I am going to reveal to you a secret of sanctity and happiness. If every day during five minutes, you will keep your imagination quiet, shut your eyes to all the things of sense, and close your ears to all the sounds of earth, so as to be able to withdraw into the sanctuary of your baptized soul, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, speaking there to that Holy Spirit saying:

O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive in everything that You permit to happen to me, only show me what is Your will.

If you do this, your life will pass happily and serenely. Consolation will abound even in the midst of troubles. Grace will be given in proportion to the trial as well as strength to bear it bringing you to the gates of Paradise full of merit.

This submission to the Holy Spirit is the Secret of Sanctity.

PRAYER Come, Holy Spirit Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation. Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm. Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence. Replace the fear within us with a strong faith. Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace. Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light. Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth. Replace the night within us with your light. Replace the winter within us with your spring. Straighten our crookedness. Fill our emptiness. Dull the edge of our pride. Sharpen the edge of our humility. Light the fires of our love. Quench the flames of our lust. Let us see ourselves as you see us That we may see you as you have promised And be fortunate according to your word. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

DAILY PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Most Holy Spirit- Beloved of my soul I do adore thee Enlighten me, strengthen me, guide me, Comfort me, console me. I do promise to submit myself to all you do desire of me And permit all you wish to happen to me. Give me your orders, tell me what to do. Most Holy Spirit Bring Peace to the world.
