"O Holy Spirit... descend into my heart!
Enlighten the dark corners
of this neglected dwelling.
Dwell in that soul
that longs to be Your temple!
Water that barren soil,
overrun with weeds and briars
and lost to fruitfulness
for want of cultivating.
Make it fruitful
with Your gracious beams,
Your dew from heaven.
O come, Refreshment of those
who languish and faint;
You only Haven
of the tossed and the shipwrecked!
Come, Holy Spirit, in much mercy!
Make me fit to receive you."
(St. Augustine)
