Protect us against the wiles and machinations of the evil spirit; let me not yield to any temptation on the part of the enemies of my soul, remove from me the occasions of sin and come to my assistance, that I may not expose myself to them.
I humbly beseech Thee, O my God, through the infinite merits of the precious blood of Jesus Christ, to grant me strength and courage to destroy every evil passion which sways my heart, to bless Thee in my greatest afflictions, to glorify Thee by the exact fulfilment of all my duties, supremely to hate all sin, and thus to become a saint.
