to take it along with me so that I can have close look at it while in the train...It is really an indeed a wonderful little prayer book left behind by mum...in it there were so many wonderful prayers and partiularly this one..which is the prayer to the Holy Spirit:
(To tell you the truth as a Catholic, I love standard prayers as I am lousy at composing prayers...so this little prayer book comes in handy...)

PRAYER TO HOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit, you are our source of strength and holiness, come into our hearts and make them your own.
We thank you for your seven gifts: joy, love, understanding, knowledge, fortitude, fear of the Lord and Piety.
Enlighten our minds and our hearts to understand the word of God, that we may always do his will with joy and faithfulness.
Fill us your truth in our search for the right way to build the kingdom of God, and inflame our hearts with love so that we may love all people as our brothers and sisters in peace, joy, justice and truth.
Amen.
...and here is my mother's little prayer book and now a precious gem for me

Have a nice day!
