Come, O Holy Spirit, come…

Come, O Holy Spirit, come.
Come like holy fire and burn within me.
Come like holy wind and cleanse me.
Come like holy light and lead me.
Come like holy truth and teach me.
Come like holy love and enfold me.
Come as abundant life and
fill me,
convert me, and
consecrate me
until I am completely yours.
Come, O Holy Spirit, come!

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit…

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy. Amen.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
