Apologies for the potential double post, but I’m not sure if my post uploaded correctly:

I humbly request prayer and intercession from my brothers and sisters on this forum. I’ve been struggling with despair and doubt over the abuse crisis, lack of faith, and various poor coping mechanisms.

Additionally, when it seems that life is set aright I almost inevitably fall into certain besetting sins, no matter how grateful and thankful I am for Christ and Our Lady. I keep falling into impurity and despair. I cry out to Jesus, Mary, all the Angels and Saints and go to Confession.

My family is getting ready to move much closer to our beautiful local parish, a move that will make access to the Sacraments much easier. I can almost feel Satan poking at my weaknesses, making a Judas and a hypocrite out of me.

Please pray for me and my family, brothers and sisters. I thank God for you.
 
I’m praying for you and your family. May God help you pursue purity and to forsake impurity. May He also continue to guide your family.
 
Prayed that God would increase your faith, govern your actions, guide your decisions, and give you steely determination to avoid habitual sins for your love of God. Also prayed for your family, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
 
Most Merciful God,
I thank you for the blessing of this forum and the prayers of my brothers and sisters on it. Pour out blessings and mercy on those who are praying for me, whether publicly or privately, and may they have their own personal requests and petitions heard in Your court. I ask all this for the sake of the merits and love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with the most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ Your Son, Our Lord.
Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
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 death
Amen
 
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.

Woman, behold your Child​

Dear Mother, please intercede with the Father that I may grow in worthy fraternity with Jesus, for this kinship was His dying wish. So deep was this astonishing desire, that He bridged earth to heaven for me by the racked sufferings of His soul, mind, and body.

As His humanity strained to shattering point, He knew even then my sins and faults, which He understood and forgave even as He suffered. He knew that I do not comprehend the heinousness of offence against God or against others whom He lovingly created. He knew that I could not grasp the greatness of His act of incarnation and immolation, of His redemption of us, of me. For selfishness and worldliness dims the human soul’s limited perception regarding truth and love.

He, this suffering Being subject to all human vicissitude and weakness, was aware—with pain that deepened His own—of the anguish that filled your being and drenched your face with unconscious tears of love and distress as He died for me. He knew the depth of your pain—poignant with memories of the best of sons, of the greatest of men—loving, wise and innocent, compassionate, beloved, and vibrantly human. Disfigured beyond recognition, He died for me in apparent failure and disgrace, yet He still asked your maternal love for me, inviting me to loving fraternity. Your love, transcending all, accepted me wholly.

Lovely Lady, pure crystal of divine glory, I humbly slip my hand in yours with obedient trust. I feel unworthy, sinful, wondering and hopeful. Why has He, this wonderful, promising, intelligent young man allowed Himself to be degraded and destroyed, emptied in loving endurance that escalates throughout indescribable torment—piercing your soul? Why has He done this for one such as me, who am so insignificant and sinful! Yet He draws me into His household and gives me His own Mother and His divine Father.

Gentle Mother, most blessed, you were chosen from amongst all women to cooperate in the incarnation of the only begotten of the most high God! You were entrusted with His nurture, His moulding and protection from conception until the beginning of His public ministry. Now your suffering eyes are filled with love and pity that calm the shame, confusion and discouragement that might otherwise overwhelm me.

Mother, intercede that what He has done, and all that He promises, be fulfilled in me and in everyone for whom I pray. Please lead me to love your Son and our God as He has loved and to cherish others with such love. Lead me to give my paltry all to Him in humble, obedient, creative service. Let this small gift be blessed in your maternal love for me and in the intercession of the entire heavenly household. Thus may I live for His glory, offering atonement, gratitude and petition for us poor sinners—so that His joy and delight in me, and yours, is as great as His suffering for me, and yours.
