Prayer

Effort without prayer is like a car without fuel. It might look impressive but it's not effective. Even the most spectacular car, void of fuel would be little more than an impressive dog kennel. It is very simple, you are not determined nor courageous enough to overcome your sexual sin. You need grace, and the only gateway to grace is prayer.

“To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something beautiful for him. Purity is the fruit of prayer.” - Bl. Teresa of Calcutta

Prayer requires repentance, surrender & trust. You don't like doing any of these things and neither do I. We don't like repenting because it means that we are wrong. We don't like surrendering because it means we don't have it all under control and we don't like trusting because we have been let down by too many people, too many times. So here is the truth. You are wrong, you don't have it under control and you can most certainly trust him.

Eucharistic Adoration

"The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth,"
Bl. Teresa of Calcutta

“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth.”
JRR Tolkien

Holy Mass

“All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man.”
St. John Vianney

“If, whenever Christ's Blood is shed, it is shed for the forgiveness of sins, I, who sin often, should receive it often. I need a frequent remedy.
St Ambrose

The Holy Rosary

"The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you'll be amazed at the results."
St. Josemaria Escriva

“You always leave the Rosary for later, and you end up not saying it at all because you are sleepy. If there is no other time, say it in the street without letting anybody notice it. It will, moreover, help you to have presence of God.”
St. Jose Maria Escriva

The Holy Scriptures

“The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
Pope St. Gregory

“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of christ”
St. Jerome
