LITANY OF PURITY
Intention
For the sick, the suffering, and for all who will die today, due to the influence of pornography.
Prayer for Souls in Need
Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with all the Holy Sacrifices of the Mass said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, in my own home and in my family. Please grant to all, through Your Holy Spirit, awareness that pornography is a great evil, destroying human lives, body and soul. Grant that Christians, in whom dwells the Light of Christ, may so share His Light of Truth and His Holy Love, that the pure love of God and neighbor supplants all desire for the unholiness of porn. Please, dear God, heal all who have been harmed by pornography. Amen.
The Word of the Lord
A reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Philippians: "And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."
(Philip. 1:9-11 Ignatius Bible)
A reading from the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Thessalonians:
"For this is the Will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God; that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, Who gives His Holy Spirit to you."
(1Thess. 4-3-8 Ignatius Bible)
A reading from the Gospel of St. Matthew: "Blessed are the pure in spirit, for they shall see God."
(St. Matthew 5:8 Ignatius Bible)

Amen.
O Kind and Gentle Jesus, most merciful Savior, to atone for our sins, you suffered in the Flesh for us, with a Love beyond all telling. Remove all obstacles that hinder us from enjoying, and living in, Your Most Pure and Holy Love. By Your grace, and through the teachings of Your Ho!y Church, restore to each human soul the right and holy conscience with which You gifted Adam and Eve before the Fall. Amen.
