0 Holy Spirit! grant unto me
the spirit of Wisdom, that I may despise the perishable things of this world, and love the things that are eternal;
the spirit of Understanding, to Enlighten me and to give me the knowledge of religion;
the spirit of Counsel, that I may diligently seek the surest ways of pleasing God and obtaining heaven:
the spirit of Fortitude, that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation;
the spirit of Knowledge, that I may be enlightened in the ways of God;
the spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God both swert and amiable;
the spirit of Fear, that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him.
Seal me, in Thy mercy, with the seal of a disciple of Jesus Christ, unto everlasting life; and grant that, carrying the cross upon my forehead, I may carry it also in my heart, and confessing Thee boldly before men, may merit to be one day reckoned in the number of Thy elect. Amen.
0 Holy Spirit, Eternal Love of the Father and the Son, vouchsafe to grant unto me, I beseech Thee,
the fruit of Charity, that I may be united to Thee by divine love;

the fruit of Patience, that I may endure humbly everything that may be opposed to my own desires;
the fruit of Benignity, that I may willingly relieve the necessities of my neighbor;
the fruit of Goodness, that I may be benevolent towards all;
the fruit of Longanimity, that I may not be discouraged by delay, but may persevere in prayer;
the fruit of Mildness, that I may subdue every rising- of evil temper, stifle every murmur, and repress the susceptibilities of my nature, in all my dealings with my neighbor;
the fruit of Fidelity, that I may rely with assured confidence on the word of God;
the fruit of Modesty, that I may order my exterior regularly;
the fruit of Continency and Chastity, that I may keep my body in such holiness as becometh thy temple, so that, having, by Thy assistance, preserved my heart pure on earth, I may merit, in Jesus Christ, according to the words of the Gospel, to see God eternally in the glory of His kingdom. Amen.
