Catholic Prayers to Guide Your Words

These Catholic prayers seek the Holy Spirit’s help to speak with wisdom, charity, and self-control. They aim to purify our speech so our words bring encouragement, truth, and peace instead of harm or gossip. Included are the Prayer for the Control of the Tongue attributed to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the Purify Speech prayer from the Golden Manual, a scriptural invocation from Psalm 141:3, and a liturgical prayer used before proclaiming the Gospel. Use these brief petitions before speaking to ask God to guard your lips and fill your mouth with right words. Let each prayer remind you to speak truthfully, kindly, and in a way that builds up others.
