Let us say one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory, in adoration of the Holy Spirit.
I adore thee, O Holy Spirit, as my God, and my Lord, and in company with the whole court of heaven I offer thee infinite thanks for all the graces and favours thou hast bestowed upon the blessed Virgin, thy most loving Spouse, and especially for that perfect and divine charity with which thou didst inflame her most pure and holy heart in her assumption into heaven. I humbly implore thee, in the name of thy immaculate Spouse, to grant me pardon for all the grievous sins I have committed, from the first moment I wad able to sin till the present hour; I am exceeding sorry for all these my sins, and I firmly purpose to die rather than again offend thy Divine Majesty. By the exceeding great merits and powerful protection of thy loving Spouse, I beseech thee to grant me the precious gift of thy grace and divine love, together with those lights and especial aids through which thy eternal Providence has predetermined to save me and bring me to thyself.
Repeat three times:
Holy Mary, and all ye Saints of God, intercede for us with the Lord, that we may be made worthy of his assistance, and of eternal salvation.
