Well, I’ve been having a severe bout with scrupulosity lately, and it’s very difficult. Please pray for me.
 
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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.
 
God, You know that I deeply regret my sins and failures. You know that I am often saddened by my mistakes and inability to achieve much that might please You or bless others.

Yet You know my resurgent desire to live Your commandments of love for God, for others and for myself as You love me. I know that You pardon my sins and heal the damage they cause.

I ask that You will love and delight Yourself in me who seems intrinsically unimportant, one of countless billions of average persons throughout time.

I ask that in Your merciful love, You will give me true faith in You and true knowledge of You; You make me a living tabernacle, an overflowing chalice of Your love, a powerhouse of prayer, and an open doorway to God for others.

I trust in You…for “God is asking me, the unworthy, to forget my unworthiness and that of my brothers, and to dare to advance in the love which has redeemed and renewed us all in God’s likeness…to laugh, after all, at the preposterous idea of ‘worthiness’” **Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, Thomas Merton. **

I trust these things tof Your great LOVE in whom “everything is possible”.
 
Prying you find a good spiritual director/confessor to help you conquer your scrupulosity. Praying that you can read a copy of Fr. Thomas Santa’s book called Understanding Scrupulosity.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Amen.
