1 min read
O my glorious and well-beloved patron, Saint Alphonsus, thou who didst toil and suffer so abundantly to assure to men the fruits of the Redemption, behold the miseries of my poor soul and have pity on me.
By thy powerful intercession with Jesus and Mary, obtain for me true repentance for my sins together with their pardon and remission, a deep hatred of sin and strength evermore to resist all temptations (mention your request).
Obtain for me likewise a fervent and lasting love of Jesus, and a tender and childlike devotion to Mary, together with the grace to persevere in the service of God even to the end of my life.
Amen.
When to pray
On August 1 (feast of Saint Alphonsus), before confession, during retreats, or when asking for conversion and perseverance in faith.
