A Catholic Apologist's
Daily Prayer

Grant, O Lord, that none

may love Thee less this day

because of me.

That never a word or act of mine

may turn one soul from Thee;

and, ever daring, yet one more

grace I would implore,

that many souls this day,

because of me,

may love Thee more.

Amen.

— Rev. James D. Watkins, comp., Manual of Prayers (Chicago: Midwest Theological Forum, 1998), 70.
