Septiformis gratia, charisma vocatus.

The gift of God, Charity, and the reviving spring,

Adsit nobis, quaesumus Domine, virtus spiritus sancti: quae et corda nostra clementer expurget, et ab omnibus tueatur adversis. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum filium tuum: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate spiritus sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum.

Prayer:
We beseech thee O Lord, that the virtue of the Holy Spirit may be present unto us: the which may mildly both purge our hearts, and also defend us from all adversities, through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son: Who liveth and reigneth, God, with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end.

R: Amen.

R: Amen.
