I wonder if practicing the First Five Saturdays devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary would help you. It did wonders for my spiritual life.

The Virgin Mary appeared to Sr. Lucia, one of the visionaries at the Fatima miracle, and asked her to introduce to the Church the First Five Saturdays devotion in reparation for the sins people commit against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On the first Saturdays of five consecutive months, we are asked to pray the Rosary, spend 15 additional minutes with Our Lady, meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary, go to Confession (though this doesn’t have to be on that very Saturday; it should just be as close to then as we can make it) and receive Holy Communion on behalf of those that sin against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The injuries against Mary’s Heart that we make reparation for are:
  1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception
  2. Blasphemies against her Virginity
  3. Blasphemies against her Divine Maternity, her role as Mother of God and Mother of Humanity (for she is mother to all faithful Christians).
  4. Blasphemies of those that seek to convince children to not care about Mary or to scorn or hate her.
  5. Offenses against her holy images.
In return for our offering Mary this devotion on five consecutive First Saturdays, she promises to assist us at the hour of our death with all the graces necessary for salvation :).

Practicing the devotion may strengthen your confidence in God and help you to build your faith in Christ. Mary promises to give you all the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of your death if you do it. This isn’t “magic,” like an automatic pass into Heaven. We still need to live for God and in God. But Mary promises her great support in bringing us to Heaven at the end if we practice this. I think you may find it comforting and I’m quite sure you WOULD find it strengthening at the end of your life, granting you power to walk according to God’s will :).

**Thank you for posting this! **

For the OP, consider praying the Rosary daily. It transforms lives…
 
i was so worried about hell too, it will pass tho…only love lasts forever
 
one thing that helped me was having a prayer line available. A prayer line is where you can call a number to pray with someone on the telephone. Trinity Broadcasting Network has one and also Life Outreach International
 
‘If your eternal salvation depended on yourself alone, you would have serious cause for alarm, but since it is in the hands of your heavenly Father, what have you to fear? My hopes rest on the Passion of Jesus and on the dolors of Mary.’

St. Paul of the Cross
