I was baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church, and when I was about 9 months old, my parents became Protestant, so I did not grow up Catholic. I went to many different types of churches growing up, and as a teenager I decided I didn’t believe in God anymore. Fast forward to about 2 years ago… I met Jon. We started dating. And we got engaged last year. Even though I was an adamant Atheist when we met, I found faith through him and because of him.
I am now going through the RCIA process, and in a few months I will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. I just turned 25 years old yesterday… and I have done a lot of sinning. (Much of it when I was without faith, and didn’t believe I was sinning.)

I am still struggling with sin. Sins of impurity are the hardest for me to overcome. I need prayer more than ever. :gopray:
 
God bless you, Brittany Ann.
May God look kindly upon you and help you to recover from unwholesome habits built up during your life without faith.
I praise God for helping you to find Him and the Church again.
May God continue to bless you.

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;
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

You must change your mind fast, very fast…
Man is a sinner.
Do not tell me which sin is. Man is a sinner.
Maybe the sin that you said is not as heavy as others.
You know, sex is stronger than us, you know for God wants us to reproduce. Sometimes we do it, other times we employ that energy in other ways …

But this not the biggest sin, nowadays. It is the sin of lack of faith, lack of hope and lack of love to the our weaker brothers and sisters.

This is not to discourage you but maybe you will have to live with impure sins many years of your life. After them, just ask for the forgivenness of God, try the best to have a balanced life, pray to our beloved Mother of God, tell Jesus that you are going to correct it, even if you suspect that you may fall again, but nevertheless, promise it, get up and keep going. Fall 1000 times and ask for forgiveness and get up 1001 times. You must be a winner.

Do not get anguish over it. Christ loves you as a sinner which is the greatest kind of love that eists.
 
Remember, O most loving 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,
though burdened by my sins,
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.
 
Lord, please finish the good work you have already begun in brittany_ann. Please help her to overcome her sins, and help her to trust completely in your saving help. May she pray a lot and frequent the sacraments, and do spiritual reading; may she practice custody of the eyes and keep away from all occasions of sin. May she love you so deeply and despise her sins so deeply that she does not ever want to offend you … and should she ever offend you, may she run to you in the sacrament of your great mercy. Please help her to find a holy confessor/spiritual director to help her get over her sins of impurity. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm 62
Peace in God
May God, the source of our hope, fill your hearts with peace as you believe in him (Romans 15:13).

In God alone is my soul at rest;
my help comes from him.
He alone is my rock, my stronghold,
my fortress: I stand firm.
 
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 the hour of our death

Amen
 
Your not alone, strive to be better, confess when you can and resolve not to continue. God bless and welcome home.

*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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us form the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy. Amen. *

Remember, most loving Virgin Mary,
never was it heard
that anyone who turned to you for help
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
though burdened by my sins,
I run to your protection 
for you are my mother.
Mother of the Word of God,
do not despise my words of pleading
but be merciful and hear my prayer.
Amen.

I, too, know the fears of the sin of not having faith or openly rejecting God through atheism. I know I got there because I was too scared and ashamed to bring myself to face God after having sinned. My heart was then filled with pain and sorrow which I carried around like a giant anchor. If only I had been of sound enough mind to know that no matter what, God already knew what I had done. Fortunately I was able to bring myself to ask Jesus for forgiveness. I instantly felt His loving embrace around my heart and tears of joy poured out. I still felt sadness for the things that I have said and done, but I knew that with our Lord, Jesus, that I could and will sort through this and be able to repair most of the damage I myself had accomplished by avoiding Him.

I will be praying for you to keep your faith.
 
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!
