Glorious St. Benedict, sublime model of virtue,
pure vessel of God’s grace! Behold me humbly kneeling
at your feet. I implore you in your loving kindness to pray
for me before the throne of God. To you I have recourse in the
dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness
and my indifference to God and to my neighbour. Inspire me to
imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always,
so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His
kingdom.
Graciously obtain for me from God those favors and graces which
I need so much in the trails, miseries and afflictions of life.
Your heart was always full of love, compassion and mercy towards
those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. You never dismissed
without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to
you. I therefore invoke your powerful intercession, confident
in the hope that you will hear my prayers and obtain for me
the special grace and favour I earnestly implore........Here
make your request !!!...
Help me, great St. Benedict, to live and die as a faithful
child of God, to run in the sweetness of His loving will and
to attain the eternal happiness of heaven. Amen.
