the teaching of the Catholic Church, of which Thou art the infallible guide; may my heart be ever inflamed with love of God and of my neighbor; may my will be ever conformed to the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to Whom with the Father and Thee be honor and glory forever. Amen.

Veni, Creator Spiritus
COME, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest,
And in our hearts take up Thy rest;
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
||: To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O Comforter, to Thee we cry;
Thou heavenly Gift of God most high;
Thou Fount of life, and Fire of love,
||: And sweet Anointing from above.
Drive far away our deadly foe,
And peace for evermore bestow;
If Thou be our preventing Guide,
||: No evil can our steps betide.
Praise we the Father and the Son,
And Holy Spirit, with Them One;
And may the Son on us bestow
||: The gifts that from the Spirit flow.
