I'm so nihilistic and cynical

that my motto has practically become “all truth hurts and happiness is a lie”. And you can imagine how that’s getting in the way of my spiritual life. I seem to reject all consolations and sentiments and joy and peace as some kind of mediocre delusion and I pretty much exalt anything painful and cynical as excellent and true. I think I spent too much time around internet atheists from my generation to tell you the truth, and now my social anxieties are tied up in some sort of peer pressure.

Please pray for me, and recommend some saints that I can pray to as well.
 
Awww WoundedIcon…

:console::crossrc:

Sure I’ll add you to my prayers, right away!

St. Michael the Archangel is the go-to saint for spiritual warfare.

St. Michael defend us!
 
You have indicated previously that you have some depression.
That can have such a numbing effect upon a person’s emotions.
One can only suggest that each day you find something that is good and beautiful, however small, and even if you don’t feel it at least acknowledge that it is good and beautiful, at least intellectually, as a strategy of intellectual thankfulness to God.
May God bless and guide you.

Jesus, I trust in thee. May your light shine in the darkness for WoundedIcon and guide him to You.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

St. Michael the Archangel, please pray for us in our daily battle so that we may not perish in the last judgement. Amen.

St. Therese, St. Benedict Joseph Labre, St. Faustina, please pray for WoundedIcon.

St. John the Baptist, on this day, the Memorial of your Martyrdom, please pray for WoundedIcon. May he have the discernment and courage to call evil evil and good good. May his eyes be opened to truth, beauty and goodness and may he be guided by his Guardian Angel to chose the good. Amen.

St. Therese, please join in my prayers that wounded icon will find hope where he has found despair. May he be able to celebrate the little things in life and credit Our Lord with each tiny victory. May the cross serve as his refuge, the empty tomb as his inspiration. May the Eucharist be his strength and his shield. Amen.
 
Mother Mary, I commend WoundedIcon to you. May he/she be delivered from this anguish by means of the faithful recitation of the Holy Rosary. Please intercede for him/her and help him/her to love our Lord with all his/her heart, mind, soul and strength. Amen.
