In order to prepare myself for the Sacrament of Confirmation this upcoming Sunday, I've been praying this Confirmation Preparation Prayer: Novena Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
- Come, Spirit of Wisdom, dispose our hearts to know and value the things of heaven above the things of the earth and show us the way to salvation. Come, Spirit of Understanding, enlighten our minds to the mysteries of salvation and grant that we may come to a fuller knowledge of you. Come, Spirit of Counsel, guide us in the way of your commandments. Incline us to do good. Keep us from evil and bring us to everlasting life. Come Spirit of Courage, strengthen us in every trail and help us in our struggle against evil. Never let us be parted from you. Come, Spirit of Knowledge, help us to see beyond the passing joys of this world to the glories you have prepared for us. Come, Spirit of Piety, stir up our hearts to true holiness and love of you. May we always seek you in spirit and in truth. Come Spirit of the Fear of the Lord, teach us ever to set the Lord before us and to avoid whatever is displeasing to you. Bring us all one day to the fullness of your love. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.





Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
