It’s been almost one and a half months since my last confession. In the interim I’ve relapsed into looking at pornography and I’ve been having doubts about God’s existence. Honestly atheism makes zero sense, but when I pray or read Scripture a flood of doubt comes into my mind: that I’m lying to myself, it’s just wishful thinking, etc. Please pray for me that God will give me a greater faith and trust in Him.

*O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because You have revealed them Who are eternal truth and wisdom, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.*
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death,
Amen
 
Prayer for Inactive Catholics

Christ Jesus, Head of the Body, the Church,
You so loved the world
You gave your life to redeem us
And restored us to Your friendship.

Give us, we pray, the grace we need
To speak lovingly and confidently
A word of invitation to inactive Catholics
To return to the practice of their faith.

Make us instruments of Your welcome and peace.
Bring back to the fold
all who have been hardened by the world
Or wounded by the Church.
May they know the joy of reconciliation with You
And join us once more at the Table of the Eucharist.

Use us as messengers of your love
To reach out to inactive Catholics,
To marginalized Catholics,
And to anyone searching for a faith community
They can call “Home.”

Grace Your Church with new members
Strong in the practice of their faith
And in their devotion to the Eucharist.

Help us grow in love for one another
And for the Most Holy Name of Jesus
In whose Name we offer this prayer. Amen.

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
Praying for you…
  • Pater noster, qui es in cælis: Sanctificétur nomen tuum:
    Advéniat regnum tuum: Fiat vóluntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.
    Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie:
    Et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.
    Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: Sed líbera nos a malo.
    Amen.

    Áve María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum;
    benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Jésus.
    Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus,
    nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstræ.
    Ámen.
