“Above all, it is necessary to ask of God every morning the gift of perseverance, and to beg of the Blessed Virgin to obtain it for you, and particularly in the time of temptation, by invoking the name of Jesus and Mary as long as the temptation lasts. Happy the man who will continue to act in this manner, and shall be found so doing when Jesus Christ shall come to judge him. ‘Blessed is that servant, whom, when his Lord shall come, he shall find so doing’ (Matthew 24:46).”
St. Alphonso De Liguori, p. 167 The Sermons of St. Alphonso
Suggested Prayer: Jesus, Mary, be my help in times of temptation. Amen
