Apologies if this isn’t as concise and delicately worded as possible. I try to keep the balance between candor and courtesy as best as I could.

I recently met an absolutely lovely lady who I am smitten by (I mean … I’m using the word smitten). I haven’t been in a serious relationship in years partly out of choice and partly lack of opportunity. I’ve never experienced the whole ‘be friends first and connect on that level’ thing the way I have with her. It’s just beautiful.

However, I have a weakness for the flesh. The temptation increases and increases as we get deeper into the relationship. Now couple that with a dash of scrupulosity. Let me tell you … what a combination!!! I’ve been on the good for years but my defenses are like straw against a tsunami. I’m aware and mindful of occasions of sin and putting myself in good, wholesome positions. But even with the knowledge and experience it’s so dang difficult. And, still, I believe that if I lead she will follow.

Please pray for me. I want to be a strong Catholic man in this relationship. I don’t want to be assaulted with a doubt if and when I do fall. (I know that sounds defeatist and as if I’m setting myself up. The desire is so strong that I just find myself thinking ‘when’ not ‘if’.) Again, please pray for me and I would appreciate any advice. The more blunt, the better. I appreciate that over the verbal gymnastics we sometimes play.

Thank you all. Truly.
 
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.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on Ad. Lord, hear my prayer for his intentions and have mercy on the whole world. (x10)

I did pray a decade of my daily Divine Mercy Chaplet for your intention.
 
Hello.

Great memory. No it is not. The other lady was definitely not for me.
 
Praying for your happiness.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in 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; 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, 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.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

PRAYER IN A TIME OF TRIBULATION

O Lord, hear my cry pouring out from a troubled heart. The sorrow which clutches at my soul has driven me to You my protector, my True Friend in time of need. You know, my God, all my failings, my faults and my sins as well as the torment gripping my soul. My greatest sorrow should be for my disregard of Your holy commandments in the past, and I sincerely hope that you will grant me the grace of true contrition. O my Savior, hide not Your Face from me in this tribulation, let the light of Your Countenance shine upon me that I may be illuminated by Its love. If it be Your will, lighten this burden from me, yet should it be a means of my salvation, help me, help me O Lord, to carry this cross, for alone I can do nothing. Radiate Your love upon Your prodigal child O Lord, this beggar who knocks at Your door seeking shelter in Your Sacred Heart; this once proud earthen vessel made of clay seeks You, O Christ, and in a newly found faith, firmly believes that you will receive him in Your limitless Love and Mercy. Amen.

Jesus, I trust in You!
