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.

Amen.
