D - May 2003

May-03
Q: Please pray for me - first it is just laziness at work so I start roaming the web - then one things leads to another and I start looking at pornography which then hooks me every time.

Would be happy to hear any suggestions.

Thanks for your prayers - I will be praying to for all people who are caught in this insidious web.

A: Dear D,

Our Lord said, "If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out!"
Obviously, he did not mean this literally.
What our Lord is saying is that we are responsible for avoiding any and all near occasion of sin.  If we know that the internet is a source of temptation for us, install Internet Filter Software (I recommend
CyberSentinel).

Remember that when we waste time at work looking at pornography, we are committing two sins - lust and theft, because we are stealing from our employers, being paid for time that we should be working diligently and are not.

It is imperative that everyone in your situation make use of frequent (weekly) Confession.
This cannot be emphasized too strongly!

Pray constantly, too, for the grace of self-discipline and the grace to keep busy with useful and productive matters, especially at work.

Seek and follow God's Will.  He will help each and everyone who asks.

You are in our daily prayers.
God Bless!

Paul @ PornNoMore
