Prayers for Healing from Impurity

Prayer for Purity of Body and Mind

Lord, set aflame my heart
and my entire being with the fire of the Holy Spirit,
that I may serve you with chaste body and pure mind.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen..

Prayer of Self-Dedication to Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ,
take all my freedom,
my memory, my understanding, and my will.
All that I have and cherish
You have given me.
I surrender it all to be guided by Your will.
Your grace and Your love
are wealth enough for me.
Give me these, Lord Jesus,
and I ask for nothing more. Amen.

Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified

My good and dear Jesus,
I kneel before you,
asking You most earnestly
to engrave upon my heart
a deep and lively faith, hope, and charity,
with true repentance for my sins,
and a firm resolve to make amends.
As I reflect upon Your five wounds,
and dwell upon them with deep compassion and grief,
I recall, good Jesus, the words the prophet David spoke
long ago concerning Yourself:
they have pierced my hands and my feet,
they have counted my bones.

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proclio, contra nequitiam et inisidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur; tuque, principeps militiae caelestis, santanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem anumarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtue, in infernum detrude. Amen.
