Prayer of St. Augustine

Breath in me, O Holy Spirit,

that my thoughts may all be holy.

 

Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work too may be holy.

 

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.

 

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.

 

Guard me then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.  

 

Amen
