Make me a faithful follower of Jesus, an obedient child of the Church and a help to my neighbor. Help me to grow in the four cardinal virtues, Your seven gifts and Your twelve fruits. Increase faith, hope and charity in me and bring forth in me all the virtues proper to my state of life. Give me compunction and patience, and do not let me fall into sin. Fill my heart with a holy fear and a great love for Him. Teach me to know and to seek God, by whom and for whom I was created. I adore You and love You with all my heart. You are the Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to Them in all things. Oh Holy Spirit, You are the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Fill our lives with wonder and awe in your presence which penetrates all creation. Spirit of God, spark our faith, hope and love into new action each day. May we respect life as we work to solve problems of family and nation, economy and ecology. Spirit of knowledge and reverence, help us to see the lasting value of justice and mercy in our everyday dealings with one another. Spirit of right judgment and courage, guide us and make us firm in our baptismal decision to follow Jesus' way of love. Spirit of wisdom and understanding, enlighten our minds to perceive the mysteries of the universe in relation to eternity.
