Lord please protect this loved person in every need and in every temptation.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen
Pope Leo XIII
Temptations: loving solutions
Loving God, You do not wish us to succumb to sin, guilt or anxiety. You wish us to hope in Your mercy. When we are tempted against goodness, please unfold loving solutions in us through wisdom, trust, prayer and thanksgiving.
In temptations against charity, let us invite You to love through us aptly and sensitively.
In doubt or discouragement, let us affirm faith.
Let temptations of pride remind us that we are called to serve each other in mutual charity.
Let temptations against humility and obedience cause us to rejoice that God Incarnate obeyed humbly for our sakes.
In temptations against purity of intention, inspire us to focus our hearts and minds on You, in order to share in Your divine life, in harmony with everyone who seeks God.
In temptations against chastity, fill us with respect — for where others attract us, we honour You who love them. Let each temptation against chastity become the joyful victory of Your love in souls moving towards You in spiritual company of loved fellow humans!
Loving God, in our temptations let us be trusting and peaceful, for You are God who loves us.
Let the loving solutions that You offer us in our difficulties, serve to recreate and unite us in the communion of Saints and Angels.
Let goodness be wrought out of all temptation so that Your kingdom triumphs over everything that seeks its destruction.
