I got really stressed out about an unforseen financial issue and I was tempted to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I think that I did consent to thinking the thought on purpose, but I didn’t direct it with all my heart at the Holy Spirit, so I think that it is forgivable, but it is still a serious sin. I wanted to ask for forgiveness and wanted to request your prayers. In regards to my OCD, I am getting help from my Priest and my Catholic Therapists, but it is still very hard to cope with on a regular basis. I really just need grace when I sin grievously, and when I’m in sin it is harder to pray, which is why I ask you guys for help. I hope it isn’t excessive, or drawing away from other who need it more. A quick prayer is perfectly fine.

I’m glad you’re seeking help. Had you ever considered medication?

Personally, I don’t think you’re responsible for any of this, that it’s your condition. If you’d like, you can apologize to God, then I hope you let it go, stop feeling so guilty for something that isn’t your fault.

Also, please don’t feel concerned about taking time away from others. If we can say a prayer for you, we’d be more than happy to do that. It’s so little to ask. I believe the others would agree.

Hail .Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blest 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. :gopray:
 
I will pray for you. Remember, we are ALL sinners, so you are in good company. But the fact that you saw the error of your ways shows your love for God. Hang in there my fellow sinner, learn to ask for forgiveness from God and then forgive yourself… Maybe God Bless you with his love and strength!
 
Lord, please grant Bdonoho many graces ever for faith, hope, love, joy, and temperance. Through this and all matters in this soul’s life, draw closer your heart and Bdonoho’s. Send angels to minister to Bdonoho in all occasions. Accept this petition in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Spare a foretaste of heaven’s light into this soul’s life, that the path to the eternal garden ever be illuminated. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. 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.

St. Michael the Archangel,

by the power of God, thrust into hell satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
Kyrie Eleison, Christi Eleison.

Gloria Patri, Et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.

God Bless you
 
I don’t think God gets “mad” at you. That’s giving Him human qualities and He is divine, not human. He loves you and waits for you to repent, if you have done something to repent of… We humans just cannot understand how much God loves us.

Try saying this little prayer before you go to sleep…

Prayer for daily neglects
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings and all its merits.
First — To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Second — To purify the good I have done poorly this day and during all my life. Glory Be, etc.
Third — To supply for the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected this day and all my life. Glory Be, etc.

Some books note concerning this Prayer for Daily Neglects that a Poor Clare nun claimed to have gone directly to Heaven upon her death, skipping purgatory completely through this prayer! (Editors hasten to add that this prayer is not meant to replace confession, however!)
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . 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
 
Sweetie, God isn’t angry with you. He can get angry, but he doesn’t get angry at people who love him and want to, and try to, do His will. Even St. Paul complained about sinning! I mean, you aren’t turning His House into a den of thieves, are you? So, have confidence in His help and the help of those he has sent you, and in yourself. I have to say I’m kind of doubtful that you actually sinned against the Holy Spirit. You need to go to confession, tell the priest exactly what you did, and he will tell you if you actually did. He should really be able to expound on what exactly sinning against the Holy Spirit is so you will have a clear understanding of it. It sounds like to me you didn’t; and if you did commit a different sin, why, you’ve taken care of it in confession! Isn’t God good?

Praying for your intentions.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard 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,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen

Amen

Praying for your strength, calm, your own forgiveness.
You have asked, and thus He loves you and is embracing you as only Our Father can.

God bless you.

For the past day of two, ever since my friend has considered becoming protestant, I’ve been dealing with my baggage as a Calvinist, and one of the things that has followed me is this jealousy that the Holy Spirit granted these wonderful moments of conversion to others and I felt left behind. I thought of it today and I then thought a blasphemy against the Spirit, which I believe that I consented to. I then fell into this hardness of heart and began having all sorts of hateful thoughts towards God. I realized what was happening and asked my Priest to pray for me, and since then I have had hope again. I’m going to get some blood work done and see if there are any mental issues I need to deal with. To answer Clearwater, I’m on Effexor and Adderal, as well as Vitamin D and Iron supplements. I realize that this is a cross I have been given, and by God’s grace, I will continue to carry it.
