YHWH, comes the driving wind from Heaven, the Spirit Jesus breathes upon His apostles, and so we are made your sons, dear Father, and declare your glory unto all.\\xa0 May your Church with one voice offer you due praise and teach the nations of your eternal call.

Now the promised gift of the Spirit falls upon our immortal souls and we are refreshed and made new creatures, formed in the image of Jesus, your Son.\\xa0 One you make us in Spirit and Body, free from all the works of the flesh.\\xa0 Your Son stands in our midst and offers us His peace; the Advocate now testifies to all Truth\\u2026 Come and make your dwelling in us, O glorious LORD and God.'
