Adam Blai, paritus of the Roman Catholic Church in Religious Demonology and Exorcism to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, has witnessed and assisted at many solemn exorcisms over the years. “I’ve never seen her for myself,” he admits to his riveted audience, “but every soul who has seen her says she is the most beautiful woman they have ever laid eyes on.” I count myself fortunate to have heard him speak recently at The Shrine of Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted in Youngstown, Ohio. In his presentation titled Traps of the Enemy Now Celebrated in Our Culture Mr. Blai lamented that around the world the Church has ceased to catechize the faithful in spiritual warfare and observed that Christians in general seem embarrassed to even bring it up. Blai has seen first-hand how the rise in practice of wicca, witchcraft, satanism, necromancy, and new age philosophies and rituals, all forbidden by the Church, have resulted in the destruction of real lives. “Young adult sections in bookstores are loaded with books that soften the impressions of the darkness,” he said. He also discussed television and film, particularly how Hollywood will produce entertainment glamorizing these forbidden practices, and don’t care how much damage they cause. The damage is done when we turn to a created spirit to gain what we want, rather than waiting on the Lord, and in doing so we hand our bodies and possessions over to the enemy. “We have been given authority over our bodies and our property,” he said, “and we must keep that authority.” That authority was given to us by God, and His authority trumps all. We should also continue to seek protection from Mary. The Lord Jesus shares that authority with His mother. The powers of hell are no match for her. Mr. Blai discussed how during difficult cases, the exorcist and his team will be stalled, getting nowhere with the demon. Someone will simply suggest praying a few decades of the rosary, and the demon reacts in terror: “not her, anything but her!” Blai discussed how the evil one and his cohort cannot bear to be in her presence. She terrifies them, because she is the source of our salvation, the willing vessel of the Word Incarnate, the woman who, with her Son, would crush the head of the serpent. “Some of these afflicted souls have never heard of Mary, have no idea what the Church teaches about her, and even they are overwhelmed by her beauty. They’ll ask, ‘who was that woman? I have never seen someone so beautiful!’ He continues: “When Our Lady arrives, their expression totally changes. They suddenly have a look of joy on their face. Many smile. Many cry. She is very powerful. And that power was given to her by her Son. “And why wouldn’t He give her everything? It is her blood that flows through His veins. Jesus had no earthly father. His DNA is her DNA. Everything He is in His humanity is from her. She was the first person to reflect the face of love to Him.” He finished with a story he stumbled upon by a seer he did not name. While he stressed that this seer has not been vetted by the Church, Blai recognizes in this brief story depth of love between Jesus and His mother: “Jesus was dying on the cross, and there was she was, right there with him until the end, but she couldn’t hold him or comfort him. So, she sang to Him a lullaby, just as she sang to Him when He was a child. That is the heart of a mother.” Jesus shares everything with His mother, and with great humility, she does everything He asks. “They are united on a level we just cannot imagine.” To learn more about Adam Blai’s ministry, visit his website at religiousdemonology.com.

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His Aid. Considerations 1. Once more imagine yourself in an open plain, alone with your guardian Angel, and represent to yourself on the left hand the Devil sitting on a high and mighty throne, surrounded by a vast troop of worldly men, who bow bareheaded before him, doing homage to him by the various sins they commit. Study the countenances of the miserable courtiers of that most abominable king: some raging with fury, envy and passion, some murderous in their hatred; others pale and haggard in their craving after wealth, or madly pursuing every vain and profitless pleasure; others sunk and lost in vile, impure affections. See how all alike are hateful, restless, wild: see how they despise one another, and only pretend to an unreal self-seeking love. Such is the miserable reign of the abhorred Tyrant. 2. On the other hand, behold Jesus Christ Crucified, calling these unhappy wretches to come to Him, and interceding for them with all the Love of His Precious Heart. Behold the company of devout souls and their guardian Angels, contemplate the beauty of this religious Kingdom. What lovelier than the troop of virgin souls, men and women, pure as lilies: widows in their holy desolation and humility; husbands and wives living in all tender love and mutual cherishing. See how such pious souls know how to combine their exterior and interior duties; to love the earthly spouse without diminishing their devotion to the Heavenly Bridegroom. Look around, one and all you will see them with loving, holy, gentle countenances listening to the Voice of their Lord, all seeking to enthrone Him more and more within their hearts. They rejoice, but it is with a peaceful, loving, sober joy; they love, but their love is altogether holy and pure. Such among these devout ones as have sorrows to bear, are not disheartened thereby, and do not grieve overmuch, for their Saviour’s Eye is upon them to comfort them, and they all seek Him only. 3. Surely you have altogether renounced Satan with his weary miserable troop, by the good resolutions you have made; but nevertheless you have not yet wholly attained to the King Jesus, or altogether joined His blessed company of devout ones: you have hovered betwixt the two. 4. The Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, St. Louis, St. Monica, and hundreds of thousands more who were once like you, living in the world, call upon you and encourage you. 5. The Crucified King Himself calls you by your own name: Come, O my beloved, come, and let Me crown thee! The Choice 1. O world, O vile company, never will I enlist beneath thy banner; for ever I have forsaken thy flatteries and deceptions. O proud king, monarch of evil, infernal spirit, I renounce thee and all thy hollow pomp, I detest thee and all thy works. 2. And turning to Thee, O Sweet Jesus, King of blessedness and of eternal glory, I cleave to Thee with all the powers of my soul, I adore Thee with all my heart, I choose Thee now and ever for my King, and with inviolable fidelity I would offer my irrevocable service, and submit myself to Thy holy laws and ordinances. 3. O Blessed Virgin Mother of God, you shall be my example, I will follow you with all reverence and respect. O my good Angel, bring me to this heavenly company, leave me not until I have reached them, with whom I will sing for ever, in testimony of my choice, Glory be to Jesus, my Lord!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His inspiration. Considerations 1. Imagine yourself alone with your good angel in an open plain, as was Tobit on his way to Rages. Suppose the Angel to set before you Paradise, full of delights and joys; and on the other hand Hell, with all its torments. Contemplate both, kneeling in imagination before your guardian Angel. Consider that you are most truly standing between Hell and Paradise, and that both the one and the other are open to receive you, according to your own choice. 2. Consider that the choice you make in this life will last for ever in the next. 3. Consider too, that while both are open to receive you according to your choice, yet God, Who is prepared to give the one by reason of His Justice, the other by reason of His Mercy, all the while desires unspeakably that you should select Paradise; and your good Angel is urging you with all his might to do so, offering you countless graces on God’s part, countless helps to attain to it. 4. Consider that Jesus Christ, enthroned in Heaven, looks down upon you in loving invitation: O beloved one, come unto Me, and joy for ever in the eternal blessedness of My Love! Behold His mother yearning over you with maternal tenderness, Courage, my child, do not despise the Goodness of my Son, or my earnest prayers for thy salvation. Behold the Saints, who have left you their example, the millions of holy souls who long after you, desiring earnestly that you may one day be for ever joined to them in their song of praise, urging upon you that the road to Heaven is not so hard to find as the world would have you think. Press on boldly, dear friend, they cry. Whoso will ponder well the path by which we came hither, will discover that we attained to these present delights by sweeter joys than any this world can give. The Choice 1. O Hell, I abhor thee now and for ever; I abhor thy griefs and torments, thine endless misery, the unceasing blasphemies and maledictions which thou pourest out upon my God; and turning to thee, O blessed Paradise, eternal glory, unfading happiness, I choose thee for ever as my abode, thy glorious mansions, thy precious and abiding tabernacles. O my God, I bless Thy Mercy which gives me the power to choose, O Jesus, Saviour, I accept Thine Eternal Love, and praise Thee for the promise Thou hast given me of a place prepared for me in that blessed New Jerusalem, where I shall love and bless Thee for ever. 2. Dwell lovingly upon the example set before you by the Blessed Virgin and the Saints, and strive to follow where they point you. Give yourself up to your guardian Angel, that he may be your guide, and gird up your courage anew to make this choice. Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Invoke His Aid. Considerations 1. Represent to yourself a lovely calm night, when the heavens are bright with innumerable stars: add to the beauty of such a night the utmost beauty of a glorious summer’s day, the sun’s brightness not hindering the clear shining of moon or stars, and then be sure that it all falls immeasurably short of the glory of Paradise. O bright and blessed country, O sweet and precious place! 2. Consider the beauty and perfection of the countless inhabitants of that blessed country; the millions and millions of angels, Cherubim and Seraphim; the glorious company of Apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and saints. O blessed company, any one single member of which surpasses all the glory of this world, what will it be to behold them all, to sing with them the sweet Song of the Lamb? They rejoice with a perpetual joy, they share a bliss unspeakable, and unchangeable delights. 3. Consider how they enjoy the Presence of God, Who fills them with the richness of His Vision, which is a perfect ocean of delight; the joy of being for ever united to their Head. They are like happy birds, hovering and singing for ever within the atmosphere of divinity, which fills them with inconceivable pleasures. There each one vies without jealousy in singing the praises of the Creator. Blessed art Thou for ever, O Dear and Precious Lord and Redeemer, Who dost so freely give us of Thine Own Glory, they cry; and He in His turn pours out His ceaseless Blessing on His Saints. Blessed are ye, Mine own for ever, who have served Me faithfully, and with a good courage. Affections and Resolutions 1. Admire and rejoice in the Heavenly Country; the glorious and blessed New Jerusalem. 2. Reprove the coldness of your own heart for having hitherto so little sought after that glorious abode. Why have I so long lingered indifferent to the eternal happiness set before me? Woe is me that, for the sake of poor savourless earthly things, I have so often forgotten those heavenly delights. How could I neglect such real treasures for mere vain and contemptible earthly matters? 3. Aspire earnestly after that blessed abode. Forasmuch, O Dear Lord, as Thou hast been pleased to turn my feet into Thy ways, never will I again look back. Go forth, my soul, towards thy promised rest, journey unweariedly to that hoped-for land; wherefore shouldest thou tarry in Egypt? 4. Resolve to give up such and such things, which hinder you on the way, and to do such others as will help you thitherwards. Give thanks, offer, pray.

Dealing With Temptations, Reflection 3: Sex Is Created By God And Is Good

Our Social Networks Facebook Youtube Telegram Twitter Centercode Telegram-plane Comment MOTHER & REFUGE OF THE END TIMES IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH! HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS WATCH ONLINE Dealing with Temptations, Reflection 3: Sex Is Created By God And Is Good In his novel “The World, the Flesh, and Father Smith” Bruce Marshall wrote a very intriguing sentence: “The young man who rings the bell at the brothel is unconsciously looking for God.”  At first glance this claim may seem absurd, as it seems that the young man who goes to the brothel is looking for anything but God.  So what did Bruce Marshall mean?  The author was trying to point out something unique and mystical about the sexual act.  In the sexual act, the human person somehow reaches out beyond their own self and transcends to know another person in very intimate way, in the most intimate way.  The uniting of a man and woman in the sexual act is a truly personal act in which they are united and come to know each other through the body, and in which they give the gift of themselves to the other person.  And so, even the young man who seeks to have sex with a woman at the brothel is, in a way, seeking to go outside of himself and encounter another.   The sexual act within marriage is something created by God and it is good.  For it to be as God intended, the sexual act must be an act of mutual giving.  Human beings try to separate the pleasure of the sexual act from procreation.  However, God never intended for the sexual act to be intentionally closed to life.  Is interesting to note how we human beings want to believe that somehow we know more about sex than God.  We seem to think we have empowered ourselves through the invention of birth control.  Archbishop Fulton Sheen with great wisdom once made the following comments about the Birth Control: “the words are not very proper because those who believe in it actually believe neither in birth nor Control.”What a beautiful creation the sexual act is.  The human heart desires by nature communion with another person.  Ultimately, the human person is restless until it is fully united with the One Who can completely fulfill it’s desires and yearnings.  In the book, “Sex and the Supremacy of Christ” John Piper suggests two points that we should really take some time to consider.  The first is that sexuality is designed as a way to know God in Christ more fully.  And so, sex is an incredible good because it is Holy and designed as a way to know God.  Secondly, he presents that through sex we are able to acknowledge the Supremacy of Christ in the gift of sexuality and the sexual act.  This is true for both the man and the woman.  God is truly pleased when we are able to enjoy sex in the way he intended us to enjoy this incredible gift, and He desires us to enjoy the gift of mutual self-giving and knowing.

Dealing With Temptations, Reflection 2: Sex Is For Marriage

Our Social Networks Facebook Youtube Telegram Twitter Centercode Telegram-plane Comment MOTHER & REFUGE OF THE END TIMES IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH! HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS WATCH ONLINE Dealing With Temptations, Reflection 2: Sex Is For Marriage It seems like an impossible thing these days, to hold that sex is for marriage and not be laughed out the room.  Sex is such a sacred act in the eyes of the Lord. In our culture with so many things being sex-forward and sex-centered, it is easily to lose sight of the holiness of sex.  When we reflect on the fact that the sexual act produces life, we begin to understand why sex is so sacred.  No human being has the power to create.  God alone creates – and it is through the sexual act that human beings take part in the act of creation with God.  This is what should make us stand back and realize the greatness of the sexual act.   If we watch tv and follow the internet we get led down a completely different idea about sex.  So much about the images we see, and the shows we watch attempt to teach us that sexual freedom and self gratification is what sex is all about.  Love who you want, when you want.  Love yourself, feel good, free sex, no consequences.   Responsible sex in our culture means safe sex (don’t give anyone diseases) and consent.  Gender is irrelevant, pornography is encouraged, and anything goes as long as no one gets hurt After experiencing a painful divorce my Christian therapist recommended that I explore my sexual freedom.  I realize now how backwards that advice was.  She recommended pornography, masturbation, and multiple partners as a way to get to know my sexual self better.  And once you go down that road it’s really difficult to see why it is wrong because most single people out there are doing the same thing.  Try to tell your date from Match.com that you don’t believe in sex before marriage and they’ll swipe left in a hurry.  Our Lady of Fatima stands out in such contradiction to what is the wisdom of the world.   The entire notion of purity stands in direct opposition to what we are exposed to day to day on the Internet, on the radio, in movies, magazines, you name it.  In some ways I feel like we are being bombarded constantly with images that run completely contrary to how we are suppose to view sexuality.   The world will say that purity is prudish.  And here is where we really need to pray for the grace to understand sexuality the way that God sees it and the way we are meant to see our sexual selves.  I think at first Our Lady may seem like someone that is unrelatable and the call to purity appears too much.  Yet Scripture tells us only the Pure of Heart will look upon God.  For now, we will consider a few scripture passages on purity.  Keep in mind that God’s laws about sexuality are not just random rules.  When we come to understand more clearly the purpose of sex and the sacredness of the sexual act within marriage, then we will see the reasons for the need for chastity and purity.   And when we further understand what we are called to in eternity, we will see why purity is essential if we are to see God face to face.   Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity , lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Colossians 3:5 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.  Hebrews 13:4Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Psalms 51:10 Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed!

PLACE yourself in God’s Presence. 2. Humble yourself, and ask His Aid. 3. Picture to yourself a dark city, reeking with the flames of sulphur and brimstone, inhabited by citizens who cannot get forth. Considerations 1. Even so the lost are plunged in their infernal abyss; suffering indescribable torture in every sense and every member; and that because having used their members and senses for sin, it is just that through them they should suffer now. Those eyes which delighted in impure vicious sights, now behold devils; the ears which took pleasure in unholy words, now are deafened with yells of despair; and so on with the other senses. 2. Beyond all these sufferings, there is one greater still, the privation and pain of loss of God’s Glory, which is for ever denied to their vision. If Absalom cared not to be released from exile, if he might not see his father’s face, how much sorer will it be to be deprived for ever of the blessed vision of God? 3. Consider how insupportable the pains of Hell will be by reason of their eternal duration. If the irritating bite of an insect, or the restlessness of fever, makes an ordinary night seem so long and tedious, how terrible will the endless night of eternity be, where nought will be found save despair, blasphemy and fury! Affections and Resolutions 1. Read the Prophet’s descriptions of the terrors of the Lord, and ask your soul whether it can face them, whether you can bear to lose your God for ever? 2. Confess that you have repeatedly deserved to do so. Resolve henceforth to act differently, and to rescue yourself from this abyss. Resolve on distinct definite acts by which you may avoid sin, and thereby eternal death. Give thanks, offer yourself, pray.

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Intreat Him to inspire you. Considerations 1. When the time comes which God has appointed for the end of this world, and after many terrible signs and warnings, which will overwhelm men with fear, the whole earth will be destroyed, and nothing then left. 2. Afterwards, all men, save those already risen, shall rise from the dead, and at the voice of the Archangel appear in the valley of Jehoshaphat. But alas, with what divers aspects! for some will be glorious and shining, others horrible and ghastly. 3. Consider the majesty with which the Sovereign Judge will appear surrounded by all His Saints and Angels; His Cross, the Sign of Grace to the good and of terror to the evil, shining brighter than the sun. 4. This Sovereign Judge will with His awful word, instantly fulfilled, separate the evil and the good, setting the one on His Right Hand, the other on His Left, an eternal separation, for they will never meet again. 5. This separation made, the books of conscience will be opened, and all men will behold the malice of the wicked, and how they have contemned God; as also the penitence of the good, and the results of the grace they received. Nothing will be hid. O my God, what confusion to the one, what rejoicing to the other! Consider the final sentence of the wicked. Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. Dwell upon these awful words. Go, He says, for ever discarding these wretched sinners, banishing them for ever from His Presence. He calls them cursed: O my soul, what a curse: a curse involving all other maledictions, all possible evil, an irrevocable curse, including all time and eternity; condemning them to everlasting fire. Think what that eternity of suffering implies. 6. Then consider the sentence of the good. Come, the Judge says, O blessed loving word with which God draws us to Himself and receives us in His Bosom. Blessed of My Father, O blessing above all blessings! inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. O my God, and that Kingdom will know no end! Affections and Resolutions 1. Tremble, my soul, at the thought. O God, who will be my stay in that hour when the pillars of the earth are shaken? 2. Abhor your sins, which alone can cause you to be lost when that fearful day comes. Surely I will judge myself now, that I be not judged;悠 will examine my conscience, accuse, condemn, punish myself, that the Judge may not condemn me then. I will confess my faults, and follow the counsels given me. Conclusion Thank God for having given you means of safety in that terrible Day, and time for repentance. Offer Him your heart, and ask for grace to use it well. OUR FATHER, etc. Gather your bouquet. Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed! Ops!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Ask His Grace. 3. Suppose yourself to be on your deathbed, in the last extremity, without the smallest hope of recovery. Considerations 1. Consider the uncertainty as to the day of your death. One day your soul will quit this body: will it be in summer or winter? in town or country? by day or by night? will it be suddenly or with warning? will it be owing to sickness or an accident? will you have time to make your last confession or not? will your confessor or spiritual father be at hand or will he not? Alas, of all these things we know absolutely nothing: all that we do know is that die we shall, and for the most part sooner than we expect. 2. Consider that then the world is at end as far as you are concerned, there will be no more of it for you, it will be altogether overthrown for you, since all pleasures, vanities, worldly joys, empty delights will be as a mere fantastic vision to you. Woe is me, for what mere trifles and unrealities I have ventured to offend my God? Then you will see that what we preferred to Him was nought. But, on the other hand, all devotion and good works will then seem so precious and so sweet: Why did I not tread that pleasant path? Then what you thought to be little sins will look like huge mountains, and your devotion will seem but a very little thing. 3. Consider the universal farewell which your soul will take of this world. It will say farewell to riches, pleasures, and idle companions; to amusements and pastimes, to friends and neighbours, to husband, wife and child, in short to all creation. And lastly it will say farewell to its own body, which it will leave pale and cold, to become repulsive in decay. 4. Consider how the survivors will hasten to put that body away, and hide it beneath the earth and then the world will scarce give you another thought, or remember you, any more than you have done to those already gone. ‘God rest his soul!’ men will say, and that is all. O death, how pitiless, how hard thou art! 5. Consider that when it quits the body the soul must go at once to the right hand or the left. To which will your soul go? what side will it take? none other, be sure, than that to which it had voluntarily drawn while yet in this world. Affections and Resolutions 1. Pray to God, and throw yourself into His Arms. O Lord, be Thou my stay in that day of anguish! May that hour be blessed and favourable to me, if all the rest of my life be full of sadness and trial. 2. Despise the world. Forasmuch as I know not the hour in which I must quit the world, I will not grow fond of it. O dear friends, beloved ones of my heart, be content that I cleave to you only with a holy friendship which may last for ever; why should I cling to you with a tie which must needs be broken? I will prepare for the hour of death and take every precaution for its peaceful arrival; I will thoroughly examine into the state of my conscience, and put in order whatever is wanting. Conclusion Thank God for inspiring you with these resolutions: offer them to His Majesty: intreat Him anew to grant you a happy death by the Merits of His Dear Son’s Death.

Dealing With Temptations, Reflection 1: Chasing Away Temptations Against Purity

Francis Remler recommends that we do not argue with the temptation or give it any undue attention, but rather to remove ourselves from the temptation and to immediately occupy ourselves with some other thing. He tells us that we should not attempt to face the temptation head on. It is suggested that we do not try to face the temptation head on, but rather refuse it any space in our mind and go to battle with it indirectly.   We should first get in a habit of finding a short prayer that we find encouraging and helpful for fighting our temptation. Perhaps we can find a role model from a Saint who has faced similar temptations and invoke their help. Fr. Francis Remler says this prayer should be a short phrase or sentence. Afterwards we should go and do something else. Yes, instead of trying to battle it directly we should go and occupy ourselves with some other activity. We cannot fight temptations such as evil thoughts as we can “drive away a dog with a stick.” Go and talk with someone, read a book, go for a walk, go swimming, or watch a good TV show. The point is to make the effort to remove oneself from being drawn in by the thoughts that are tempting us.   While we might be tempted to feel bad about ourselves because how strong the temptation is, but we should not allow this feeling to grab hold of us and convince us to give into the temptation. Temptations to sins that we have committed in the past can have a particular stronghold over our emotion and memory. Try not to recall or give thought to sins of the past against purity. Do not give much thought to the sin against purity in terms of deciding if it was a venial or mortal sin. The less thought given to it, the more the mind is free from the temptation and occasion of sin. The fight against evil is real, and the fight against temptation is a battle. St. Michael help us be strong against the evil one who wants to defeat us.  Devotion Prayers for The Virtues Of Purity And Chastity Opening Prayer Dear Jesus, I know that every perfect gift, and especially that of chastity, depends on the power of Your providence. Without You a mere creature can do nothing. Therefore, I beg You to defend by Your grace the chastity and purity of my body and soul. And if I have ever imagined or sensed anything that could stain my chastity and purity, blot it out, Supreme Lord of my powers, that I may advance with a pure heart in Your love and service, offering myself on the most pure altar of Your divinity all the days of my life. Amen. 1. Dear Jesus, bless our social and cultural climate. Grant that our society may be purified of everything contrary to chastity, and that we may have the strength to resist the pressures of prevailing distortions of human sexuality. “In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom 8:37). Hail Mary… 2. Dear Jesus, bless our relationships. Grant that they will be holy, healthy, and honorable at all times. “Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart” (1 Pet 1:22). Hail Mary… 3. Dear Jesus, bless our efforts at modesty. Grant that how we dress and carry ourselves may veil what should be veiled, and give us the strength to resist evil fashions and the glamour of sin. “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom 12:2). Hail Mary… 4. Dear Jesus, bless our five senses. Grant that the things we see, the music and jokes we hear, our food and drink, and the encounters we have through touch may all be pure and holy. “Seek the things that are above” (Col 3:1). Hail Mary… 5. Dear Jesus, bless our sensuality. Grant that our impulses may not go after base pleasures, but will be freed by Your wisdom and inflamed for what is good. “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” (Heb 12:4). Hail Mary… 6. Dear Jesus, bless our imagination. Grant that we may be preserved from the fantasies and daydreams that defile us, that all impure images may vanish, and that we may be protected from all the assaults of demons. “Be renewed in the spirit of your minds” (Eph 4:23). Hail Mary… 7. Dear Jesus, bless our memory. Grant that no dark memories from our past may haunt us, but let Your light shine within us to fill us with a healing hope in You. “And every one who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure” (1 Jn 3:3). Hail Mary… 8. Dear Jesus, bless our power of estimation. Grant that we may quickly sense dangers to chastity, instinctively flee from them, and that we may never turn away from higher and more difficult goods for the sake of sinful self-indulgence. “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk 8:36). Hail Mary… [Note: estimation ~ ability to make judgments] 9. Dear Jesus,…
