Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Tonight we have our meeting with Confirmation Candidates and parents, which we will begin with this prayer to the Holy Spirit attributed to St. Augustine.  It's a great prayer for beginnings and in moments of need:
The Holy Spirit from St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican
Breathe in us, O Holy Spirit, that our thoughts may be holy.
Act in us, O Holy Spirit, that our work too may be holy.
Draw our hearts, O Holy Spirit, that we may love but what is holy.
Strengthen us, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard us then, O Holy Spirit, that we always may be holy.
Amen.
