Prayer text
Jesus, form in me a pure and whole heart. Help me order my desires, flee the occasions that draw me away from You, and love people with respect. Give me perseverance whenever I begin again. Amen.
When to pray this prayer
Pray when you need to begin again, when you notice an occasion of sin, or when you want to love with greater freedom and purity of heart.
How to pray calmly
Find a possible place of silence, make the Sign of the Cross, read the prayer slowly, and pause on the phrases that speak most to your heart. There is no need to rush: a brief prayer made with attention is worth more than many words spoken without presence.
Small practical step
Remove one concrete occasion of falling and seek spiritual support if you have been struggling alone for a long time.
