“Your Father which is in heaven giveth good things to them that ask Him.”
Matthew 7 v 11
Make me strong in faith, Lord.
It is where I really belong,
By Your side. Hide me
Under the shadow of Your wings. *1
Bring to me the deepest desire
To commit all time, energy to
Your work. Combine Your Spirit
With mine to allow me zeal,
So we’ll perform together as,
Where, and when You will.
“Teach us how short our lives are, that we may be really wise.” Psalm 90 v 12
Instil the power of perseverance
And determination within me
Until I have taken every, yes,
Every thought captive to You. *2
I have such a very long way
To go You know, but thank
You for the start You have
Graciously allowed me to make.
Take me on, dear Lord, on fire
With enthusiasm, for I’m set alight
By Your Spirit. Your light shining
Brightly in my life, for I know
That is all that really, ultimately matters.
“May He grant you to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner self.”
Ephesians 3 v 16
O how I long to praise You adequately,
To the best of my ability,
Joyful in hope, thankful even in adversity.
Persevering and praising, praising and persevering,
My concern is to serve You properly, fully,
To please You entirely, daily, everlastingly.
Send Your Spirit, Lord, for
No more can I go it alone
Than I can fly. He it is
Who sets my hopes on high
In expectation of, dedication to, Your word.
“Holy Spirit soul of my soul, I adore Thee; 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 Thou shalt ask of me and to accept all that Thou permittest to
happen to me, only show me what is Thy will. Amen.” Cardinal Mercier
Fill me with Your holy love, dear Lord.
That it is above all else that matters.
Love is the touch fuse, the glowing kindling,
The blast, heartwarming, blazing down difficulties,
Burning out dross, igniting brightly to warm and cheer.
You appear always where there is a will.
And where there is a will, there’s a way.
I want to walk and talk in Your way, Lord.
It is not just the best way,
But the only way. All life, all holiness
Comes from You. *3 That’s all that matters.
“God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.”

*3 The Celebration of Mass
Holy Spirit, power of the Father, enable us to make our own the mind of Christ
Jesus. Inspire us to walk in the light of His truth and the fire of Your love,
enabling us to grow in Christ’s likeness, that we may give all glory to God. Amen.
