Come, O Holy Spirit!
Enlighten my mind to know your commands;
strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy;
inflame my will …
I have heard your voice, and I don’t want to harden myself 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 because you want, I want however you want, I want whenever you want.
