June 29 San Pietro e Paolo. Prayer for help

O Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, I do not elect you today and forever as mine

special protectors and lawyers, and I humbly rejoice, so much with you, O San Pietro

Prince of the Apostles, because you are that stone on which God built his Church,

who with you, o Saint Paul, chosen by God as the vessel of choice and preacher of the truth,

and please obtain my living faith, firm hope and perfect charity, total detachment from

myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity and humility in prosperity,

attention in prayer, purity of heart, right intention in working,

diligence in fulfilling the obligations of my state, constancy in the proposals,

resignation to the will of God, and perseverance in divine grace until death.

And so, through your intercession, and your glorious merits, overcome temptations

of the world, of the devil and of the flesh, be made worthy to come before the presence

of the supreme and eternal Shepherd of souls, Jesus Christ, who

with the Father and with the Holy Spirit he lives and reigns over the centuries, to enjoy it

and love him eternally. So be it. Pater, Ave and Gloria.
