You guys know me, I'm so reluctant to post prayer requests because I've been discouraged in my protestant years to think that they're a Christian form of gossip. So with that in mind, I'm coming to ask a very specific PR:
I need God's help with purity. My language has become terribly foul since converting, and I think I had some backwards logic in my head that Catholics aren't puritans to swearing isn't a big deal, and I've gone ham with my language ever since. I don't want to impart bad habits to my kids, fortunately I've done a relatively good job so far of keeping it clean around them and other family members, but it's only a matter of time before I slip and my almost-two-year-old drops an F bomb.
I also have been thinking so much lately about Our Lady of Fatima and her note to the seers that most of the souls in hell are there because of sins of the flesh. I struggle with things just like any guy, it's been an addiction for over 25 years now. If you can pray the Lord take that from me as well.
I wanna get back into the habit of daily rosary. I was doing pretty well with that during the first half of 2020 and there were a lot of dividends from that practice, but I fell out of it and now I hardly pray the rosary at all.
So purity: purity of language, purity of mind, purity of body, purity of faith. Across the board.
Thank you my friends, I appreciate it.
And since I need to work on praying more frequently myself, feel free to message me with any prayer requests of your own.
