O GLORIOUS Saint Alphonsus, my most beloved protector, thou who hast laboured and suffered so much to secure to men the fruits of Redemption, behold the miseries of my poor soul, and have pity on me. Through thy powerful intercession with JESUS and Mary, obtain for me true repentance, together with the pardon of my past faults, a great horror of sin, and strength always to resist temptation.
Impart to me, I pray thee, a spark of that ardent charity with which thy heart was ever inflamed; and grant that, imitating thee, I may make the good pleasure of GOD the only rule of my life. Obtain for me, moreover, a fervent and constant love for JESUS CHRIST, and a tender and filial devotion to his Mother Mary, together with the grace to pray always, and to persevere in the service of GOD until my death; so that I may at length join with thee in praising GOD, and the most Blessed Virgin Mary, for all eternity.
Amen.
