So about two years ago I went through a period of depression. I had gotten my head caught up in all the conspiracy stories about Our Lady of Fatima, leading to a terrible fear of annihiliation that I bottled up inside until one day I think I was about to get in the shower and suddenly I started to sob. I begged God to give me strength, and multiple times sought different priests and different parishes trying to escape from this inner turmoil.

And then with that came fear of the unforgivable sin. Thinking that in those months I had at points fallen into despair over the stories of Vatican deception and all that. Again, I consulted priests over it, but it took a while for it to desolve. Every now and then I start thinking about it, and one day this image flashed through my head as I thought about the Immaculate Conception, a very graphic and vulgar image involving the Virgin Mary and the Holy Ghost. Those fears came back again. The thought that in a single moment, I might have made it possible for me to never reach Heaven. This feeling like as hard as I reached out for God something alien to me continued to thrash against me and draw me away. The image still flashes every now and then when I remember this. But I know now that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost isn’t something as simple as a thought or a mental image.

I had to go through it alone on the inside. One day at a time. And yet almost every day still feels like a struggle. Not just against depression, but a struggle against temptation, sin, doubt. I never want to find myself in a position like that again, a pure sickness of the soul. And so every night, I pray to the God I so desperately want to have complete faith in and in return to hear me for the same things.

For peace of mind, for peace of spirit. For strength of faith, of will, of hope.

For anyone who has ever felt something similar or has gone through depression, and needs that spiritual pick me up that I so desperately needed, I ask that that you pray for them.
 
A Prayer for Peace of Mind

Almighty God, We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not that faithful to you. Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives.

Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on.

Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A pray to Heal Stress

Heavenly Father, please grant me peace of mind and calm those with a troubled heart. Their soul are like a turbulent sea. They can’t seem to find their balance so they stumble and worry constantly. Give them the strength and clarity of mind to find their purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for them. I trust your Love God, and know that you will heal their stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring them clarity with the light of God. In your name I pray, 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 To St. Josemaria Escriva

St. Josemaria Escriva, we humbly implore you for your prayers and intercession. As the founder of Opus Dei, you saw the beauty and sanctity to be gained in living our daily lives for God. Help us as we struggle through our crosses today- the little irritations that grate, the people who annoy, the situation that didn’t go our way, the exhaustion at the end of the day. You were able to see God’s will in every aspect of your life. Help us as we fight our concupiscence, our cowardice, our tendency to take the path of least resistance, as we attempt to follow Jesus on the way of the cross. I ask you especially to pray for all who have asked for prayers on the forum today, for my loved ones, and for all those for whom I am obligated to pray. Keep us within your heart on this your feast day, and pray for us to the Father in union with Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Josemaria Escriva, pray for us!
 
Saying prayers for you.

The Lord bless you, and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and grant you peace.
 
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world…

Our Father
Hail Mary x10
Glory Be
Fatima
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 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 our death, Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Blessed Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful-
Mother and love the weary, abused, neglected
or forgotten among us-
Give your aid to all needing help or healing-
Assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering-
Be with those needing peace-
Console the lonely or brokenhearted-
Comfort the lost or hopeless-
Strengthen the fearful-
Guard the unborn-
Pray for those who are dying or who have died-
Soften those with hardened hearts-
Enlighten those who do not yet see truth-
Help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go-
Show us the way to do the right thing-
Protect those who are in danger, and
Guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen :gopray2:
 
Dear Jesus, please send healing and calm immediately to Samwise21 who is fighting a difficult battle with mental disturbances. Please bless and strengthen them and help them to overcome their illness, and guide them to find the best medical care and treatment to feel better. In Jesus’ Name we humbly pray. Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, o Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who wander through this world seeking the ruin of souls. And please especially cast into hell immediately the demon who is tormenting Samwise21 with the disturbing and blasphemous image of the Virgin Mary and free Samwise21 from this thought and all other similar thoughts that disturb and shock. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace
from Catholictradition.org

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility and
Mother of Hope,
look upon Samwise21 in this time
of disquiet and weakness.
Still their restless spirit,
teach their searching heart to know
that God’s love for them
is unchanging and that the suffering
which He may will for them now
is to draw them closer to Him.
Let thy gentle peace and His —
which the world cannot give —
be always with Samwise21, that they may
be sanctified: and then, I beseech thee
to give Samwise21 the grace to bring this peace to others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace, please pray for this intention.
St. Joseph, please pray for this intention.
St. Dymphna, please pray for this intention.
Thank you. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

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.
