Nobis Sancti Spiritus gratia sit data
de qua virgo virginum fuit obumbrata
cum per sanctum angelum fuit salutata,
verbum caro factum est,
virgo fecundata veni Sancte Spiritus,
reple tuorum corda fidelium:
et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.

May we know the gift of the Holy Spirit
Which once overshadowed the virgin of virgins
when she heard heaven's greeting through a Holy angel:
The Word became flesh and the virgin fruitful.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
