Veni Sanctificator.

"O Holy Spirit of Light and Love, to You I consecrate my heart, mind, and will for time and eternity. May I be ever docile to Your Divine inspirations and to the teachings of the holy Catholic Church whose infallible guide You are. May my heart be ever inflamed with the love of God and love of neighbour. May my will be ever in harmony with Your Divine Will. May my life faithfully imitate the life and virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him, with the Father, and You, Divine Spirit, be honour and glory forever. Amen." – Pope St Pius X, whose feast is today (21st August). This is the underside of the baldachino over the High Altar of the National Shrine in Washington DC. The Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, is shown coming down upon the Eucharistic gifts offered on the Altar under it.
