Prayers for holiness are petitions to God to help us become more like Him and less like ourselves. We petition the Lord with prayers for holiness to ask Him for the grace to grow in holiness and overcome our vices.
Man by nature is made in the image and likeness of God, but it is by original sin we have become separated from God and have a fallen nature. When we seek to have relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ, Our Savior, we must aske for the grace to become holy and righteous.
Daily prayers for holiness are a wonderful way to establish a relationship with the Lord and a firm resolve to amend your life. It is through the act of surrendering our selfish will to the Lord that we are actually freed from our sinful habits. God desires relationship with you. He desires you to live a holy and virtuous life, but because you have the freedom to do as you wish, this also means you must recite prayers for holiness if you want to become more holy.
God is generous and gracious and when you pray and ask him to help you grow in virtue, and you show commitment to amend your life, He will give you all the grace you need. He truly loves you.
The Litany of Humility prayer is said in private devotion that helps you gain the virtue of humility and overcome pride.
“Jesus My Redeemer” is a prayer of praise repentance and love for private devotion. It begins: “My God, my most gracious good, I beg You to give me the grace to accept the gift You have freely offered me.”
