SANCTI SPIRITUS ADSIT NOBIS GRATIA.
33
16. Thou dost give virtue to the waters to quicken souls;
17. Thou, by Thine Inspiration, grantest to men to be spiritual.
18. Thou didst unite the world, divided both in tongues and rites, O Lord!
19. Thou recallest idolaters to the worship of God, best of Masters!
20. Wherefore of Thy mercy hear us who call upon Thee, Holy Ghost:
21. Without Whom, as the faith teaches, all our prayers are in vain, and unworthy of the ears of God.
22. Thou, O Spirit, Who by embracing the Saints of all ages, dost teach them by the impulse of Thy Divinity;
23. Thyself, by bestowing on the Apostles of Christ a gift immortal, and unheard of from all ages,
24. Hast made this day glorious.
