Sighing for the Holy Spirit

Sighing for the Holy Spirit

O MILDEST Comforter, Holy Spirit, come to me. My soul sighs for Thee! My heart thirsts for Thee! Thou alone canst satisfy my longing; Thou alone canst make me happy. Despise not, O Divine Bridegroom, the dwelling of my poor heart. 

My heart, alas, is unclean, but Thou canst purify it.
My heart is dark, but Thou canst illuminate it.
My heart is wicked, but Thou canst penetrate it with love.
My heart is sad, but Thou canst comfort it.
My heart is weak, but Thou canst strengthen it.
My heart is cold, but Thou canst inflame it. 

My heart clings to earth, but Thou canst fill it with heavenly desires. 

My heart is full of sin, but Thou canst adorn it with all virtues.
My heart is inconstant and wayward, but Thou canst make it docile. 

Come then, O Holy Spirit, Thou Father of the poor, come and fill me with Thy love. Amen. 

Father, Father, send us the promised Paraclete, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
