My favorite prayer to the Holy Spirit

Prayer to the Holy Spirit by Saint Josemaria Escriva

Come, O Holy Spirit:
enlighten my understanding
to know Your commands;
strengthen my heart
against the wiles of the enemy;
inflame my will
I have heard Your voice,
and I don’t want to harden
my heart by resisting,
by saying ‘later…tomorrow.’
Nunc coepi! Now!
Lest there be no tomorrow for me!
O, Spirit of truth and wisdom,
Spirit of understanding and counsel,
Spirit of joy and peace!
I want what You want,
I want it because You want it,
I want it as You want it,
I want it when You want it.
