Come, Holy Spirit,
come dwell in us,
and help us guard
the good treasure
you entrusted to us.
Forfend that we should
place a stumbling block
before
one of the little ones
who believe in you.
Teach us to offer our
food to the hungry,
to satisfy the needs of
the afflicted,
remembering that you
regard
the prayer of the
destitute
and will not despise
their prayer.
