Any prayers for my problem?

[jonathan2013]

I’m 14, and I consider myself a devout Catholic. I had never masturbated, and I knew that it was wrong. Then one day, I just did it, and I felt awful afterwards. I finally understood why the Catholic church is so against it: it truly is wrong, and makes you feel terrible. I haven’t had any urges after that one time(if anything, I’ve felt sick over the thought of masturbation), so I do not believe it is an addiction. However, since I had full knowledge of my sin, it is a mortal sin, and I need help to be forgiven. My parish does not offer regular confessionals, so I do not know when I can confess. So until then, are there any special prayer I can say to ask for God’s forgiveness?

Thank you, and God Bless.

I am not sure of any prayers, so perhaps someone else can help you there.

If your Parish does not offer regular confessions, call them and schedule one. They should be willing to set one up for you. Additionally, have you tried looking at other Parishes in the area? A good site to look at is masstimes.org, which shows times each Parish in an area offers confession (along with, of course, mass times).

I hope this helps! I will be saying a prayer for you.

Hail Mary…
