You are fire; enkindle in me your love. / You are light; enlighten my mind with the knowledge of eternal things. / You are the Dove; give me innocence of life. / You are the gentle Breeze; disperse the storms of my passions. / You are the Tongue; teach me how to bless you always. / You are the Cloud; shelter me under the shadow of your protection. / And lastly, You are the Giver of all heavenly gifts; animate me, / I beseech you, with your grace; sanctify me / with your charity; enlighten me / with your wisdom; adopt me by your goodness as your child, / and save me in your infinite mercy; / so that I may ever bless you, praise you, and love you; / first during this life on earth, / and then in heaven for all eternity. / Amen.
