Prayer to the Holy Spirit
composed by St Josemaria
Escriva in 1934
Come, O Holy Spirit! Enlighten
my mind to know your
commandments; strengthen my
heart against the snares of the
enemy; inflame my will. I have
heard your voice; I don’t want
to harden my heart and resist,
saying ‘Later..., tomorrow.’ Nunc
coepi! Now I begin, in case
there is no tomorrow for me.
O Spirit of truth and wisdom,
Spirit of understanding and
counsel, Spirit of joy and peace!
I want whatever you want. I
want it because you want it, I
want it however you want it, I
want it whenever you want it...

Let us pray.
O God, you have taught the
hearts of the faithful by the

rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.

DEUS, qui corda fidelium
Sancti Spiritus illustratione
docuisti: da nobis in eodem
Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius
semper consolatione gaudere.

nostrum.

that live!

Thou who art sevenfold in thy
gifts, finger of God’s right hand;
his promise, teaching little ones
to speak and understand.
Tu septiformis munere, digitus

Son; and thee, the Spirit of them

Thou of all consolers best, thou
the soul’s delightful guest, dost
refreshing peace bestow.
Consolátor óptime,
dulcis hospes ánimæ,
dulce refrigérium.
Thou in toil art comfort sweet,
pleasant coolness in the heat,
solace in the midst of woe.
In labóre réquies,
in æstu tempéries,
in fletu solácium.
Light immortal, light divine,
visit now these hearts of thine,
and our inmost being fill.
O lux beatíssima,
reple cordis íntima
tuórum fidélium.
If thou take thy grace away
nothing pure in man will stay;
all his good is turned to ill.
Sine tuo númine,
nihil est in hómine
nihil est innóxium.
Heal our wounds, our strength
renew, on our dryness pour thy
dew, wash the stains of guilt
away.
Lava quod est sórdidum,
riga quod est áridum,
sana quod est sáucium.
Bend the stubborn heart and
will, melt the frozen, warm the
chill, guide the steps that go
astray.
Flecte quod est rígidum,
fove quod est frígidum,
rege quod est dévium.
Thou on us who evermore thee
confess and thee adore, with
thy sevenfold gifts descend.
Give us comfort when we die;
give us life with thee on high;
give us joys that never end.
Amen.
Da tuis fidélibus,
in te confidéntibus,
sacrum septenárium.
Da virtútis méritum,
da salútis éxitum,
da perénne gáudium.
Amen.
