Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Blessed Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer (1902-1975), Founder of Opus Dei

Come, O holy Spirit! Enlighten my understanding in order to know your commands, strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy; enkindle my will. I have heard your voice and I do not want to harden my heart and resist, saying, "Later...tomorrow." Nunc coepi! Right now! Lest there be no tomorrow for me.

O Spirit of truth and of wisdom, Spirit of understanding and of counsel, Spirit of joy and of peace! I want what you want, because you want it, as you want, when you want it.
