Please pray a Hail Mary for me so I may have the strength to fight the temptations of lustful thoughts. In moments of weakness I view pornography. It is something I hate but I can’t seem to escape it. I go to confession and seem to do well for a time, but then I become weak again.

Brother Mentor, the evil one:eek:never gives up . And God never gives up He is aways there standing by with his actual grace waiting for you to reach out and grab ahold. May I suggest you begin going to Perpetual Adoration every time you are pulled back into temptation. Also isn’t there a way to block the filth on the INTERNET, I believe parents are able to close off undesirable programing , Check it out as something that will help you,
Peace, Carlan

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.

Don’t worry, you are not alone. Many of us are struggling with this sin. You can make it through this. Don’t let the darkness win. You’re not alone. Don’t be afraid.
 
Nothing is impossible with God! hold strong!

Jesus says “If your right eye cause you to sin, pluck it out. Better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”

I am convinced that some people should not have computers who cannot control their porn viewing. Better to throw out your computer than have your whole body thrown into hell.

Having said that, it is certainly worth trying installing a parental filter. K9 is free
www1.k9webprotection.com/getk9/download-software

This is very reliable. Make the password very complex and impossible to remember and give it to a trusted family member or hide it in the roof. This makes it a very deliberate effort to bypass the porn controls whereas without this you might succumb to a moment of weakness.

One thing I am really worried about is these smartphones like iphone etc. which have internet access. Parents should be very alarmed about these as it is very hard to secure these devices. Perhaps they should be forbidden in Christian homes or at least have the Internet deactivated on them.
 
Sin is easy to fall to and hard to shed, by nature. Only with the grace of God can we overcome and hold out from these things. Some are blessed with plenty of grace and some can and will need more. Praying for an increase of grace for you. please pray for me as well.

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us form the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy. Amen.

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.

BrotherMentor, do not despair. God is with you, and He is giving you the grace to resist. It’s just that the lures of this world sometimes are too easy to be hooked on. Just remember this quote from Churchill: “Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” (Easier said than done at times, I know…)

For some practical help, take a look at Mark Hauck’s (sp?) The Kings Men Catholic Men’s ministry and some of the Catholic Hack podcasts if you have iTunes. Both of them have fought the same battle and have told their stories and told how they overcame the porn problem.

Nearly all of us guys have been there before. It’s a tough struggle. I’m praying for you. 🙂
