Dear friends,
Please pray for me, since I found out that offenses against chastity are mortal sins, my mental health got worse, I already have OCD that makes me repeat a word multiple times in order to get it right like “Father” because I suspect I said fazer and it won’t be answered. But since that knowledge matters got worse, I’ve confessed multiple times and felt better, the trend went down but never vanished yet and since my last confession, I failed once, I’ve been trying to confess since, but what triggers it is end of times discussions and since I visited the thread yeasterday, things got worse.
I felt numb, crippled by fear, shortness of breath, slept all the times in order not to sin, cried multiple times and several other manifestations. Went to church, found no priest, stood next to the confessional, said that I am very sorry and trying to hold my tears and keep appearance in my workplace.

Please pray for me because I cannot afford psychiatric help and afraid that I am going to hell.
 
Avoid things that make you feel bad, like certain threads. Prayers said for you,

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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon JosephHope in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Prayer Against Depression
………….By St Ignatius of Loyola

O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.

Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús
(Santa Teresa de Ávila)
 
Go to Catholic Charities. Tell them of your situation.
You need to see a psychiatrist for medication and a therapist for help. They should be able to provide you with low-cost treatment.

Make appt. with your priest for help, too.

Most hospital have financial counseling and free care programs. Make an appt. to ask them for help.

Your local St.Vincent de Paul group helps people pay bill, too.

Please get help. OCD is a serious problem.

Be balanced.

Jesus said to confess at the next reasonably possible opportunity.
If you are truly sorry and don’t make it to confession, or there is no priest, Jesus accepts your desire to go to confession, (even though you have yet to confess).

We do need to go to confession when a mortal sin has been committed.
Maybe stick to a certain day each week to go to confession, eg: Fridays, (so as not to end up going everyday out of fear?)

Just trust Jesus where you are, tell Him you know He will forgive you at your next confession time. Make an act of contrition where you are resolve to keep virtue, and be at peace always.
 
St. Michael the archangel, defend JosephHope in
battle, be JosephHope’s defense against the snares

all evil spirits who prowl about the earth seeking
the ruin of souls!!
Amen,
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with 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 thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Now and at the hour of our death. 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.
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to his assistance.

Thank you guys for all your prayers, it helped me greatly and this morning I went to church and took Communion having faith that God forgave me and that I will try to confess in the next couple of days if I find a confessor, I 'll try going to another church for confession in the next couple of days.
But minutes ago, I was browsing online and just found some articles about Fatima and that the world would end soon, I live in a crippling fear as I type, I don’t feel my legs, I am shaking and trembling, I can’t breath, I am losing my mind and I’m at work. Please pray for me.
 
The Lord can make the Valley of Achor(trouble)
into a door of Hope for you!! See Hosea 2:15

Our Father, who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your Name,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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,
(forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors)
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Remember, O gracious Virgin Mary,
that never has it been known that
anyone who has fled to you for pro-
tection, implored your help or sought
your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly to
you O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you 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.
 
Thank you for your prayers, I am feeling a little better, may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your families.
Every time I feel better, some other sin that I committed comes to mind.
Pray that I find a confessor as soon as possible.
 
It never rains but POURS!! sometimes we
are deluged by disabling sins, have courage
my brother/sister in the Faith, God will GIVE
you the strength and courage to brave the
wildest storm!!

Lord, I’m unworthy that You should enter
under my roof, but only say the word and
my soul shall be healed!
Amen.

Our Father, who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your Name,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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.
