I don’t mean to be a near occasion of sin so I will try to use as delicate of verbiage as I can. Since I was 11 I have suffered from unwanted same sex attraction. From my youth until I returned to the Lord in my mid-twenties I wallowed in that behavior with other people and impurity by myself. When I returned to the Lord as a Protestant back then, about 13 years ago, I slowly extricated myself with the help of the Lord from activity with other people, but even after converting in 2011 I have struggled with impure thoughts and actions alone and also with pornography. Although I always repented and made use of confession, I got serious about remaining perfectly chaste this Lent because I do love the Lord and don’t want to hurt Him anymore. It was smooth sailing until some serious trials came up last night in the form of memories. Thankfully through prayer to The Lord, asking The Blessed Mother, St. Micheal, St. Dominic Salvio, St. John Bosco, and my Guardian Angel to intercede for me I made it through and did not sinning by giving consent to the thoughts or taking further action on the trial. I am just worried about what I face up ahead. I believe my problem with the same sex attraction and attachment, if not addiction, to impurity with myself is rooted in immaturity of personality. Pray I will both be strengthened to control my thoughts and actions and that I will mature emotionally into the man that I am.
 
Praying for you. May God give you strength and love to do His will.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by 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.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense 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 God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
