A Isu ronn(5eba • ronsoera do spirut.

lo (May) the Holy Spirit be about us, in us, and with us !
Let the Holy Spirit, O Christ, come to us speedily.
May the Holy Spirit dwell in our body and our soul !
May He protect us readily against peril, against diseases.
Against devils, against sins, against hell with many evils,
15 O Jesus, may Thy Spirit hallow us, deliver us!
