O sanctifying Spirit, I kneel before You and adore You from the very depths of my soul, recognizing my nothingness. I thank You for all the graces You have bestowed upon me to this day, and I beg Your forgiveness for having corresponded so poorly to them. O Holy Spirit, do not consider my sins but only Your infinite mercy and Your very ardent desire to sanctify me. From now on, I want to be fully pleasing to You. In the past I have been an ungrateful sinner, but it will no longer be so in the future. As of this moment, I renounce sin and all earthly affections, and I want to dedicate myself entirely to Your love. Indeed, by myself I can do nothing. It is up to You, O sanctifying Spirit, to work this great wonder of making me a saint. This is not difficult for You. In the past You have produced such wonderful masterpieces of holiness. Is it not You who formed the adorable body and soul of Jesus Christ, head and model of all predestined souls? Is it not You also who safeguarded the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary from all stain, and who raised Her to the highest degree of sanctity? And throughout the ages, how many souls have You preserved from sin, or purified after their sins, to lead them, by Your divine gifts, to the summit of perfection. O Holy Spirit, what You have done for others, You can also do for me! Not only are You able, but You want to do it: that is Your special mission, to make saints of us. Therefore have mercy on me, a poor sinner. Do not reject me, no matter how unworthy of Your goodness I may be. I no longer want to set any obstacles to the workings of Your grace; I lend myself to it without reserve. Wash me in the tears of penance and in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Enlighten me with Your divine light. Kindle me with the holy ardor of charity. Give me love for prayer and for all the virtues You want to see in me. O Father of the poor, O Dispenser of heavenly gifts, hear my humble prayer! I implore it of You, by the merits of the Redeemer and the intercession of Your cherished Spouse, the Blessed Virgin Mary. May I belong entirely to You, as You want to belong entirely to me. Lead me to the land of the blessed, so that after having loved You very much on earth, I may continue loving You in heaven, in union with the Father and the Son, forever and ever. Amen. 7 Hail Mary, 7 Glory Be.
