Holy Spirit, Giver of Life

Holy Spirit, Giver of Life,
Holy Spirit, Thrice Holy,
grant me that I too may
grow in love to know God
and obtain His Kingdom.
Grant me the Spirit of Piety
so that my spirit grows
in the principles of the Saints,
and that my thoughts
turn into Your Thoughts,
my acts into Your Acts which
are all pure and divine.

Holy Spirit of Piety,
Friend of God,
teach me to reach perfection
and control over every part
of myself which is so evil,
so that I may obtain Eternal Life.

Spirit of Piety,
ever so beautifully dressed,
come to me and dress my spirit
in purity that I too may be
pleasing in God's Eyes.

Dress my soul with a living Spirit
to serve the Holy Trinity
with honour and grace.

Let me die to my principles,
let me die to my partiality,
my tepidity, my lethargy
and my ambitions;

come and revive me into Your Purity.

Supplier of the fruit of the Tree of Life,
Eternal Joy,
grant me Your Spirit too
to be kin to the Holy Trinity
and an heir to Your Kingdom.

Let my tongue taste what is
most pure in the Light of God
thrice Holy
and consume the One who said:
"I am the Bread of Life."
Holy Spirit of Life,
thrice Holy,
grant my spirit to attain
perfection in the Science
of the Spirit of Piety;

to learn how to observe with fear
what is real Flesh and real Food,
what is real Blood and real Drink
so that I may live in the Father,
in the Son and in the Holy Spirit,
Trinitarian but One,
in the unity of essence.

Make my soul work for Your intentions
which are holy and redemptive,
most pleasing in Your Eyes
by entering my soul
Your Spirit of Piety
will turn me into a devout and
fervent servant.

Starlight of my soul,
pass on to me the piety
of your Saints
to keep Your Laws holy and
graciously show Yourself
to my wretched soul
to remind me that
incorruptibility will bring me near
the Trinitarian God
Most Powerful and Most Holy,
hence nothing impure will be able
to find its way in me.
Amen. IC.
