 any stain  of  impurity;  but  when  thou  dost see me  in  temptation,  or  in  danger  of  falling, then remove  far  from  my  heart  all  bad thoughts and  unclean  desires,  and  awaken  in me  the  memory  of  eternity  and  of  Jesus  crucified; impress  deeply  in  my  heart  a  sense  of the  holy  fear  of  God;  and  thus,  kindling  in me  the  fire  of  divine  love,  enable  me  so  to follow  thy  footsteps  here  on  earth,  that  in heaven  with  thee  I  may  be  made  worthy  to enjoy  the  vision  of  our  God  forever. Amen.

''Our Father,  Hail  Mary. ''

Indulgence of 100 days, once  a  day. — Pius  VII, March  6,  1802.

ST. ALOYSIUS,  so  renowned  for  thy purity of  heart,  thy  humility,  and  obedience, thy  special  devotion  to  the  Most  Holy Sacrament, and  thy  tender  love  for  the  Blessed Virgin Mary,  I  consecrate  myself  to  thee,  beseeching thee  to  number  me  among  thy  fervent clients. Obtain that  I  may  perfectly imitate all  thy  virtues,  especially  thy  purity and perseverance. Help me  with  thy  prayers, that I  may  never  cease  to  love  my  God  and sing His  praises. Assist me  by  a  special  protection at  the  hour  of  my  death,  that  I  may present myself  pure  and  stainless  to  the  sovereign Judge  and  enjoy  with  thee  eternal  happiness. Amen.
