Spirit of peace and patience,
Spirit of longanimity and meekness,
Spirit of benignity and goodness,
Love substantial of the Father and the Son,
Love and life of saintly souls,
Fire ever burning,
Living water to quench the thirst of hearts,
From all evil, deliver us, O Holy Spirit.
From all impurity of soul and body, deliver us, O Holy Spirit.
From all gluttony and sensuality, etc.
From all attachments to the things of the earth,
From all hypocrisy and pretence,
From self-love and self-judgment,
From our own will,
From slander,
From deceiving our neighbors,
From our passions and disorderly appetites,
From our inattentiveness to Thy holy inspirations,
From the despising little things,
From debauchery and malice,
From love of comfort and luxury,
From wishing to seek or desire anything other than Thee,
From everything that displeases Thee,
Most loving Father, forgive us.
Divine Word, have pity on us.
Holy and divine Spirit, leave us not until we are in possession of the Divine Essence, Heaven of heavens.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Send us the divine Consoler.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Fill us with the gifts of Thy Spirit.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Make the fruits of the Holy Spirit increase within us.
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful,
And enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created,
And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let Us Pray
O God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit didst instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us by the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. R. Amen.
