Holy Spirit
Spirit of the living and eternal God enlighten us.
Come with your Holy lights into our souls.
We implore you from the depth of our hearts,
give us the lights
to do the most Holy will of God.
Holy Spirit, fill us with your spirit of love,
charity, humility, abandonment and patience.
Give us the strength, light, wisdom and fear of God.
In you, Holy Spirit I put all my trust.
Holy Spirit, who regulates all the movements of my life,
make me not to put any resistance
to your inspirations.
Make us to always follow your inspirations. Amen!

Light feather
O most holy and adorable Spirit of my Jesus,
let me hear your gentle voice.
Refresh me with your precious inspiration.
O divine Spirit,
I want to be before you
like a light feather,
so that your breath may carry me
where it will and that
I may not offer
the least resistance to it.
Father Libermann
