I know that every perfect gift,
and especially that of chastity,
depends on the power of Your providence.
Without You, a mere creature can do nothing.
Therefore, I beg You to defend by Your grace

the chastity and purity of my body and soul.
And if I have ever sensed or imagined anything
that could stain my chastity and purity,
blot it out, Supreme Lord of my powers,
that I may advance with a pure heart in Your love and service,

offering myself on the most pure altar of Your divinity
all the days of my life. Amen."
