Prayers for Purity

O JESUS, SON of the living GOD, brightness of eternal light, who from all eternity wast begotten most pure in the bosom of the Eternal FATHER, and w r ho in time didst will to be born of a most pure and immaculate Virgin, I, thy Creature full of infirmity, beg of Thee, with all my heart, to preserve me pure in mind and body; and do Thou cause to be renewed most abundantly in thy holy Church the virtue of holy Purity for thy greater glory and the salvation of the souls Thou hast redeemed. O most pure and ever-immaculate Virgin Mary, Daughter of the Eternal FATHER, Mother of the Eternal SON, and Spouse of the HOLY GHOST, august and living temple of the most adorable Trinity, lily of purity and mirror without stain, obtain for me, dear Mother, I beseech thee, from the good JESUS, purity of mind and body, and beg of Him to cause this beautiful virtue to flourish more and more among all classes of the faithful. O most chaste Spouse of Mary Immaculate, glorious St Joseph, who didst merit to receive from GOD the singular privilege of being the reputed Father of Innocence itself, JESUS CHRIST, and spotless guardian of the Virgin of virgins, obtain for me, I beseech thee, the love of JESUS, my SAVIOUR and GOD, and the special protection of Mary my most blessed Mother; grant, O blessed Joseph, protector of all chaste souls, that this thy beloved virtue of holy purity may be better loved by me and by all men. And thou who didst so deeply love JESUS, Mary and Joseph, St Bernadine, my special advocate and example, model of Christian modesty, restorer in our times of piety and holy living, present my prayers, I beseech thee, to the Holy Family, and implore that, together with piety and the fear of GOD, holy purity of soul and body may reign in all Christian families and in all children of our Mother, the holy Roman Church. Amen.
