NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT (Day 9: The Fruits of the Holy Spirit)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;

against such things there is no law.”

- Galatians 5:22–23

The 𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 is the visible sign of God's presence within us, shaping our thoughts, actions, and relationships. As we grow closer to Christ, the Spirit nurtures in us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control — virtues that reflect God’s nature and lead us to live in harmony with others. These fruits are signs of a life surrendered to the Spirit, guiding us to become true witnesses of God’s love in the world.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿,

grant us the grace to nurture

the fruits of the Holy Spirit within us,

that our lives may reflect Your love,

and bear witness to Your divine presence

in all we do.
