Hello all. I fell to a sin against purity last night. It is especially discouraging because I have been doing well with the help of the Blessed Mother and our Lord so it feels like I have really let them down. Please pray that I don’t get discouraged and instead look to Jesus. Please pray that I get back up with more strength from God than ever before, and pray for all those young people out there who struggle with purity. It is such a tough culture to remain pure…yet I know the power of Jesus is stronger than any other power in this world. Thank you for your strong prayers.
 
Hi,

I have been there and I know how you feel. Remember that quote from the diary of St. Faustina that I sent you before. Focus on the Lord and His goodness, it is far better to spend your time contemplating Him than thinking about your failures and setbacks.

Breaking bad habits is hard, it takes a long time and sometimes it is a matter of “two steps forward, one step back”. Our Lord understands that. Keep looking ahead, don’t waste time and energy looking backward and regretting what is past.

Yes our culture really does create a lot of obstacles to purity. But God is greater than all that. He will lift you up.

God bless you, I am praying for you.
 
Almighty God, unto Whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name: through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Lord, please aid ACanthony and all those in times of temptation with the help of a battalion of angels, that the wiles of the evil one be quenched and that the children of God glorify Him always. Mary, pray with us. Amen. :harp:

Sarum Rite?

I recognise it from the Book of Common Prayer.
 
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.

May the Blessed Mother protect you under her mantle of purity!

Mother Mary, I commend ACanthony to you. Please intercede for him and help him to win his battle against the flesh, the world and the devil. Shower down graces upon him and help him to stay focused on loving God - not on his falls. May he love Our Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength and persevere in faith. Amen.
