Can anybody recommend any novenas for sexual related stuff…I am scared that my past promiscuity can affect my future life / family and health. kinda feeling scared. Ive been to confession several times, ive said sorry to Jesus several times and I TRULY regret and rebuke my past life and promise to live clean from now on… but still there is this lingering feeling of uncertainity, of fear of the “what ifs” and that my past is gonna haunt me in the future…

I was thinking of Saint Agustine of Hippo novena since he was quite the party boy before his conversion, which is similar to my situation.

Any thoughts?
 
How deep is your devotion to our Holy Virgin Mother? She has been a central figure in my fight to remain pure. I don’t know if I can recommend any particular novenas, but I can recommend to you The Holy Rosary for Purity of Body, Mind, and Spirit: Praying for Healing of Sexual Sins. If you can’t find it at your local Catholic bookstore, you can get it here:queenship.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=6906

It was only when I started to pray it that I started to feel truly free.
 
Saint Joseph, foster father of God incarnate and most holy and chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary has helped me tremendously in helping to remain pure and chaste. I recommend a novena to him, and saying a morning offering dedicated to him, I say it every day and his intercession has really helped me become pure.

“Receive me dear and chosen father and the offering of every movement of my body and soul, which I desire to present through you to my blessed Lord. Purify all! May every pulsation of my heart be a spiritual communion, every look an act of mercy, every action a sweet sacrifice, every word an arrow of divine love, every step an advance towards Jesus, every visit to our Lord as pleasing to God as errands of the angels, every thought of you, dear saint, an act to remind you that I am your child. I recommend to you the occasions which I usually fail, particularly(mention what sins you are worried about committing here). Accept each little devotion of the day, though replete with imperfection, and offer it to Jesus, Whose mercy will overlook all, since He regards not so much the gift as the love of the giver. Amen.”

The word “efficacious” means “having the power to produce a desired effect“. This Novena to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus is a powerful prayer and was recited daily by Saint Padre Pio for all those
who asked for his prayers. You are invited to recite this novena daily for your intentions.
O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given to you, seek and
you will find, knock and it will be opened to you”. Behold, I knock, I seek and ask for the
grace of … (Mention your intention)
Our Father …… Hail Mary …… Glory be to the Father ……
“Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.”

O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my
name, He will give it to you”. Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of …
(Mention your intention)

“Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.”

O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, Heaven and earth will pass away but my

“Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.”
3.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted,
have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the
sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender mother and ours.
Hail Holy Queen ……
“St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, prayer for us.”*

*A PRAYER TO THE
HOLY SPIRIT

I am going to reveal to you the secret of sanctity and happiness. Every day for five minutes control your imagination and close your eyes to all the noises of the world in order to enter into yourself. Then, in the sanctuary of your baptized soul (which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) speak to that Divine Spirit, saying to Him:

O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me.
Tell me what I should do; give me Your orders.
I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me
and to accept all that You permit to happen to me.
Let me only know Your Will.

If you do this, your life will flow along happily, serenely, and full of consolation, even in the midst of trials. Grace will be proportioned to the trial, giving you the strength to carry it and you will arrive at the Gate of Paradise, laden with merit. This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity.

*Novena To St. Jude

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and
friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you
universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things
almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and
alone.
Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and
speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come
to my assistance in this great need that I may receive
the consolation and help of heaven in all my
necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly -
(make your request here)
  • and that I may praise God with you and all the
    saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be
    ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God
    and to always honor you as my special and powerful
    patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
    Amen
    PRAYER
    May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, and
    loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time.
    Amen.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and
glorified now and forever. Amen

St. Jude pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.

Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus, in all the world and
for all Eternity.
(say this prayer, followed by the Our Father and the
Hail Mary)*
 
The Divine Mercy Chaplet

*How to Recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy

The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary rosary beads of five decades. At the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts the Chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Faustina and followed by a closing prayer.
Optional Opening Prayers

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
Begin with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed:

Our Father
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.

Hail Mary
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.

The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Then, on the large bead before each decade:

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.
On the ten small beads of each decade, say:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with (Say 3 Times):

Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Optional Closing Prayer

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.*

The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy (2)
 
If you are looking for a novena, I have found St. Jude novena to be exellent. He is invoked
for impossible and difficult situations.

Here is some important info about the Miraculous Medal, one of Mother Theresa’s
favorites.

“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it
around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”
From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“The devotions we practice in honor of the glorious Virgin Mary, however trifling they be,
are very pleasing to her divine Son, …” St. Teresa of Jesus

During this apparition, Mary’s hands had 3 rings on each finger. Each ring gave off
rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from
the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said
were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.

Have it is blessed. The devil hates blessed objects. Keep it on all all times.
Wear her medal in her honor because the devil can’t stand her either.

Then say, “Mary I am asking now for great graces which
you promised to those who ask and believe you.”
Trust her, it works. She is the mother of God. Would she lie?
She wants you to wear it. It is her gift to help you. She promised and she will diliver.

Hello.

Thank you so much, I am all familiar with these novena’s such as the efficacious novena to the Sacred Heart, the Novena to St. Jude, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary (because I regularly say it) but I was looking for something more specific to sexuality / sexual problems… like a patron saint for purity or self control or saint to not get STDs or something like that… but thanks anyyway and I will continue to integrate these prayers in my daily life, these are all so very useful. THANK YOU.

But… I think I found my answer, I think the St. Joseph one will do 🙂

Thank you all.
 
This is very powerful… Thank you so much. I almost teared reading this. Thank you.

Get a Brown Scapular, get enrolled, and wear it 24/7. That was the only way I was able to stay away from sexual vice.

Peace Be With You.
 
Question…

Do novenas have to be 9 days?? If it is urgent, can you just say it 9 times in a row?

Normally a novena is nine consecutive days of devotion of prayer for a special intention.
However, the Sacred Heart Novena is for nine consecutive months on the first Friday
of each month.

Some novenas are more or less defined with certain instructions including the time
periods; day, week, month. These usually come with indulgences and/or promises.

However if you are making up your own novena, which you can, then there are no
indulgences or promises. But you may use the prayers from the more common and favorite novenas and make it every hour on the hour. A lot of this is the sincerity,
goodness, and the devotion coming from the heart of the one making the novena.

Just a thought

Novenas to Mary under the title of the Immaculate Conception are for nine consecutive Mondays. I know of only one Church that has these (there may be many others throughout the country)… appropriately St Mary’s in downtown DC.
