O Holy Spirit, most merciful Comforter:
you proceed from the Father
in a manner beyond our understanding.
Come and take up your abode in my heart.
Purify and cleanse me from all sin, and sanctify my soul.
Cleanse it from every impurity,
water its dryness, melt its coldness,
and save it from its sinful ways.
Make me truly humble and resigned,
that I may be pleasing to you,
and that you might abide with me forever.
Most blessed Light, most amiable Light, enlighten me.
O rapturous joy of paradise, fount of purest delight,
my God, give yourself to me and kindle in my innermost soul
the fire of your love.
My Lord, instruct, direct, and defend me in all things.
Give me strength against all immoderate fears
and against despondency.
Bestow upon me a true faith, a firm hope,
and a sincere and a perfect love.
Grant that I always do your most gracious will. Amen.
