Atme in mir, du Heiliger Geist,
dass ich Heiliges denke.
Treibe mich, du Heiliger Geist,
dass ich Heiliges tue.
Locke mich, du Heiliger Geist,
dass ich Heiliges liebe.
Stärke mich, du Heiliger Geist,
dass ich Heiliges hüte.
Hüte mich, du Heiliger Geist,
dass ich das Heilige nimmer verliere.
Amen.
Augustinus (354-430)
Breathe in me, you Holy Spirit,
that I may think holy things.
Move me, you Holy Spirit,
that I may do holy things.
Entice me, you Holy Spirit,
that I may love what is holy.
Strengthen me, you Holy Spirit,
that I may guard what is holy.
Guard me, you Holy Spirit,
that I may never lose what is holy.
Amen.
St Augustine (354-430)
