Almighty Lord, I know that it was through penance and mortification that your holy martyrs overcame the disorder of their burning passions and that during their lifetime they received Your help because they opened their hearts and minds to Your Spirit. Help me to truly understand that I am the temple of Your Holy Spirit and to open my mind and heart to Your presence. I know that You desire only that I come to know You as my loving God. As I request Your help, O God, I offer my praise to You, Who I know to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not only now but forever and ever. Amen.
