After a horrible experience of doubt I returned to God through sincerely asking Mary to pray for my forgiveness. I then started to think presumptuously , that praying to Mary is my ticket out of anything. I feel like I was being presumptuous and that I disrespected my Mother. I also think I blasphemed God by entertaining evil thoughts about the Holy Spirit. I wanted to ask for prayer that I would be forgiven for the sins I’m guilty of, and the grace to recognize how much of this is real sin. Thank you for your love and patience .
 
Your mother Mary loves you.
Please do not fall into the trap of second guessing every prayer.
God knows you heart. Not all of us eel like we craft the most perfect prayers. Children just cry out to their parents. God is the same. He listens, He shows compassion, He hears your prayer.
I see that you are about to enter RCIA. The prince of lies would love for you to just give up on God.
Don’t.
As our friend on here always says:
GOD LOVES YOU.
Peace.
 
Than you,
I think it was worse than just not praying the right way. I think I believed that praying to Mary would get me out of anything, and then I started entertaining all these blasphemous thoughts with that presumption. The consolations I received earlier were gone, and I still have this sense that I have slighted Our Lord and His Mother for seeking to use Her like that. She is not a vending machine, and praying to her is not like a magic spell that will always obtain what I want. She is a person, who I sinned against and I am afraid of the damage it has done to my heart. I am seeking to repent of the damage I have done to my relationship with God, and I thank you for your prayers.
 
Today, Good Friday is a day for laying your burden at the foot of the Cross.
Go to your local Catholic Church and pour you heart out to the Lord.
The sadness you feel at disappointing God (and Our Lady) is something that we all feel when we sin.
Cry out to her in love, and ask her to shield you with her mantle.
Cry out to Jesus crucified, and ask for His blessing.
All will be well.
God bless you. I will light a candle for you and your intentions tonight at the church.
 
Today, FAST, even tho you didn’t until NOW,
fast and THANK GOD for sparing your LIFE,
that you DO have a chance to REPENT!

Eternal God in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us,
that in the difficult moments in life
we will not despair, nor be despondent,
but with great confidence, submit to your holy will,
which is love and mercy itself!
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.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Lord grant peace of mind and hear for Bdonoho, and don’t let him see sin where it is not, but the grace to discern with peace and hope.
Bless Bdonoho’s life, family, and work.

Thank you all for your prayers and kindness. I have been suffering from spiritual attack and prompting a that are leading me to abandon the Catholic Church for fear of sinning against the Holy Spirit. I received a powerful spiritual experience that led me to a deep sense of forgiveness and conviction of sin, and any time I seek to follow God I am given these promptings that the experience I had can’t be found in the Catholic Church. I really need your prayer and the intercession of the saints to protect me from delusion and deception. ((Quote: I thought I should post this in another thread since it’s a different intention, would that be ok?))
 
So, I am not sure if you are already in the Catholic church (somebody wrote something about you being about to enter RCIA) and if you are allowed already to go to confession? Because if you are of course confession is where to go for forgiveness :). In any case you can speak to a priest and ask for a blessing maybe?

And I will pray the Lord that He will lead you on the right way 🙂

ALL THE BEST!!!

I think you don’t quite understand what the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means.

even presumption and despair can be forgiven, when you feel sorry for that. so stop being so guilty, just avoid doing that in the future, go to confession when posible and continue your life knowing that God forgave you.
 
Ok when you are not catholic yet you can still talk to a priest for guidance, outside of confession :). I think that might really help you find some peace…
 
I will pray again for you Bdonoho,

Saint Michael the archangel,
protect Bdonoho in battle,
be his/er protection against the schemes and wickedness of the devil,
and may God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, thrust into hell,
satan and all evil spirits who prowl
about the earth seeking 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.
