My glorious and well-beloved patron, St. Alphonsus, you have toiled and suffered abundantly to assure to men the fruits of the Redemption. Behold the miseries of my poor soul and have pity on me. By your powerful intercession with Jesus and Mary, obtain for me true repentance for my sins together with their pardon and remission, a deep hatred of sin, and strength ever more to resist all temptations. Share with me, I pray, at least a spark of that fire of love with which your heart always burned. Grant that, following your example, I may make the will of God the only rule of my life. Obtain for me also a fervent and lasting love of Jesus, and a tender and childlike devotion to Mary, together with the grace to pray without ceasing and to persevere in the service of God even to the end of my life, that I may finally be united with you in praising God and most holy Mary through all eternity. Amen.
