O Holy Spirit, Divine Spirit of light and love,
I consecrate to You my understanding,
my heart and my will, my whole being for time and for eternity.
May my understanding be always obedient to Your heavenly inspirations
and the teachings of the holy Catholic Church,
of which You are the infallible Guide;
may my heart be ever inflamed with love of God and of my neighbor;
may my will be ever conformed to the Divine will,
and may my whole life be a faithful following
of the life and virtues of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen.
