Prayer is conversation with God. It is like quietly opening a door and entering into the very presence of God. There, in the stillness we can listen to His voice for guidance and strength and petition Him with our cares. What we have to say matters not…just to be there, in His presence, is prayer.
The Prayer of the Order
O Eternal Father, you have sent us your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly Kingdom. Give your blessing to our Order wherever it may be throughout the world. Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life. Give us strength to overcome temptation and the grace to work to spread your Kingdom and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold. Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit that we may always remember it is your work we are called to do, that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight. We ask it all For His Sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Judges 3:10 Isaiah 11 Numbers 11:29
Help Us to Pray
Almighty God, help us to pray so faithfully that we may draw near to you and learn your will. Help us to serve so joyfully that others may be drawn to you. May your Holy Spirit guide us each day, that all we think, do, or say may be acceptable to you. We ask all for the sake of Him whose cross we wear, our Savior, Jesus Christ. AMEN.
Prayer for the Sevenfold Gift of the Holy Spirit
Almighty and eternal God. Who has vouchsafed to regenerate us by water and the Holy Spirit, and has given us forgiveness of all sins, send forth upon us the Sevenfold Gift of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of council and fortitude, the Spirit of Knowledge and Piety, and fill us with the Spirit of Holy Fear. AMEN.
