Ave Maria Meditations

O holy Mary, my Mother, into your blessed trust and custody, and into the care of your mercy by this day, every day, and then the hour of my death, I commend my soul and my body.

To you I commit all my anxieties and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that by your most holy intercession and by your merits, all my actions may be directed and disposed according to your will and out of your Son. Amen

A prayer of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga

A Prayer to Aid in the Pursuit of Purity:

O blessed Aloysius, adorned with angelic virtues, I, your most unworthy suppliant, recommend specially to you the chastity of my soul and body, praying to you by your angelic purity to plead for me with Jesus Christ the Immaculate Lamb, and His most Holy Mother, Virgin of virgins, that they would vouchsafe to keep me from all grievous sin. 

Never suffer me to be defiled with any stain of impurity; but when you see me in temptation, or in danger of falling, then remove far from my mind all evil thoughts and unclean desires, and awaken in me the memory of eternity to come, and of Jesus crucified; impress deeply in my heart a sense of the holy fear of God; and kindling in me the fire of divine love, enable me so to follow your footsteps here on earth, that in heaven I may be made worthy to enjoy with you the vision of our God forever. Amen.
