Please pray for me as I struggle with the same mortal sin over and over and am becoming discouraged.
 
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard 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, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Do not be discouraged! Go to confession often, and ask for direction from your confessor.
 
I struggle with the same venial sins over and over again. I’m sure the priests are tired of hearing my confessions by now but I still go back every week. I find such strength and consolation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Truly, the graces received in the confessional are helping me to slowly overcome these sins. They may help you, too.
 
Pray the Rosary everyday. I was reading about Our Lady’s 15 promises of praying it and here is one of the promises. “The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.” Pray to the Holy Mother with confidence. You are in my prayers.
 
Praying for you…
:signofcross:
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.

Dear Jesus, You understand our human weaknesses.
We ask You to help Akecheta to accept the graces that You undoubtedly offer.
Guide Akecheta to sensible, practical means to overcome this tendency, avoiding occasions of sin where possible.
Help Akecheta to go forward, loving You above all, and others as self, in acts of practical kindness.

God bless you dear soul. In patience and good sense, it becomes easier with God’s grace

Why not try something my confessor suggested to me. I, to was suffering from a sinful habit, which I confessed to every week. My confessor said that these repeated sins are especially hurtful to Christ and a good way to avoid them is to put an image of Christ during his Passion, such as a picture of him wearing the Crown of Thorns.
Well, I can tell you it worked. From that point on, every time I was tempted, the image of Christ in agony, wearing the Crown of Thorns erased every bit of temptation from my mind.
Try It! Then, immediately thank the Lord for keeping you from sin.
 
Praying for you.

Don’t know if some reading would help …sometimes it helps to change our thinking, reminds us why we want to change

Have you read Lift up Your Heart by Fulton Sheen ?
It’s a challenging book but really inspirational

O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee
Jesus I trust in you

The only way for me (and we are all different in relation to our many different Catholic prayers prayed) to remove and not be tempted by mortal sins and sins is praying The Holy Rosary twice daily while removing the rubbish out of my Life as much as possible.

Jesus and our Heavenly Mother Mary do intercede if you can fully open up your Heart to Him by focussing on His Stations of The Cross (The Holy Rosary Card from Church is what I use) deeply reflecting on His Passion; everything Jesus endured throughout His Life and around His time of death, everything that Our Lady Mary endured as Jesus’ Mother until you get to the point of shedding tears which is melting your Heart and opening it right up! Then think of what this is doing to Jesus and our Holy Mother Mary being remorseful

Attending Reconciliation twice or once weekly assists in combating satan too!

Time does need to be set aside and you are able to offer up your domestic tasks to Jesus and Our Lady Mary while you are praying and reflecting; I picture Jesus Stations of His Cross in my mind now while praying!

Please Dear God our Heavenly Father and Dear Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus could you please bathe Thy Child in Your Divine Love Healing and Wisdom, fully opening up her Heart to Thee now and for Eternity Amen

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

Yes HolyRosaryChild
This is great advice for all of us.

Thank you
 
Almighty and most Merciful God, graciously hearken unto our prayers; and free our hearts from the temptations of evil thoughts; that we may worthily become a fit habitation for Thy Holy Spirit.

Amen.
