The Purity of Holy Fear

A prayer acknowledging the righteousness and purity of God's judgments.

Lord, help me remember that the fear of you is pure, and that your judgments are entirely true and righteous. Amen.

Courage in God Alone

A petition for the grace to fear only God and avoid offending Him.

O Lord, grant me the grace to carry myself with courage, so that I may fear no one but You, and nothing but that which offends You, even for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Read the original Latin

LOrd, make me remember that the fear of thee is clean, and that thy Judgments are true and righteous altogether. Amen.

O Lord, give me that grace that I may so carry my self, and that courage that I may so bear up my self, as that I may fear none but thee, nothing but that wherein I offend thee, even for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.
