purity, the unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You
are the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire

kept from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and
grant that I may always watch for Your light, and listen to Your voice and
follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give myself to You and
ask You by Your compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the
pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His
Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart I implore You,
Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Your grace that I may
never sin against You. Give me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the
Son to say to You always and everywhere “Speak Lord for Your servant
heareth.” Amen.

Veni Creator
Come, O Creator Spirit blest! And in our souls take up Thy rest; Come with Thy
grace and heavenly aid, To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. Great
Paraclete! To Thee we cry, O highest gift of God most high! O font of life! O
fire of love! And sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts art known, The finger of God’s hand we own; The
promise of the Father, Thou! Who dost the tongue with power endow.
Kindle our senses from above, And make our hearts overflow with love; With
patience firm and virtue high The weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread, And grant us Thy true peace instead; So
shall we not, with Thee for guide, Turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow The Father and the Son to know, And Thee,
through endless times confessed, Of both, the eternal Spirit blest.
All glory while the ages run Be to the Father and the Son Who rose from death;
the same to Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally.
Amen.
