Looking For A Good Peace Prayer... Help?

[dUSt]

I'm looking for a good peace prayer, or a prayer relating to the Holy Spirit.

My first thought was the Prayer of St Francis. But--I need a prayer that is about twice as long as that one.

Any ideas?

It's for a t-shirt design idea, and it [b]specifically[/b] needs to be around 200 words or about 1800 characters long (with spaces).

Prayer to Mary for peace, 150 words: http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=2092

Not sure if its what you're looking for, though!

I have a bunch of great prayers to the Holy Spirit, but they're about 300+ words ... too long?

300 words may work...

Here's my idea...

why not just step and repeat the St. Francis prayer?

or make up a prayer by yourself?

BUT... I LIKE Canticle of the Sun! Why not just use that?

That is nice! I like it!!!

If you want to try something else, though, here is one of the prayers I was talking about, by St. Alphonsus Liguori: (331 words)
Holy Spirit, divine Consoler, I adore You as my true God, with God the Father and God the Son. I adore You and unite myself to the adoration You receive from the angels and saints.

I give You my heart and I offer my ardent thanksgiving for all the grace which You never cease to bestow on me.

O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with such immense favors, I beg You to visit me with Your grace and Your love and to grant me the gift of holy fear, so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg pardon.

Grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You for the future with increased fervor, follow with more promptness Your holy inspirations, and observe your divine precepts with greater fidelity.

Grant me the gift of knowledge, so that I may know the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy teaching, may walk, without deviation, in the path of eternal salvation.

Grant me the gift of fortitude, so that I may overcome courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the dangers of this world which threaten the salvation of my soul.

Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I may choose what is more conducive to my spiritual advancement and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.

Grant me the gift of understanding, so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation of heavenly things detach my thoughts and affections from the vain things of this miserable world.

Grant me the gift of wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions, referring them to God as my last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life, I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next.

Amen.
