Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate if you could keep me in your prayers. I have been struggling with my faith since the early part of this year. I don’t know how exactly to describe what I’m experiencing besides “emptiness”. I have continued to pray every day (I’ve actually started praying a daily Rosary again) and continue to go to mass and receive our Lord in the Eucharist. I have posted on here before about how I think I may be going through a dark night of the soul and have actually purchased St.John of the Cross’ book on the topic (though I do need to actually start reading it). Again, if you could pray for me and others going through similar situations (and maybe even offer some advice) I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you all and God Bless each and every one of you!
 
Is there any kind of sin that you’re continuously doing? that could be a reason for your faith being low. James 4:6 says “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble”. One of the reasons you may be battling unbelief is that you aren’t humbling yourself. I will pray for you.

I pray that God increases your faith and that He lifts you out of the hole you’re in. Amen.
 
Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; within your wounds, hide me; let me never be separated from you; from the evil one, protect me; at the hour of my death, call me; and bid me to come to you; that with your saints, I may praise you forever and ever.

Amen.🙏
 
Father please help Kyle find his way. May he find the word and in the word, hear you voice father. May through others speak to Kyle to let him know you are there. May his sins be forgiven and he will follow strong in your word. In your name, Jesus amen!
 
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.

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 us and on the whole world. x10

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.

†

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 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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,

Mother of Tranquility

and Mother of Hope,

look upon Kyle2253 in this time

of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart

to know that God’s Love

for her is unchanging and

unchangeable, and, that

true human love can only

begin and grow by touching

His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -

which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
And, help her to bring this

same Peace into the lives

of others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
Amen.

Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,

saying:

Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:

Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:

Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,

troubles and sorrows:

Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:

Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:

Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good

come from my efforts:

Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:

Jesus, help me!

When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and

I am lonely:

Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-

comings of every kind:

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Lord Jesus, Give Us Your Peace

Give us confidence in the depths of danger.
Give us hope when we are surrounded by fear.
Still our worries, calm the anxieties pressing
in on us from the world we live in.
Lord Jesus, give us Your peace.

Reassure us that You are with us when we
seem alone. Ease our doubting, as You did
Thomas’ doubt.
Lord Jesus, give us Your peace.

Guide our searching for peace,
so that we may not seek it where it is not to be found,
but we may seek it in You.
Lord Jesus, live in us and give us Your peace. Amen.

You have been in my prayers today.

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🌹

O loving messenger of the Incarnation, descend upon all those for whom I wish peace and happiness.

Spread your wings over the cradles of the new-born babes, O thou who didst announce the coming of the Infant Jesus. Give to the young a lily petal from the virginal scepter in your hand.

Cause the Ave Maria to re-echo in all hearts that they may find grace and joy through Mary.

Finally, recall the sublime words spoken on the day of the Annunciation–

“Nothing is impossible with God,”

and repeat them in hours of trial–to all I love–that their confidence in Our Lord may be reanimated, when all human help fails.

Amen.🙏
 
I am praying that our Heavenly Father provides you a boost of encouragement, guidance/redirection, and other blessings. The fact that your are persistently calling out to God shows that you are a disciple.
