Heal our wounds--our strength renews; On our dryness pour thy dew, wash the stains of guilt away
The Gift of Counsel
The Gift of Counsel
The gift of counsel endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what must done, especially in difficult circumstances. Counsel applies the principles furnished by knowledge and understanding to the innumerable concrete cases that confront us in the course of our daily duty as parents, teachers, public servants, and Christian citizens. Counsel is supernatural common sense, a priceless treasure in the quest of salvation. "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Prayer
Come, o spirit of counsel, help and guide me in all my ways, that I may always do your holy will. Incline my heart to that which is good; turn it away from all that is evil, and direct me by the straight path of your commandments to that goal of eternal life for which I long.
Our Father and Hail Mary (once).
Glory be to the Father (seven times).

Giovanni Gabrieli, sung by the Currende Vocal Ensemble
Gabrieli was an Italian composer and organist. He was one of the most influential musicians of his time, and represents the culmination of the style of the Venetian School, at the time of the shift from Renaissance to Baroque idioms. This musical setting, first published in 1576, uses the text from the Magnificat antiphon for Second Vespers of Pentecost.
Hodie completi sunt dies Pentecostes, alleluia:
hodie Spiritus Sanctus in igne discipulis apparuit,
et tribuit eis charismatum dona:
misit eos in universum mundum prædicare, et testificari:
Qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit, alleluia.
Today the days of Pentecost are fulfilled, alleluia:
Today the Holy Spirit appeared in fire to the disciples,
and gave unto them the gift of grace:
He hath sent them into all the world to foretell and bear witness:
that whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved, alleluia.
