O Heilige Gees‚
bly altyd by ons;
begeester ons gedagtes‚
deurdring ons verbeelding;
por ons aan om reg te besluit;
bring orde in ons chaos.
Wees met ons in ons stilbly en in ons praat‚
in die gejaagdheid van ons werk‚
en in die rus van ons ontspanning.
Wees met ons wanneer ons alleen is‚
en wanneer ons omring is van mense;
in die varsheid van die vroegoggend‚
en in die uitputting van die laataand.
Heilige Gees‚
skenk ons die vermoë om te alle tye
nederig bewus te wees van die misterie
van u teenwoordigheid‚
en om ons daarin te verheug.
amen
John Baillie

O Holy Spirit‚
always stay with us;
inspire our thoughts‚
permeate our imagination;
encourage us to choose correctly;
bring order in our chaos.
Be with us in our silence and in our speaking‚
in the rush of our jobs‚
and in the rest of our relaxation.
Be with us when we are alone‚
and when we are surrounded by people;
in the freshness of the early morning‚
and in the fatigue of the late night.
Holy Spirit‚
give us the ability to always
be quietly aware of the mystery
of your presence‚
and to find joy therein.
amen
John Baillie
