                     "Thou didst breathe fragrance upon me, 

and I drew in my breath 

and do now pant for Thee, 

 I tasted Thee, and now 

hunger and thirst for Thee,

  Thou didst touch me, 

and I have burned 

for Thy peace."

and bring about in me

what you desire for me!"

St. Augustine

This is what I also, ask of You, Lord. 
 Give me the desire to want ONLY what YOU want for me!  Make Your Will and my own will, the same.

  Grant that I may become the woman
 that You intended me to become!
Amen.

Holy Spirit....

Juan Ferrandiz- Artist

"O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully

into my heart.

Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling,

and scatter there Thy cheerful beams!"
