Prayer for the Week: Saint Aloysius – Prayer for Purity – Raccolta #496

Saint Aloysius, adorned with angelic virtues, I, thy
most unworthy client, commend to thee most
earnestly the chastity of my mind and body. I
beseech thee, for the sake of thine angelic purity, to
commend me to the Immaculate Lamb, Christ Jesus,
and to His most holy Mother, the Virgin of virgins;
and to protect me from every grievous sin. Permit me
not to defile myself by any spot of impurity; nay,
when thou seest me in temptation or in the danger of
sin, banish far from my heart every unclean thought
and desire. Awaken in me the thought of eternity and
of Jesus crucified; imprint deeply in my heart a lively
sense of the holy fear of God; set me on fire with the
love of God; grant me the grace to imitate thee on
earth that I may worthily enjoy the possession of God
in heaven with thee. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V. Pray for us, Saint Aloysius,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ.
Let us pray. O God, the Giver of all heavenly gifts,
who in the angelic youth, Aloysius, didst join
wondrous innocence with equal penance: be
entreated by his merits and his prayers, and grant
unto us who have not followed him in his innocence
the grace to imitate him in his penance. Through
Christ our Lord. Amen. An indulgence of 300 days once a day.

A plenary indulgence once a month, on the usual conditions, for the daily
and devout recitation of this prayers.
