Prayer for Purity

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

I entrust and consecrate myself entirely to you

- mind, heart and body.

Guard and defend me

always from every sin.
May my mind be uplifted to heavenly things,

may my heart love God more and more,

may I avoid every evil occasion.

Hold me close to you,

so that I may keep watch

of my internal and external senses.

Preserve me from all impurity,

and help me to serve you

with undefiled mind, pure heart and chaste body,

so that in heaven

I may join the blessed company of the saints.

Amen.
