Prayers for invoking the Seven Graces of God

1. Prayer for Reverence: I invoke the grace of Reverence so that I might be one with all life and that my
life might serve the whole. I ask that this grace alert me to all that I do that keeps me separated from my
vital life force, so that I might make wiser choices. I ask that this grace alert me to when I am
compromising my intuitive guidance because I don't like what I am hearing. I ask for the courage to hear
what I must hear and to act on the guidance given to me.
2. Prayer for Piety: Piety is the grace of God in constant creativity, continually supplying my life and all life
with endless energetic and physical resources. If I do not see those resources, then it is because I am
looking through the lens of fear. I ask that the grace of Piety surround me and endlessly flow from my
second chakra, replenishing all that needs healing. Let this grace dismantle my fear of others, of not
having enough, and of hardship, and may those fears be replaced by this grace that illuminates the way I
see others. Let me be available to care for others and to be a vessel of kindness for human beings. This
is the grace of Piety in action.
3. Prayer for Understanding: I seek the grace of Understanding in all matters of my life so that I may
clearly see beyond the obvious and the personal. I ask to see the wisdom path and to understand the
deeper truths about my own nature. May I always use the graces of Understanding and common sense in
the service of others, and may I always be able to act on the guiding instincts that flow, even without my
needing to ask, from the grace of common sense.
4. Prayer for Fortitude: I ask for the grace of Fortitude to keep me steady in times of chaos and
uncertainty. It is easy to be seduced into fear, and once fear gets hold of my thinking, it is difficult to break
free of its influence. It is, as Teresa o fAvila described it, a reptile in my interior castle. I ask that this grace
keep me alert and surround me like a castle wall with a field of grace powerful enough to help me stay
centered, whether in the privacy of my own thoughts or in my interactions with others. Let fear never take
command of my thoughts, my heart, my actions, or my soul.
5. Prayer for Counsel: I ask to be shown the truth within myself that I might never harm others with my
illusions. I ask for the stamina of spirit to contain the transforming power of cosmic truths as I come to
understand them. Let truth be the guiding force in my life. Let the grace of truth continue to sustain me
and to heal me when I slip into illusion.
6. Prayer for Knowledge: I ask that the grace of Knowledge guide my thoughts and illuminate my
awareness of all that transpires within the vast resources of my mind. Grant me the inner light to enter
into a deeper knowledge of who I am and help me to listen to that still, small voice that is unlike any other,
that I might recognize truth when it is being revealed to me.
7. Prayer for Wisdom: I ask that the grace of Wisdom guide me on my path. Let me respond with wisdom
to the problems and challenges of my life, rather than with fear and hostility. Let me build a soul with the
stamina to absorb the grace of Wisdom so that I may serve the whole of humanity with the actions of my
life, acknowledging as I now do that all I do, think, say, and feel influences the well-being of all life.
