Prayer to St. Timothy as your Patron Saint
Saint Timothy, whom I have chosen as my special patron, pray for me that I too may one day glorify the Blessed Trinity in Heaven.
Obtain for me thy lively faith, that I may consider all persons, things, and events in the light of almighty God.
Pray that I may be generous in making sacrifices of temporal things to promote my eternal interests, as thou didst so wisely do.
Set me on fire with a love for Jesus, that I may thirst for His sacraments and burn with zeal for the spread of His kingdom.
By thy powerful intercession, help me in the performance of my duties to God, myself, and all the world.
Win for me the virtue of purity and a great confidence in the Blessed Virgin.
Protect me this day, and every day of my life. Keep me from mortal sin. Obtain for me the grace of a happy death. Amen.
