We beseech You, O Lord, mercifully pour into our Society, Thy Holy Spirit, by whose Wisdom it was created, by whose Providence it is governed and maintained, and whose love may enkindle in the Society that same fire which Our Lord, Jesus Christ sent down upon earth earnestly desiring that it should burn mightily.
And so,
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.
-Mother Teresa
