Prayer to get back up

[ACanthony]

I have been struggling with the sin of pornography my whole life. I have been making very good strides in the past couples years. I was even advising some people here on some of the secrets to maintain purity and avoid this particular sin. I was tempted all day and thought it would be a good idea to go to Confession, yet I did not make it in time, and last night gave into temptation and succumbed to this sin. Please pray that I will be able to rise and for the gift of wisdom that I will be able to resist temptation in the future. I will go to Confession later on.

Praying for you! This is a terrible temptation that can really sneak up on you even after weeks, months or years of successfully avoiding it.

Stay strong. Go to confession. Ask our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph for help!

You can do it!

 

[Obsculta]

Look down upon me good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy Five Wounds, pondering over them within me and calling to mind the words which David, Thy prophet said of Thee, my Jesus, “They have pierced My Hands and My Feet, they have numbered all My Bones.”

May the Holy Spirit guide you to even greater charity towards all Gods children.

Amen!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our 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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil, may GOD rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

May God Bless You.

I was even advising some people here on some of the secrets to maintain purity and avoid this particular sin.

Do not hesitate to continue to advise people to avoid this sin, even if you struggle with it yourself. Whether or not you struggle with this sin is independent to the reality that it is objectively sinful. Advising them would not make you a hypocrite. A hypocrite justifies something for themselves while condemning it for others. You recognize your own struggle and thus, your advice does not originate from hypocrisy but from love.

Lord, please help ACanthony with many graces for purity, fortitude, magnanimity, and joy to permeate all facets of his life. Grant angelic help to his eyes and heart in the face of temptations. Lead this soul through this trial toward the eternal kingdom, now and forever. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
