- Prayers for
- amendment of life, protection from temptation, perseverance
Albrecht Dürer, The Virgin with a Starry Crown, 1508. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O MARY, the refuge of all who seriously purpose to turn to God and amend their ways, look down, I beseech thee, on me in mercy. I now firmly purpose to make a sincere change and no longer to offend Thy beloved Son, Jesus. Graciously vouchsafe to intercede for me with Him, that I may not prove false to the resolution I have taken. Pray for me, that I may ever strive valiantly against all temptations, and part with life itself rather than lose the friendship of God, which is above all price. O my guardian angel! O blessed saints of heaven! pray for me, that I may continue in the grace of God, and persevere in it unto my life’s end. Amen.
