Dear friend, all of us struggle with one sin or another. Don’t be ashamed.
Prayer to Halt Smoking
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Through the grace of your purity,
may this unclean habit cease.
From the stench of smoke, the foul taste in our mouths,
the stains on our hands and teeth, Pray for us.
From coughing and phlegm, from polluted blood,
from heart and lung disease, Pray for us.
From habit and slavery, Pray for us.
From tension, fear, and anxiety, Pray for us.
For health and calm and peace, Pray for us.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that,
by Christ redeemed, we choose to live in purity.
Amen.
A Prayer for Those Suffering Pornography Addiction
Jesus, Lover of chastity,
Mary, Mother most pure,
and Joseph, chaste guardian of the Virgin,
to you I ask at this hour,
begging you to plead with God for me.
I earnestly wish to be pure in thought,
word and deed in imitation of your own holy purity.
Obtain for me, then, a deep sense of modesty
which will be reflected in my external conduct.
Protect my eyes, the windows of my soul,
from anything that might dim the luster of a heart
that must mirror only Christlike purity.
And when the “Bread of Angels” becomes
the “Bread of Me” in my heart at Holy Communion,
seal it forever against the suggestions of sinful pleasures.
Amen.
