Hello all. I have been battling some temptations and unfortunately last night I gave in to the sin of masturbation. I was able to drag myself to Mass and I was so fortunate because this morning’s Gospel was all about forgiveness and mercy. I was able to grab the priest after for a Confession. Please pray that I will stay focused on the Lord at all times and that I can always give my sufferings to God and that I can strive for purity and holiness and that when I do fall, to know that Jesus is with me. It’s just a little difficult because I had been doing so well and it’s discouraging. I did go to Confession though so please, please pray that I am able to know that I am forgiven today. Thank you.
 
I will pray that God will strengthen you in the battle. Also, beware of discouragement - it is easy to fall into, but it is hinders our spiritual growth. Our Lord said to Saint Faustina:

“My child, know that the greatest obstacles to holiness are discouragement and an exaggerated anxiety. These will deprive you of the ability to practice virtue. All temptations united together ought not disturb your interior peace, not even momentarily. Sensitiveness and discouragement are the fruits of self-love. You should not become discouraged, but strive to make My love reign in place of your self-love. Have confidence, My child. Do not lose heart in coming for pardon, for I am always ready to forgive you”.

You will be in my daily rosary.
 
Mother Mary, I commend ACanthony to you. Please help him to imitate your holy purity. May he have a special devotion to you and call upon you for help whenever tempted. Amen.
