PRAYER FOR FREEDOM FROM THE PASSIONS OF THE FLESH

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Dear Jesus, in the Sacrament of the Altar, be forever thanked and praised.

Love, worthy of all celestial and terrestrial love! Who, out of infinite love for me,

ungrateful sinner, didst assume our human nature, didst shed Thy most Precious Blood in the cruel scourging,

and didst expire on a shameful Cross for our eternal welfare!

Now illumined with lively faith, with the outpouring of my whole soul and the fervor of my heart,

I humbly beseech Thee, through the infinite merits of Thy painful sufferings,

give me strength and courage to destroy every evil passion which sways my heart,

to bless Thee by the exact fulfillment of my duties, supremely to hate all sin,

and thus to become a Saint. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
