In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O glorious Saint Benedict, sublime model of all virtues, pure vessel of God’s grace. Here I am, humbly prostrate before you. I implore your heart full of love to intercede for me before the divine throne of God.

I have recourse to you in all the dangers that surround me daily. Protect me against my enemies, against the evil enemy in all his forms, and inspire me to imitate you in all things. Deliver me from all the vanities of the world.

Be my shield against envy, evil desires, selfishness, and the various forms of evil that come from those who are far from God. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may flee from all that is not pleasing to God and thus avoid the occasions of sin. Humble Saint Benedict, I ask you sweetly to obtain for me from God the favors and graces that I so need in the trials, miseries, and afflictions of life.

Your heart was always so full of love, compassion, and mercy towards those who were afflicted or in trouble of any kind. You have never dismissed without comfort and assistance anyone who has come to you. Therefore, I invoke your powerful intercession, with hope and trust that you will hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I so earnestly implore, if it is for the greater glory of God and the good of my soul.

Help me, O great Saint Benedict, to live and die as a faithful son of God, to be always submissive to his holy will, to achieve the eternal happiness of heaven. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
