446. Prayers for Purity

grant, O bles- sed Joseph, protector of all chaste souls, that this thy beloved virtue of holy purity may be better loved by me and by all men. And thou who didst so deeply love Jesus, Mary and Joseph, St Bernadine, my special advocate and example, model of Christian modesty, re- storer in our times of piety and holy living, present my prayers, I beseech thee, to the Holy Family, and implore that, together with piety and the fear of Gop, holy purity of soul and body may reign in all Christian families and in all children of our Mother, the holy Roman Church. Amen
