Prayer For The Fruits Of The Spirit

O Bounteous Spirit, I ask you to bring forth in my life your fruits: the fruit of love, so I may love you above all things and all others for your sake; the fruit of joy, that I may find my delight in your service; the fruit of peace, that I may be pardoned through your mercy and may rest in your love; the fruit of longsuffering so that I may bear, with patience, all afflictions; the fruit of gentleness, that I may subdue all anger and take calmly and sweetly all trials and provocations; the fruit of meekness, that I may forgive freely all who have hurt me and endure with patience all burdens that are laid upon me; the fruit of temperance that I may restrain all my desires and bring them into the subjection of your holy will. 

Amen.
