Could you all please pray for me? I am in a tough situation right now, because I am on new medication for anxiety and depression. It is making me very tired and more forgetful than normal, but I have only been taking it for a short time. The symptoms are bearable, so I am hoping they will ease within the next few weeks.

I have also been feeling very scrupulous. Some of you may have seen my post on confession; I find myself worrying constantly over things, and about whether or not I have sinned. Now I am worried I was not absolved, because I cannot remember hearing the absolution.

I am just struggling right now because I feel so sick during the final weeks of this semester, and now I am worried I have received the Eucharist unworthily and offended God.
 
*If you had chosen to gravely sin you would know, as it requires full knowledge and intent.
May God give you peace. *
Our God, Your truly love this person, with great love.
Please let that love guide this person to hope and trust in Your love in each moment of life,
and to find healing and joy in Your love.
 
Come, Holy Spirit
Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.
Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm.
Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence.
Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.
Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace.
Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.
Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth.
Replace the night within us with your light.
Replace the winter within us with your spring.
Straighten our crookedness.
Fill our emptiness.
Dull the edge of our pride.
Sharpen the edge of our humility.
Light the fires of our love.
Quench the flames of our lust.
Let us see ourselves as you see us
That we may see You.

Amen.
 
He loves you and remembers that you are dust. This is comforting to me when I feel stressed over Confession; I don’t struggle with scruples so much (I have heard that it is so painful, and I’m sorry), but I still have anxiety over the Sacraments in general. When I feel upset over whether or not I’ve made a good, thorough examination of conscience and Confession (even after spending a lot of time and thought on it), I think about how He understands that I am very weak and imperfect, and He isn’t angry when I can’t do what I can’t do.

I would assume that you have NOT offended God; you made a sacramental Confession, and if the words of absolution were somehow absent, this was the priest’s mistake, not yours. You could still go back later and mention the incident in Confession, I guess…
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
I just prayed a decade of the Rosary for you. May Mother Mary help you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. 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.

St. Dymphna, pray for us. St. Benedict, pray for us. St. George, pray for us. Amen.
