Prayer for the Courage to be Great
Jesus says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
Pier Giorgio responds: “I beg you to pray for me a little, so that God may give me an iron will that does not bend and does not fail in His projects.”
Pause for a silent prayer and reflection.
Suggested additional reading: Psalm 51:10
We pray: Saint Pier Giorgio, lead me in the path of purity, for only those who are clean of heart can behold God’s face. Help me to be faithful to the covenant I have made with God in Baptism, that I may always be loyal to His commands and thus offer Him sincere worship. Show me by your life how to be single hearted and completely, unswervingly, dedicated to proclaiming the kingdom of God here on earth. O beloved Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is pure love and holiness, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (mention your request.) We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
