Hi everyone, yesterday I started my 33 Day preparation for the renewal of Marian Consecration, which I’ll be doing on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima in honour of that title and apparition. I didn’t post this prayer request yesterday because I had trouble with my iPhone, and was also busy with other things. I have been very busy these past few weeks, and have also been struggling a lot with distractions, but I have also been seeing some significant improvements as well; I have been praying to the Holy Spirit more, and have been working more on Devotion to Our Lord’s Sacred Heart and Sorrowful Passion. I would like prayers that I can open myself up as much as possible to the graces Our Lord offers me through this renewal of my Marian Consecration, and continue to improve on many areas of my life.
I couldn’t go to confession today at the Cathedral where I usually go to confession on Saturdays. Please pray that the priest at my parish is able to hear my confession, and that I develop real compunction and contrition for my sins this time, I know I’m close.
I messed up, I misjudged the priest’s behaviour, I thought he was leaving somewhere when in fact he was going to the parish hall. I get uncomfortable confessing to this priest, he’s always in a hurry and seems to dislike hearing confessions in general. I thought I was close to having a true horror of sin, now I’m questioning it. My birthday is coming up this week, I really hope that, at the very least, at the age of 28 I stop committing mortal sins.
