I have been in a constant struggle with things and thoughts that I know are not pleasing to Our Lord. It is as though I Am being bombarded with thoughts that I hould not be having. I almot feel as though God has had enough and is tired of giving me graces that I let go to waste. I hope this make sense. I ask PLEASE for prayers So I can feel that God is there and giving me the strength that I know I dont have to avoid these temptations and The grace to feel His Love
THANK YOU
 
Remember that God is allways near even when it dosent feel that way. He loves the sinner, but hates the sins. So seek the Lord and he will give you Grace.

I humbly pray to you Our Blessed Mother for papadave that he will feel the love and Grace of your Son Our Lord Jesus and that he will find Peace in Christ. Heavently Mother Pray for us that we never forget Our God and remember him in our struggles as well as in our joy. Pray for us that Jesus may have mercy on us poor sinners,Through him Christ our Lord. 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.
 
Come, Holy Spirit
Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.
Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm.
Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence.
Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.
Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace.
Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.
Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth.
Replace the night within us with your light.
Replace the winter within us with your spring.
Straighten our crookedness.
Fill our emptiness.
Dull the edge of our pride.
Sharpen the edge of our humility.
Light the fires of our love.
Quench the flames of our lust.
Let us see ourselves as you see us
That we may see You.

Amen!
 
Memorare to Mary

*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.*

That is fine. Don’t blame yourself, and don’t blame the good Lord without whose constant loving care you would not be struggling (that is, striving for sanctity) but you’d be a slave to the most base wordliness.

In weakness you should instead rejoice! If you are strong and no temptations come to you, where is your merit? If you do not carry a cross, how do you resemble the Beloved? As St. John of the Cross once said:
  • In perfect love
this law holds:

that the lover become

like the one he loves;

for the greater their likeness

the greater their delight. *

And there is truly great reason to rejoice when you are being thus tempted so harshly and your imperfections and frailty and weakness are so clear and humiliating - for only then are these words of Christ addressed to you: “my grace is enough for you, for in weakness my power is made perfect”.

Do not be disturbed. Let the thoughts come and let them flow through. Let them be like that time when you were caught outside in the rain…let the temptations flow down like water droplets…never forgetting that the mystical body of Christ is impermeable to those spiritual droplets and that soon enough, in the fullness of time, the loving light of brother sun will dry them and warm you up.

Almighty, ever-living God, You give strength to the weary and new courage to those who have lost heart. Hear the prayers of all who call on You in any trouble that they may have the joy of receiving Your help in their need. Amen.
