Holy Spirit of God, Breath of my breath, Life of my life, Soul of my soul; I praise you, I adore you, I worship you. 
I bring before you my whole life; my heart, my soul, my mind and my body. 
Come, possess me and make me holy.

 Possess my heart that I may love God above all else; 
Possess my soul that I may yearn for God and God alone; 
Possess my mind that I may know God; 
Possess my body that I may glorify God in my being. 
I consecrate this day to you. 

Grant me Wisdom
so that I may know that in God alone is all truth. 
Grant me Peace in my heart
and calm all my fears. 
Grant me Love
so that I may show compassion. 
Grant me Patience
so that I may take the opportunity to learn from life and others. 
Grant me Understanding
so that I may deal wisely with the mysteries that today brings. 
Grant me Faithfulness
so that I may lovingly nurture each of my relationships 
Grant me Kindness and Generosity
so that I may share God’s love and my being with those in need. 
Grant me Self Control
so that I may not hasten to wrong words and actions. 
Be my all, today and forever. 
Amen.
