O Holy Spirit! Divine link Who does unite Father and

Son in an ineffable and most intimate bond of love!

Spirit of light and of truth, deign to pour forth all the

fullness of your gifts on my poor soul, which I solemnly

consecrate to You forever, so that You may be its instructor,

director and master. I humbly ask of You fidelity to all
Your desires and inspirations and a full and loving

surrender to Your divine action.

 

  O Creator Spirit! Come, come to work in me the renewal

for which I ardently sigh; such a renewal and transformation

that it be like a new creation, all of grace, of purity and of love,

with which I may truly begin the fully spirited and divine

life that my Christian vocation demands.

 

  Spirit of Sanctity, grant my soul the touch of Your purity,

and it will become whiter than snow! Sacred Fountain of

innocence, of Candor and of Virginity, quench the thirst for

purity that burns me. Envelop all of my being with your pure

flames. Consume in the ardor of pure love anything in me

that is impure and unholy.

 

  May Your divine anointing renew my consecration as

a temple of the entire Blessed Trinity and as a living

member of Jesus Christ, to Whom I offer, with greater

perfection than before, my soul, body, faculties and senses,

with all that I am and have. Infuse me with the true spirit

of my vocation and the great virtues that it demands,

and which are a sure pledge of sanctity: love of the cross

and of humiliation.

 

  Receive me, therefore, O Holy Spirit, that I may give myself

to you totally and completely. Possess me; grant me admittance

to the most chaste delights of Your union that I may expire in it

of pure love upon receiving your anointing and kiss of peace.

Amen
