In this life we shall never know the graces given to us: never be able to appreciate fully all that they mean;

But we shall squander them and misuse them if we do not love this life of prayer and work...

And so we pray for a discerning heart:

Holy, Sacred Spirit, breathe your life in us.

Create a new heart in me, O Lord.

Holy, Sacred Spirit, breathe your breath on us,

Holy, Sacred Spirit, breathe your life in us.
