In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Saint Peter Damian, reformer of the Church, scourge of the wicked, come to our aid with your prayers!

Great Doctor of the Church, intercede on our behalf before the throne of God.

By your prayers and intercession, help us, O hater of sin, to fly from evil and embrace what is good. We also ask, great saint, that you intercede for this special intention,

Pause here for the grace you are asking.

Pray for us, O monk, O cardinal, O servant of God!

Amen.

Prayer of St. Peter Damian to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Holy Virgin, Mother of God, succor those who implore thy aid. O turn towards us.

Hast thou, perhaps, forgotten men, because thou hast been raised to so close a union with God? Ah no, most certainly.

Thou knowest well in what danger thou didst leave us, and the wretched condition of thy servants; ah no, it would not become so great a mercy as thine to forget such great misery as ours is.

Turn towards us then with thy power; for He who is powerful has made thee omnipotent in Heaven and on earth. Nothing is impossible to thee, for thou canst raise even those who are in despair to the hope of salvation. The more powerful thou art, the greater should be thy mercy.

Turn also to us in thy love. I know, O my Lady, that thou art all benign, and that thou lovest us with a love that can be surpassed by no other love.

How often dost thou not appease the wrath of our Judge, when he is on the point of chastising us! All the treasures of the mercies of God are in thy hands. Ah never cease to benefit us; thou only seekest occasion to save all the wretched, and to shower thy mercies upon them; for thy glory is increased when, by thy means, penitents are forgiven, and thus reach Heaven.

Turn then towards us, that we also may be able to go and see thee in Heaven; for the greatest glory we can have will be, after seeing God, to see thee, to love thee, and be under thy protection. Be pleased then to grant our prayer; for thy beloved Son desires to honor thee, by denying thee nothing that thou askest.

Amen.

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

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

St Peter Damian, pray for us!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
