It was a little over a year ago now that I left to do schooling in France. Now that I’m back and revisiting friends and catching up, and in the midst of being somewhat confused during this transition period, I find myself finding encouragement in St. Augustine’s honest prayer. Things would be much clearer if I could remember this in every moment and everything that I do.
PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.
Amen. (St. Augustine)
