Prayer for Purity:
Jesus, help me to love as you do. Make
me pure of body, pure of mind, and pure of heart that
I might see God and enjoy his plan for me. Make me clean,
and heal me from the wounds of sin. Strengthen me each
day to live the love to which you call me. By myself,
I am weak and my heart is not pure, but in you I can
be strong and holy.
Mary, I want to be pure like you are.
St. Joseph, I want to have your courage to guard the
purity of others and myself. Please help me in my walk
with Jesus, so that I can glorify God in my body, and
join you all in heaven one day.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed
art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us.
Amen.

Prayer Before a Dance or Party
Dear Saint Maria Goretti! The world teaches that we
must please others in order to be popular. Conscience
demands that I please God more than one who asks an evil
thing in the name of false love.
Teach me by your example to instill into others a real
respect for purity. I entrust the purity and safety of
my future spouse to your care and prayers.Through your
powerful intercession, help me to make of this evening
an occasion for helping others to become spiritually
stronger.
Grant that others may see in me reason to change their
ways, if that be necessary, and that I may have the courage
to resist any temptation to sinful conduct. Let others
be led closer to Jesus and Mary by my example.
Oh Little Saint, who wanted to be popular only with
your Divine Master and His Blessed Mother, help me to
imitate you.
Amen.

Prayer Before a Date
Dear Little Saint Maria Goretti!
Teach me that God must be my first love and that all
other love is based on Him and Him alone. Obtain for
me the grace to cease toying with the occasions of sin
and to remember that my body and the bodies of all in
grace are temples of the Holy Spirit, destined someday
for a glorious resurrection.
I entrust the purity and safety
of my future spouse who I don’t know yet but
God does, to your care and prayers.Through your beautiful
example, teach me
the value and dignity of Christian purity.
Grant that I may never be the occasion of dragging others
into hell, by suggestive words, the way I dress, or evil
deeds of any kind. Through the merits of your Martyrdom,
obtain for me the grace to turn aside from sin, no matter
what the cost, so that one day I may enjoy Heaven with
you and all the other saints.
Amen
