Hello again guys

I’m hoping I can actually make a change in my sinful porn addiction

I hope to tell a close guy friend
Pray I have the courage to tell him
And that I can actually overcome porn

I’m also afraid of asking my parents to take me to confession because we do not go regularly and I will stick out for wanting to go
They will know what I’ve done
Maybe my friend can take me one day

For my vocations I’m lost

I’ve lost a lot of self confidence for actually getting into a relationship and afraid of going through the cycle again

I don’t feel like I’m good enough to be priests

And single life while I could help people I don’t have faith in myself and feel like my life would be sad

Please pray I can work my life out
A lot messing with my brain and depression shrinks it too
 
Tell your confessor, not your “friend”.
Prayers offered.
 
A Prayer for Those Suffering Pornography Addiction
(To be said by the person suffering from the addiction.)

Jesus, lover of chastity, Mary, mother most pure,
and Joseph, the guardian of the Virgin, I earnestly
wish to be pure in thought, word, and deed.

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 Christ-like 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.

Heart of Jesus, Fount of All Purity, have mercy on us.

A Prayer Against Depression

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.
– By St. Ignatius of Loyola

Prayer for Discernment

God of Wisdom and Counsel,
You see in my heart a sincere desire to please You
alone and to conform myself entirely to Your holy Will
in the choice of my state in life. Grant me, I humbly
implore You, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin,
my Mother, and my holy Patrons, the grace to know
what state in life I should choose and to embrace it
when known, in order that I may seek Your glory and
increase it, work out my own salvation, and deserve
the heavenly reward which You have promised to those
who do Your Holy Will. In the name of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, through the Holy Spirit, amen.
 
Lord, please help this person find the right vocation for him. Help him resist temptations and overcome depression, Amen.

You are a Child of God living in the world and acting out worldly behavior. We are to live in the world but NOT BE OF THE WORLD.
Think of a Holy Saint. Keeping your mind, body and soul pure. That is to be us.
No sex till married. Why date before you can provide for a family. If you must borrow money for date, don’t date.
HS is not a place for relationships/dating. It is the time for career building. Teens are gawky and hormonal creatures. They could be a wealthy CEO or a criminal. Wait till college. A teens spiritual life is influx. Wait till maturity before you date. Girls are sex toys for raging hormones. Teen boys saying I LOVE YOU, don’t know what Love is! Don’t look for an attraction till your schooling is done and your career defined.
Lust is fantastic like LOVE FEELINGS. How can you tell??? LISTEN, If a couple stays pure, avoiding the OCCASSION of sin, overcoming TEMPTATION, that shows SELF-CONTROL!
Self Control is a gift of the Holy Spirit. That is love. You want each other. You never allow yourselves to be alone. You don’t french kiss or pet. Those are sins. If the guy or girl still stay in relationship. THAT IS LOVE!!
Lust will feel good. But you’ll be dumped when the thrill is gone.
Follow God’s rules. Life will be safer.
In Christs love

Pornography is in following celebrities that are in a state of undress, that gets you excited, is Porn.Are you doing anything that brings you to a state of arousal, is porn.
 
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.
Mary, concieved without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, 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 do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen.
 
I was hoping that when I tell him he can help me be accountable

And I would be more afraid to do it because I would have to tell him and control myself better

Is this a bad idea?
