Seeing these prayer requests. I notice this part of the forum has the most posts by far. Goes to show we are all so broken. I’d like to request assistance with defending against an affection for sin. It follows a familiar cycle, and steals my joy. It truly cripples me. Thank you all so much.
 
Sincerest Prayers:
Our Father who art in heaven…
Hail Mary, full of grace… Hail Mary, full of grace… Hail Mary, full of grace…
Glory Be to the Father…
Amen…
 
For BlackIce71:

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 prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.
 
**Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen**
 
Prayer for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, divine Consoler, we adore You
as our true God, with God the Father and
God the Son. We adore You and unite
ourselves to the adoration You receive
from the angels and saints.

We give You our hearts and we offer
our ardent thanksgiving for all the grace
which You never cease to bestow on us.

O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who
filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God, with such immense favors,
we beg You to visit us with Your grace and
Your love and to grant us the gift of holy
fear, so that it may act on us as a check to
prevent us from falling back into our past sins,
for which we beg pardon.

Grant us the gift of piety, so that we may
serve You for the future with increased fervor,
follow with more promptness Your holy
inspirations, and observe Your divine precepts
with greater fidelity.

Grant us the gift of knowledge, so that we
may know the things of God and, enlightened
by Your holy teaching, may walk, without
deviation, in the path of eternal salvation.

Grant us the gift of fortitude, so that we
may overcome courageously all the assaults
of the devil, and all the dangers of this world,
which threaten the salvation of our souls.

Grant us the gift of counsel, so that we may
choose what is more conducive to our spiritual
advancement and may discover the wiles
and snares of the tempter.

Grant us the gift of understanding, so that
we may apprehend the divine mysteries and
by contemplation of heavenly things detach
our thoughts and affections from the vain
things of this miserable world.

Grant us the gift of wisdom, so that we may
rightly direct all our actions, referring them to
God as our last end; so that, having loved
Him and served Him in this life, we may
have the happiness of possessing Him
eternally in the next. Amen.

I know that familiar cycle all too well. True, we are all broken, but we have each other as fellow members of the body of Christ, with him as the head. Praying for you.

Divine Mercy Chaplet

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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.

Prayer to St. Joan of Arc

In the face of your enemies, in the face of harassment, ridicule, and doubt, you held firm in your faith.
Even in your abandonment, alone and without friends, you held firm in your faith.
Even as you faced your own mortality, you held firm in your faith.
I pray that I may be as bold in my beliefs as you, St. Joan.
I ask that you ride alongside me in my own battles.
Help me be mindful that what is worthwhile can be won when I persist.
Help me hold firm in my faith. Help me believe in my ability to act well and wisely.
Amen.
