For Encouragement

[Cruxis117]

I was reminded of having committed a horrible sin of blasphemy towards the Blessed Virgin Mary by a particular enemy of mine. I did go to confession at the time it happened, but when the person reminded me of having done that, I felt guilt and shame. I was wondering if you could please pray for me, that the Lord could give me strength and encouragement at this time.

Dear God, give me courage for, perhaps, I lack it more than anything else! I need courage before men against their threats and their seductions. I need courage to bear unkindness, mockery, contradictions; I need courage to fight against the devil, against terrors, troubles, temptations, attractions, darkness and false lights; against tears, depression and, above all, fear.

I need Thy help, dear God! Strengthen me with Thy Love and Thy Grace! Console me with Thy blessed presence and grant me the courage to persevere until I am with Thee, forever, in Heaven! Amen.

St. Joan of Arc pray for us!

 

[ready]

I entrust you to the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May she help you to have resilience and a healthy sorrow for your sins. May you not let the devil have his way with you; may the grace of God and your love for God and Mother Mary get you past this trial. Amen.
