Prayer to St. Aloysius Gonzaga for Purity.
.
St. Aloysius, adorned with angelic virtues, I commend to thee most earnestly the chastity of my mind and body. I pray thee, by thy angelic purity, commend me to the Immaculate Lamb, Jesus Christ, 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; and when thou seest me in temptation or in 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 and grant me the grace to imitate thee on earth, that I may enjoy the possession of God with thee in heaven. Amen.
