PRAYER TO BE FREED OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

~thread; daily instalments~

1. O meek Saviour and Prince of Peace,
implant in me the virtues
of gentleness and patience.
Let me curb the fury of ANGER
(cont'd in comment section)

... and restrain all resentment and impatience
so as to overcome evil with good,
attain Your peace,
and rejoice in Your love.

2. O Model of humility,
divest me of all PRIDE and arrogance.
Let me acknowledge
my weakness and sinfulness,
so that I may bear mockery and contempt for Your sake
and esteem myself as lowly in Your sight.

O Teacher of abstinence,
help me to serve You rather than my appetites.
Keep me from GLUTTONY – the inordinate love for food and drink –
and let me hunger and thirst for your justice.

O Lover of purity,
remove all LUST from my heart,
so that I may serve You with a pure mind
and a chaste body.

O Father of the poor,
help me to avoid all COVETOUSNESS for earthly goods
and grant me a love for heavenly things.
Inspire me to give to the needy,
just as You gave Your life
that I might inherit eternal treasures.

O Exemplar of love,
keep me from all ENVY and ill-will.
Let the grace of Your love dwell in me
that I may rejoice in the happiness of others
and bewail their adversities.

O zealous Lover of souls,
keep me from all SLOTH of mind and body.
Inspire me with zeal for Your glory,
so that I may do all things for You
and in You.
Amen.
