A Prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori-Make Me a Saint
Oh my God, help me to remember that time is short, and eternity is long.
What good is all the greatness of this world at the hour of death?
To love You, my God, and save my soul is the one thing necessary.
Without You, there is no peace, no joy.
My God, I need fear nothing but sin.
For to lose You, my God, is to lose everything.
Oh my God, help me to remember that to gain everything I must leave everything;
That in loving you I have all good things; the infinite riches of Christ and His Church,
the motherly protection of Mary,
peace beyond understanding, Joy unspeakable!
Eternal Father, your Son has promised that whatever we ask in His Name will be given to us.
In His Name I pray: give me a burning faith, a joyful hope, a holy love for Jesus Christ.
Give me the grace of perseverance in doing Your will in all things.
Do with me what You will. I repent of having offended You.
Grant, Oh Lord, that I may love You always and never let me be separated from You.
O my God and my All, make me a Saint.
