Please pray for me, I have watched porn, I confessed the sin but still feel depressed and heavy.
 
When I confessed to the ex-Bishop of my diocese, he told me that pornography causes depression.

prayers for you to progress towards purity, and that the Lord would comfort you in depression
 
guilt causes depression.

porn is a huge temptation and is only a push button away,

you looked, you didn’t kill anybody.

you were sorry and confessed. don’t beat yourself up.

you’re human.

move on and live.
 
Dear Lord, Please help your servant to become whole; may his discovery of his dependence upon you help him to grow ever closer in our love. “Strength is made perfect in weakness…” may he find his strength in you.
Mother Mary, may you be the model of woman perfected that Faith Seeker turns to as he seeks new way of relating to women. May he look for ways to help and suport the women he meets tomorrow. May the smile, the nod to a stranger be the start of a new way of interacting that will help to bring him (and those he meets) ever closer to your son.
Amen.
 
Depression and sadness? This could be from the evil one or from pride.

Think of the lepers (image of impure sin) just cleansed by Jesus, were they sad/depressed? No, they could not contain their joy and publicized Christ’s good works despite being told otherwise.

So when we get the absolution we are to go and sin no more and:

Ps51:12-13
Be my savior again, renew my joy,
keep my spirit steady and willing;
and I shall teach transgressors the way to you,
and to you the sinners will return.

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 death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us!
 
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
 
Lord, may TrueFaithSeeker find in Mother Mary his refuge and hope. May he deepen his devotion to her and receive her maternal assistance. May he be sure to pray the Rosary every day for purity and for his other needs. Mother of holy purity, I recommend TrueFaithSeeker to you. Please intercede for him and wrap your mantle of love and purity around him to protect him from the Evil One. Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.
 
O my Jesus,
Forgive us our sins.
Save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to Heaven,
Especially those in most need of
Thy Mercy.
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
