Prayer for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, divine Consoler, I adore You as my true God, with God the Father and God the Son. I adore You and unite myself to the adoration You receive from the angels and saints.

I give You my heart and I offer my ardent thanksgiving for all the grace which You never cease to bestow on me.

O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with such immense favours, I beg You to visit me with Your grace and Your love and to grant me the gift of holy fear, so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg pardon.

Grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You for the future with increased fervour, follow with more promptness Your holy inspirations, and observe your divine precepts with greater fidelity.

Grant me the gift of knowledge, so that I may know the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy teaching, may walk, without deviation, in the path of eternal salvation.

Grant me the gift of fortitude, so that I may overcome courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the dangers of this world which threaten the salvation of my soul.

Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I may choose what is more conducive to my spiritual advancement and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.

Grant me the gift of understanding, so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation of heavenly things, detach my thoughts and affections from the vain things of this miserable world.

Grant me the gift of wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions, referring them to God as my last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life, I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next.

Lord Jesus Christ

Incarnate Son of God the Father

Thou who hast chosen to enter into human history

by being carried in the womb of Thy Blessed Mother Mary

grant, I beseech Thee

that any demons that may have been introduced into my generational line by any one of my ancestors

may be blocked from passing to the subsequent generations.

I ask Thee that if the evil spirit entered the generational line by the sin of one or more of my ancestors

that Thou wouldst pardon the temporal punishment due to their sin

and free us from the demon's involvement in our lives.

Blessed Virgin

we ask thee to offer the Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity

of thy Son, to God the Father

in reparation for the sins of those ancestors who may have introduced any evil spirits into my generational line

as well as any subsequent sins that may have resulted from the evil spirits affecting those of the generational line.

If any evil spirit has been introduced into my generational line

as a result of a curse or malefice done by someone outside my family

I ask thee to give me the grace to forgive them wholeheartedly

and I ask Thee, Jesus,

to break the curse or malefice, if it is still in place.

God the Father,

I forgive them for any of the effects of their sin that they may have committed against my family line and for any damage it may have caused

Jesus,

I ask Thee to forgive me of any sins that may be the result of any generational spirits in my family

and I ask Thee to block any power the evil spirits may have gained in my generational line as a result of my own sin.

Heal any damage in the lives of the members of my family as a result of the generational spirit.

I bind and completely and utterly reject with the full force of my will

any sin or spiritual defect of mine as well as any temptation, allurements or power that any generational spirit may have over me

as a result of my sin or the sin of any other person.

I do this in the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary

and in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
