Secret of Sanctity
O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul,
I adore thee.
Enlighten me, guide me,
strengthen me, console me.
Tell me what I ought to do;
give me thy orders.
I promise to submit myself to all
that thou desirest of me,
and to accept all
that thou permittest to happen to me.
Let me only know thy will. Amen.
