Hello,

I am asking again for prayer on the matter of my pastor’s wife. My attractions and thoughts about her have continued to diminish, which is great. My prayer request, now, is for her, that she would desire to be disciplined about being faithful to her husband in her heart.

As part of the background to this story, I am someone who has struggled with same-sex attractions at different points in my life. I think that others have known this about me (whether by intuition or by me telling them), and one of those people is my pastor. One time at a dinner party, he told a story about his cousin, who also struggles with same-sex attraction. The pastor said, “I know he wasn’t born that way, because he used to have a huge crush on my wife, and, to be honest with you, I would rather have him feel that way for my wife than for any guys.” Perhaps the same kind of reasoning has been going through his mind in this particular case. If that is so, I appreciate his reasoning, but I don’t want to be attached to his wife, even if it means that I am showing a movement away from same-sex attractions. Does that make sense?

Please continue to keep this matter in your prayers.

Thanks,

Dan

Amen.
 
Mother Mary, I commend Dan to you. May he love our Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength, and seek first God’s kingdom and justice. May he keep from all impurity and avoid all unnecessary near occassions of sin. Help him to occupy himself with prayer, spiritual reading and good works; help him not to spend time thinking about dangerous things. Amen.
 
Blessed Saint Joseph,
your intercession can make possible impossible things
come to help me in these moments of anguish and hardship.
Take under your protection
the difficult and grave situations I commend to you,
so they have a happy solution according to God’s will.

My beloved father:
I trust you entirely
and abandon myself as a small child
sleeping in his dad’s arms.

That could not be said I appealed to you in vain.
And as you, through the Lord,
can everything accomplish in front of Jesus and Mary,
show me your kindness is as greater as your power.

Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
