I'd like to stop masturbating on the Net. It is affecting my studies, my ability to concentrate, and most of all it is deviating me from God's love and from realising His plan in life for me. Oh Lord, help me to overcome this sin!     - Anon

PRAYER FOR FREEDOM FROM ADDICTION

Lord Jesus, You said, "I have come to set the captives free." We are captive and need your healing touch. Free us, Lord, from our addictions, so that we will be: ..free from the cares and worries that stifle our happiness;
..free from sins that cling to us, and to which we cling;
..free from all compulsive behavior that prevents us from becoming what you, Lord, have planned for us. Bring us, loving Savior, to the experience of abundant life which you promised. Amen.
 - Greg

What finally helped me in pushing aside pornography, was the final realization that so many of these women who are being used in porno are victims of childhood sexual abuse. Each of these women are treasured by Our Lady and loved by Jesus. They are souls to pray for, not use. When I go into a little shop surrounded by porn magazines, I actually put my hand towards them and pray for their Spirits to be rescued.  This puts pornography into it's right perspective and helps me see Jesus, Mary, and Mary Magdalene in all of women.  - LP

My mother had a heart attack early Friday morning. She was deprived of oxygen for a short period of time and her heart stopped beating. The EMTs arrived very quickly, however, and were able to rehabilitate her. Currently she lies on a hospital bed. She is unconscious and not responding to anything or anyone. Please God, If you could, please give her the strength to wake up and get well soon. I can't explain how much I love her and how much my sisters and I need her in our lives. Please let her recover soon, because she deserves to get through this episode, she has been through so much in her life. God, please help and heal her. Thank you so much for listening. - Michael

Peace be unto each and every one of you,

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

O Eternal Godhead,
You, who gave Your one and only Begotten Son,
Jesus Christ,
He poured forth His blood,
For our redemption and salvation,
May we, His bride, the Church,
Continue to remember His salvific death on the Cross,
And cease to nail Him on the Cross,
For each time we sin.
And may this Advent season,
Open our hearts and our minds,
To pick up our daily cross,
And walk with Him to Calvary.
Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary,
Refuge of Sinners, Health of the Afflicted,
May we walk in His ways
Abandon our old life and put on the new life.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, who reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us.
St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us.
St. Margaret Cortona, pray for us.
St. Michael the Archangel, protect us.
All you heavenly angels and saints, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, praised be Jesus Christ, for Paul and this apostolate.  The Holy Trinity has certainly used Paul as a tool to help us all turn towards Christ and turn away from sin.  At one point of time, I asked God why I had been afflicted by this sin of lust.  It is my husband who is deeply affected by this sin but the consequences affect us as a family.  As I reflect upon it now, I realize that it is both my cross and my husband's to defeat the attacks of Satan on the purity of the body, created by Our Lord. 

Thanks be to God, my husband is free from pornography for the past 9 months.  All praise, glory and credit be to Jesus Christ, for without His grace and mercy, both my husband and I would not be where we are now.  Our family pray the rosary daily, even with our young children.  We lift up the prayers on the prayer wall of this Apostolate every day, especially when we're at mass.

I read with great empathy, the prayers of you, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.  Some tears were shed and I offer up these tears for those struggling with this sin of impurity.  And I do my best also to offer up my daily life for your prayers.  Keep on praying, hold steadfast the faith in God.  He listens, believe me, He truly does. 

I would also like to recommend the Theology of the Body, a 12-tape set of the compilation of Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul's teaching on the body as created by our God.  It is truly a life-changing study and will have a deep impact on your spiritual life.  You may find out more about this study at
www.giftfoundation.org.

From personal experience, I have found desperate measures call for desperate measures.  My husband and I took radical measures to get to the root of the problem.  This is a working progress, even in our household but ask yourself, is your house a sanctuary?  Is it free from any and all kinds of impurity?  Both my husband and I prayed about this and worked hard towards making our house free from any and all kinds of things that would cause the near occasions of sin.  This may be a tough road to travel, but we are all called to 'the road less traveled', to 'walk the narrow path to Heaven'.  It is a sacrifice but worth the price/prize.  And what is this price/prize?  HEAVEN! 

I pray that this Advent season will help us all to reflect on our spiritual journey, as we prepare the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. 
May the peace of Christ be unto you and your families.

Please pray that I will overcome a compulsion to pornography.  It is not a really big problem but periodically about twice a year I tend to suffer from depression for short spells and I notice it is always accompanied by a strong desire to watch internet pornography.  I have a wonderful wife and lovely children and I couldn't be happier in my personal life.  So i guess it is very much related to my depression.  I pray a lot and realise that this is my cross.
yours in Christ. - Gareth

Dear Lord,
Please help me to overcome my addiction to porn and lustful thoughts.
Also, please help me meet a nice female companion for a normal and upstanding relationship. To enable me to talk and be with a real person.

My Husband is practicing catholic and addicted to porno, very badly. He blames me for his addiction. I am pregnant with our fourth child and he is also abusive, an alcoholic and pot head. I have no family to go to, the church can't help, I do not work and have not for five years. I stay home with my children. I found a whole bag of tapes he had out the other night when he was drinking but I can not find them now. He was up when I saw them. I dare not have tried to get them. Please pray for his release of bondage and for  my children, Thank You and God Bless. - Angie

Dear Lord,
Please help those on this board and around the world who are struggling with this wicked addiction.
I myself was addicted for over two decades and I hated my life.
But through prayer and more prayer I have made tremendous progress.  Of course I have to "police" my activities which I partake in.  My advice is you have to believe in yourself and realize the Lord loves you.
I prayed for a few years and of course I had setbacks many times. (Sure, I was obsessed with lustful and impure thoughts daily). Yes I became discouraged and felt like I failed.  But remember when you are weak you are strong.  The Lord can only help when you realize you need Him. I many many times felt unworthy of His help and love.  But when I admitted my faults to Him I started to break away from being a slave to my addiction.  I just said "No" to temptation and I still do everyday.  These may help some of you:

1 Corinthians 10
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
May God Bless You All, Phil

October-03
I've been girl-crazy for as long as I can remember and I can never seem to keep relationships with girls off of my mind. But I continually seem to give wrong signals or the Father of Lies has simply been tempting me with this so often and I'm tired of fighting against it. I want to be free of this vice and the cheapening of myself when in my despair I turn to pornography. I want to be fulfilled by God's grace and to always be thankful for that grace and forgiveness to keep me protected from the temptations set before me. - Bernie

Dear Lord,
I ask that you forgive the purveyors of sin, the porn producers, sellers and actors/actresses.

My husband is addicted to pornography, but he won't admit it.  I found it was a problem last year when he had free access to the Internet.  We have small children and I was finding icons show up on our start up screen with XXX and other disgusting words.  When I confronted my husband he said he didn't know how they got there.  The pattern continued until I confronted him again and he admitted that he did it.  I installed a privacy manager and when he couldn't access his porn he began pacing.  He begged me for the password.  We went through a few really bad months and then he said he would stop.  With the power outage this year, the privacy manager went down and he started up again.  When I went to the computer again, there was a disgusting home page that had attached itself to our computer were all could see.  It showed 4 vivid porn movies all at once.  I confronted him again and we started therapy.  He continues to lie about what he is doing.  He brings movies into the house and says that he doesn't.  I went to the video store to check what movies had rented and the same day he said he didn't have any, he did only they weren't in the house, they were in the garage and he brings them in when we were gone.  I am a youth leader and one Sunday we went to youth group, but had to return unexpectedly.  My daughter caught my husband with his pants down running to the TV to turn off his movie.  I walked in after her and saw the same things.  The lies still continue.  My husband resents my work with the church.  He is a Catholic, but doesn't see the pornography or masturbation as a sin.  Any time I bring up what the bible says, he gets furious.  It seems like the devil has possessed him. 
The bible says that the only time you can divorce is for adultery because it is such a hard thing to come back from.  If my husband won't admit that he has an addiction and a sin, what am I to do with 3 children in the house.  I want the cycle of porn to stop. - Sandra

I am now going to rededicate my life to Jesus Christ. Having been Catholic now for 2 years, I have not been able to put behind me the calls of the flesh. Please pray 1) That I may truly make an act of the will to put pornography and masturbation behind me, and 2) That I may persevere in Faith, Hope, Love, and Purity, so that I may one day enjoy the eternal vision of Christ. Thank you. - Jason
October-03
My Lord Jesus, I am so sorry for yet again giving in to temptation and disappointing You my God and Saviour. You have done so much for me and I continue to crucify You to the cross. Please give me the strength to avoid this curse from my life and for
all others undergoing similar trials.  I know that through You all things are possible. Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven please pray for us sinners, especially those in the pornography industry.
God bless you all. - C.S.
October-03
I am a sex addict.  It took me time to realize that I have all of the symptoms and all of the emptiness and anger at the core of any addict.  I don't enjoy my addiction and would truly like to have peace in my life.

My problem is that I seem to be that when I break out of the cycle of acting out sexually, I act out with abusive words towards the people that I love the most.  Its almost as if I have turretss syndrome of the voice box.  I will say something hurtful and then regret it immediately.

I'm clever and know exactly which words will hurt the most.  In the end I hurt myself more than anyone because I hurt people I truly care about and they have to leave eventually to protect themselves.

I attend mass regularly, I receive the sacraments and always have.  Why am like this?  I hate it.  I'm in a relationship now, but have hurt my fiancé with words several times in the past month.  I truly wonder if I'm possessed sometimes.  I have been through the therapy thing for years, but I still blurt out these mean things.  When I don't do this, I am a good decent guy.  I like an awful lot of things about myself, but I hate this, and it continues to drive me to loneliness and despair, because I'm hurting the people that I love.  In time I will be all alone.

What can I do? - Tom
October-03
Please pray for my fiancé who is addicted to pornography. Also please pray for my discernment, I have a decision to make (whether to marry this man) but if he is deep into this addiction I will not be able to. St. Joseph, Pray for us. Most Sacred heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us. - anonymous

Greetings and Peace,
Please pray for me! I've been struggling with my addiction to porn for years. I fall constantly as if I have no power over it at all.

Please help to resist temptations and in times of need to pray and not give in to sinful actions. - a soul in need
September-03
Please pray for me. I am a Catholic who has many times confessed a problem with looking at pornography. I just can't seem to control myself. Lately I have been going to confession weekly and praying a lot of Hail Mary and Our fathers, and it has helped me, especially as I wander around in a world full of sexually provocative images, but the lust still surges up in me, and I don't know what to do. It's like I get numb and I don't care about right and wrong, my conscience is damaged. Maybe I need a big crucifix on my wall to remind me of what our Lord suffered because of my sin.  Please pray for me that I might be healed, and commend me to the care our Lady, and invoke the aid of any other saints you think might intercede for me. - Warren
September-03
Dear Jesus,
September has been very hard on me. I've constantly been battling this affliction, often times losing very badly. The one constant is our Savior Jesus Christ. Every time I enjoy the sweet temptation of pornography my bliss is cut short by disappointment. I feel Jesus' shadow over my naked body and I know that I've failed. But I WILL conquer this, just as we all will, with the help of Our Lord. - Tim
September-03
I am applying for a professorship at US and Australian universities, such as Princeton, Berry, UTS, Wright State, Texas Tech, and Deakin Universities.  I am a graduate from a Korean university. I know that it is not easy to become a professor at a foreign university.  Please pray for me so that I can get a permanent teaching position this time.
Thank you. - SB

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Merciful Father, We come to You today; placing our lives into Your hands.  We consecrate our families to You.  You, who hear the prayers of everyone, including sinners.  Make us holy; make our thoughts, words and actions holy.  Grant us the desire, the thirst and hunger for You.  Listen and lift up the prayers of everyone in this prayer wall, and many of those who don't have anyone to pray for them.  By the shedding of Your Most Precious Blood, may You cleanse us from our sins.  Teach us to hate sin, Father!  Teach us not to grow affection for sin.  You, the Fountain of Love, may the Holy Spirit ever reside in our hearts, bodies, minds and souls.  As for the wounded spouses and families of pornography addicts, please take the broken pieces of their hearts and make them whole again.  Please, Father, may they hold steadfast in their faith in You; to never give up hope.  Through You, there's everlasting hope and happiness.  You have not died for us in vain.  Whenever we stray from the path of holiness, grab our hands and guide back to You.. Yank our hands if need be, but please grant Your grace to lead us back to You.  We ask this through Christ Our Lord, who reigns with You and the Holy Spirit.  One God forever and ever. Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy us!  Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!  St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!  St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!  St. Jude, pray for us!  St. Joseph, pray for us!  St. Michael, the Archangel, protect us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.  May God richly bless you eternally. - TM

September-03
Please, pray that God may completely restore the relationship between Auriel and me. Thank God that Auriel has come back to me and has had the idea of giving us a second chance and mending our relationship. Please, pray to God that he will feel more motivated and that he may realize that it makes sense to stay together. That with God all things are possible. That marriage and stability are a true blessing. thank you! God bless you. - Tytti
September-03
Dear Lord,
I ask with solemn heart for your forgiveness and ever-lasting mercy.  The impurities which I have filled my life with have brought both myself and my loving wife down the path of sin.  Tempted by pornography, we found ourselves falling headlong into the depths of depravity.  So blinded by lust, even the sanctity of our marriage bed was polluted by tempting others weak in the spirit to join us in our lustful sins.  Dear Lord, you came to us in a sign that we could not deny.  We ask you for mercy not for us, but for the souls of the women we corrupted -- and to all those who share our weakness.  -- Arthur V.
September-03
Dear Lord,
I thank you for helping me to begin to conquer my porn addiction. The first step is the most difficult.  Plus, I  have to realize one of the most powerful tools of the devil is "discouragement."  With you grace and blessing I know I will prevail. God Bless You. - Fran

To my fellow sinners,
I just pray that one day the light of the Lord will open our eyes to a world free of tyrannical pornography.  This is a disease that I have suffered for 9 years this Spring.  I have gone three and a half weeks without tasting the fruits of the devil.  I have failed you Jesus, but I pray that redemption exists in this world for sinners like me.  God Bless. - James M

Pray, my brothers and sisters in Christ, for my brother, David, who is locked in this sin and so far has not been willing to really, truly, look at it for what it is.  He has the most loving, Christian wife a man could have, and is on the verge of losing everything precious because of porn on the internet. Please pray for them!!!  Most gratefully, Tina

Please pray for me and my family.  Sometimes we don't take the time with each other like we should. But it's not that we don't love each other it's just that we get busy. Please pray for me that the job that I am doing will get a little easier soon. I have worked with special ed students for over 14 years and this year has to be one of the hardest so far. Please pray that things will get better for me. Thank you and God Bless. - Jackie

Dear Lord,
Please help me beat my porn addiction.  I believe porn is the second greatest evil, second only to abortion.  Porn destroys the mind and soul, which effects the ability of a person to bond with the opposite sex in a healthy, moral relationship.
I ask the Lord to free all those suffering from this heinous addiction. - Charles

I am weak and I admit I have failed. - F Chuck D

I need help in going to confession.
my sins are great.. impurity is at the very top of the list.. next comes lies, selfishness, cowardice, killing my neighbor's dignity by slandering there good name...this is just the tip of the iceberg...
I need help and prayers to go to make a good confession.. so I guess my question is will you pray for me..
I don't like going to confession face to face.. I know a lot of people stopped going when they changed it. even my own kids refused  to go, face to face.. guess we still want the privacy of the confessional..

Please pray for me.  I have lived in a cycle of compulsive masturbation for over forty years and have recently become addicted to internet pornography as well.  I go to Reconciliation regularly but usually only get a few days relief before it all starts up again. 

I am really stuck in this cycle which is now dominating my life to a marked extent.  Please pray for my deliverance and that I will have the strength to cooperate with God's grace.

Thank you. - Peter

August-03
This is for a very dear friend of mine Her name is Ruth and we are in a platonic relationship and are now 1100 miles apart. I love her dearly and have asked her to marry me. Yet she does not understand her need to control her sexual desires and will go from casual affair to casual affair without serious commitment and it only makes her situation worse. She is very gifted spiritually but does not know how to control the sacred fire. Please pray for her that she will seek abstinence and purity of body, mind and spirit. At present she is in serious danger of bodily harm by someone who has beaten her several times in the past and this person she is with will do it again. Thank you. - Joseph

I feel like I am in bondage.  I am a believer, though I am not catholic.  I came across this site by accident almost.  I've been struggling with pornography and masturbation for a couple years now.  I am very ashamed of this addiction and I feel/know that it is hindering my relationship with Christ.  I feel like such a hypocrite sometimes.  Please pray that the Holy Spirit would give me the strength I need to put to death this sin in my life, for His Names sake. thank you. - Daniel

Thank You.  A few months ago I came across this website and it has changed me.  I've used the rosary and the prayers and chaplet to St. Margaret of Cortona.  Margaret's story gave me hope, faith, and devotion; but, most of all, the fear of the loss of heaven and pains of Hell.  I live my life in prayer and attend Sunday Mass and Confession.  I love you Lord,  thank you for your blessings. - SG

I have removed the internet from my home computer, thrown away all my pornographic material and ended my cable subscription. I pray the rosary as often as I can for those that share my addiction. Despite all of my efforts, however,  I still can't break free of the devil's grip on my sexuality. I need Jesus and I need all of you. Let us pray right now for everyone that has posted on this site or is thinking about it.
Lord Jesus,
You are all knowing and all powerful. You came to earth as a man and conquered sin on the cross for our redemption. We humbly ask you to forgive our sins and embrace our broken spirits. Grant us the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to see though satan's lies. We will pick up our crosses daily and walk with you to our redemption.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Would like people to pray for my soul. It is in jeopardy.
I was once 2 years ago, a web mistress. Performing acts that I am very ashamed of in front of the camera. I have done things that I try not to remember. It was like I was a different person. I am forever embarrassed. I had done what I was told to do by my husband, whom I am no longer with. We lived in sin for one year, till I could no longer take it. I have seen things in real life that looked like I was viewing into hell. I ended it there. I have not since been in front of the camera. The promiscuity I was involved in has almost come to a halt. It is like an addiction. I unfortunately give myself away too fast and feel guilty afterwards. I give in so quickly hoping that the person will love me. But I know in my heart it will never happen like that. Please pray that I may keep away from temptation and be able to break free of this curse I have lived so long. I need it badly. Thank you.  - Rebecca

Please pray for my family which is in danger of destruction as a result of pornography. Please pray for our strength and ability to forgive, please pray for the enlightenment of my husband who is downplaying his problem, and is not aware of how close to losing his family as he knows it. Blessed Mother, envelope us in your grace and intercession, consecrate us all to your immaculate heart, pray for us,
St. Michael, defend us in battle against the enemy. -Wendy

Please join me in thanking God for His grace, which makes me feel the disgust when I engage in my addiction to internet pornography and masturbation. Dear Lord, I throw myself at your feet, I need help. Everything seems to be going along fine and then "bang" I engage in the sin. How shameful to have to go to confession each week for the very same thing, things you cannot even confess for fear of corrupting the priest. Please pray for me my brothers and sisters and I will pray for you. I want to print a message that will read "Get thee behind me satan!!!" and paste it on my office door, which is the door I lock when I want to engage in my sin in private (though I know God sees!). Help! Help! Help! Lord; We truly cannot do it on our own. Please Lord..

Hello,  thank you for all your prayers in the last months for my marriage.  Things are NOT getting better as I hoped.  My wife Misty has now said that she wants to go a head and get a divorce. Because of things that have happened to Misty in her past, she is afraid of men!  even I have contributed to that some. One of the biggest problems I think is that she has given up on this being able to work, where I still believe GOD can restore it.  We are seeing separate counsel now instead of going to the same one, Since Misty has started seeing her counselor, she has become very distant, and does not want to speak to me except on the telephone.  She also says we need to start dating other people, were not divorced yet!!  So please pray with me that Misty will get the counsel she needs for her heart to heal.  I still believe GOD can restore our marriage. Also Misty has not been attending church for the last several weeks, pray that s!
he will get back in church.  This really needs to be corrected QUICKLY!!  We have been separated physically for 6 months now and we have 2 children…. As a matter fact,  I am tired of the devil playing havoc with my marriage!  He has been doing it for years, and I say it ends TODAY!!  In Jesus name!
Thank You

It is funny how God is working in my life. For many years I have suffered from SA, although did not know what it was until a few years ago.  I have been praying for a while to are lord to help me to make me the man that I know that I am. THis subject is difficult to me because I am married.  I truly do love my wife and everytime I masterbate i feel guilt of betraying her.  I want to tell her but the pain of seeing her hurt would be agonizing to me maybe that is a selfish reason all I want to do is make her happy.  I know that i did not find this site by accident that I was meant to find it and that God guided me hear. Thank you.

I commend your site, i'll add this: at Fatima our blessed mother showed the children hell, after they asked ,who goes there dear lady, she said the souls that go to hell are those who have no one to pray and make penances and sacrifices for them. note what so many miss ,to prevent this, God ,not her wants to establish in the world devotion to my immaculate heart for the conversion of sinners, the pope has said on many occasions and know go to Mary, and as she asked under the title THE IMMACULATE HEART, that is satans greatest fear, for in dwelling in the immaculate heart is the sacred, also the book true devotion to Mary is the understanding, that saint st louis de montfort fought porn in his time par excellence, and along with the little flower will help you find Home Heaven. I'll be praying with and for all, remember at Fatima ,she said the daily Rosary, she wants us to pray the daily rosary, Jesus said i did not come to bring peace, but a sword!  Any Christian that prays it will see it is our sword, all the best.
