St. Augustine's Holy Spirit Prayer

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit,

that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,

that I always may be holy.

Amen

  • Attendance is at the teacher's discretion. Students may not attend if they have a test or quiz and are responsible for any missed work.
  • If you can no longer attend, cancel your RSVP promptly so colleges have an accurate headcount.
  • Come prepared, be respectful, and bring thoughtful questions-this is your chance to make a great impression.
