O Holy Spirit, abyss of goodness and sweetness, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have granted me, especially the grace of having invested me with the sublime dignity of being a child of God. Unfortunately, I have not always been worthy of such a great privilege. By my countless sins, I have rebelled against my heavenly Father, turned my back on Him and become one of His worst enemies. But You have had mercy on me, O Holy Spirit; You prompted me to repentance and, I hope, obtained my forgiveness. You have restored my previous dignity to me, my beautiful title of child of God; for this may You be forever praised and blessed! Please crown Your kindness by sending me the true spirit of the children of God, the spirit of piety, which will give me sentiments of filial love and sweet confidence in God, and a tender and compassionate heart for my neighbor. O Holy Spirit, divine comforter of souls, I implore You by the merits of Jesus Christ and the intercession of the Virgin Mary, please soften my hard, insensitive heart. Banish from it mistrust of God, and exaggerated fears that take away courage and fervor. Cast from it all envy and harshness toward my neighbor which oppose the love that should prevail among brothers. Then, O Holy Spirit, the service of God will be pleasant to me, its yoke will be sweet and its burden light, relations with my neighbor will be filled with the heavenly sweetness of Your anointing, and I will fly in the way of Your commandments; for You will have dilated my heart. O Mary, tender Spouse of the Holy Spirit, obtain for me the beautiful Gift of Piety. Amen. 7 Hail Mary, 7 Glory Be.
