In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"O Holy Spirit, Soul of my soul, I worship and adore You. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I must to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive to all that You permit to happen to me, but only let me know Your will." Amen.
