O come, Holy Spirit, inflame my heart

O come, Holy Spirit, inflame my heart, set it on fire with love. Burn away my
self-centeredness so that I can love unselfishly. Breathe your life-giving
breath into my soul so that I can live freely and joyously, unrestricted by
self-consciousness, and may be ready to go wherever you may send me. Come like a
gentle breeze and give me your still peace so that I may be quiet and know the
wonder of your presence, and help diffuse it in the world. Never let me shut you
out; never let me try to limit you to my capacity; act freely in me and through
me, never leave me, O Lord and giver of life!
