Prayer

MY God, Who dost possess in incomprehensible abundance all that is perfect and worthy of love! Annihilate in me all guilty, sensual, and undue love of creatures, kindle in my heart the pure fire of Thy love, so that I may love nothing but Thee or in Thee, until, being entirely consumed by holy love of Thee, I may go to love Thee eternally with the elect in heaven, the country of pure love. Amen.

Let us pray

O God, who hast prepared all good things for them that love Thee! pour into our hearts such a desire of Thy love, that we, loving Thee in all and above all, may attain Thy heavenly promises, which exceed all that we can desire. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Indulgenced Prayer

O LORD Almighty, who permittest evil to draw good therefrom, hear our humble prayers, and grant that we remain faithful to Thee unto death. Grant us also, through the intercession of most holy Mary, the strength ever to conform ourselves to Thy most holy will.

Indulgence of 100 days once a day. — Pius IX, June 15, 1862.
