Heavenly Father, in this moment of reflection, I acknowledge my recent failings and ask for the support and prayers of others. I have given in to the temptations of pornography, lust, and sexually immoral behavior. I have also found myself succumbing to slothfulness at work and home, and neglected to abstain from meat on required days of observance. With a sincere heart, I seek forgiveness and the strength to walk a path more aligned with Your will. I am deeply thankful for the many blessings bestowed upon me and cherish the grace that enriches my life. In this prayer, I also remember the faithfully departed from my family, hoping they are at peace in Your divine presence. May this prayer reach others who can stand in intercession for me, offering their prayers for my guidance, forgiveness, and the repose of my ancestors’ souls. Amen.
“A Prayer for Forgiveness and Intercession”
