Prayer to the Holy Spirit

by St. Augustine:

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,

to defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,

that I always may be holy.

Amen.
