O Holy Ghost, most worthy and affectionate companion of my soul, and most
faithful witness of my heavenly birthright and happiness, continue to
abide in my heart during this protracted, bodily affliction, and quicken
me by Thy divine comfort and keep me steadfast in Thy pure Word and most
holy sacraments. Preserve in me faith, hope and charity, these three
pillars of my Christianity. Enable me rightly to understand God's
paternal will that I may in silence submit to it, live and die in
accordance with it. Amen.
