Truly_Blessed_1

Guest
Hello All,
I could really use prayers from whoever reads this post. After leaving The Church for things that I thought “more logical” or “would better serve my earthly needs” or whatever you call it. I have fallen a VERY long way spiritually. The things that I have done are between God and me (and the Priest who hears my Confession.) I will not post them publicly, but I cannot begin to tell you how bad they are.

A few days ago I had a grave realization that I was on the path straight to hell, and that sometimes when we think we have plenty of time to make things right with God, we might not.

After praying the Rosary (sometimes 2-3 times a day!) I found that The Virgin Mary is truly AMAZING! I owe SO much to her; I have established this much: She will be the one to guide you to truly being a Christian, and she is what gives us the right heart and mindset to truly love God above all else and to trust EVERYTHING to him.

So much of my time as a Catholic was spent “going through the motions” and in doing so the Catholic Faith became almost meaningless to me. It’s like she was the missing link to real faith. I realize that the spiritual hardship that I am going through right now is my fault, but please pray that I can properly redeem myself in The Church, get set on the true path to God, and to never leave.
 
Welcome and good for you to have such a turn towards God and the church again,may God bring you his Peace.

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread and
Forgive us our debts as
We forgive our debtors and
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen

God Bless:)
 
Welcome Home - and welcome to the boards.

May God bless you abundantly on your journey.

Peace
James
 
Welcome back home!

Almighty Father, You desire not the death of the sinner, but that he may be converted and live. Pour out upon us Your mercy and hear the prayers of Your servants. Soften the hearts of Your children who have strayed from the true path which You established for their salvation. They are now forgetful of their duties as Catholics, and pursue the pleasures of the world. Grant that they may quickly return to the practice of every Christian virtue, so that their lives may shine with the integrity of faith, the fervor of piety, and the ardor of charity. Restore them all to Your sacraments and the life of Your grace, but in particular I pray for Truly_Blessed, through the merits of the most precious blood of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen
 
Welcome home I a sure Mary will help you keep praying the rosary not matter what!

If you have been to confession, you have already “propely redeemed” yourself in The Church. Walk in that. Don’t let the Enemy steal the freedom you have achieved. Many of us have done terrible things in our lives. In my experience, one of the Enemy’s favorite things are the doubts that he tries to bring against me…sometimes almost as soon as I walk out of the confessional. Things like, “Was I properly contrite? Did I really make a good confesson? What about this thought or feeling that I forgot to mention? Do I really mean to change?” All that kind of stuff, even though, objectively, none of it is mortal sin, and I always do the best I can and mention everything I can think of at the time. Remind the Enemy your sins are absolved (sometimes regularly and frequently until he “gets it”) and joyfully receive the Eucharist. Pray, learn your faith, and commit yourself to remaining steadfast in the arms of Jesus and the Blessed Mother forever. God bless you richly and welcome home!

Mother Mary, all that Truly_Blessed said about you is so true!! Please help him/her to keep his/her heart and hand in yours, and help him/her to keep his soul clean for Jesus. Please guide and protect him/her and help him/her to keep away from all occasions of sin. Please help him/her to pray zealously and often, and to live charitably; please help him/her to always deny himself/herself, to take up his/her cross daily, and to follow Jesus. May he/she pray daily for your heart and dispositions, and receive them. Amen.

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
 
Whoah! Seeing how many people are praying for me is hitting my heart HARD (in a good way!!) I pray that all of you will be blessed in a special way for that.

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 for give us our trespasses, as we forgive those who tresspass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
