Prayer for Purity

I will be 80 next month and I can not believe what has happened to our Catholic religion and our country since the 1970`s. Every day I see and hear things I can hardly believe. In the sixty`s our churches were full. Now they are half full and this half are mostly elderly people like myself. I pray for our church and our country. May God help us.

Pray for our priests who can teach us the importance of our INTERIOR LIVES which encompasses the Divine and supernatural mysteries if we return to the VIRTUES of Humility and Holiness by asking our Lord Jesus and Mother Mary to help us. The daily Holy Rosary is important to maintain a close relationship with the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Priests need to warn all of us that we will lose the SANCTIFYING GRACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT when we commit mortal or venial sins, unless we return to Confession We need to pray for our priests and join Cenacle groups that Our Blessed Mother has given through Father Gobbi throughout America so priests will return to her Immaculate Heart which embodies total commitment to Jesus through her purity and loving mercy. Many priests have lost their way and are unable to courageously state the TRUTH in politically charged issues. We need to hear them PREACHING THE TRUTH WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE STATED. Our Church will then begin to return to the Light.

Another great saint to pray to for purity and chastity is St. Maria Goretti. I pray to her everyday and my daughter is dating a wonderful, Catholic guy and they have taken a vow of chastity until marriage.

Quoting Susan Ruth:

How wonderful! May God bless them abundantly. Yes, besides Mary and Joseph and the Infant Jesus, veneration of the several saints who died for protecting the virtue of purity are particular helpful in protecting our own. Also are those that, although were not exactly martyred for the sake of this virtue, possessed this virtue to an extraordinary degree. So much so that their guardians angels or even Jesus himself praised them because of the super-excellence of their purity. Some examples of these saints are: St Gemma Galgani, St Margaret of Cortona and St Thomas Aquinas.

Saint Maria Goretti pray for us!

I am 75 yrs. old and I am also appalled at today's immorality the I see everywhere. I pray for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May Our Blessed Mother protect us all and our country. Why are we as citizens of this great country allowing such filth and Godlessness in our news media?
May God and the Holy Family protect us all!

As a parent of three daughters I cannot emphasise this enough to them, every opportunity I get....what with Social media there is no way that they can not know the consequences or blame anyone, it's constantly out there. Most importantly it is written in Deut 6, that we must speak to our children wherever we see an opportunity. This is a world wide phenomenon, I am South African, so this problem of the lack of purity affects us all. Many thanks for the prayer.
