Saints' Discussion Forums

I used to love reading novels, watching movies on television as well as on large screens. I no longer read novels, gone off them with time;  As for movies on television, I stand accused. I am requesting for prayers to help me overcome this vice.
 The Lord is all we have.
 In Him we trust, In Him we hope!

For your intentions. . .

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. . . Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be To the Father and To the Son and To the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning is now and will be forever.
Amen.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

Thanks be to God from whom all blessings flow that you made progress in regards to novels too.  :crucifix:

Infant of Praque Novena Prayer.

O Jesus who has said, " ask and you shall receive,seek and you shall find,
knock and it shall be open," through the intercession of Mary Your Most Holy Mother
I knock, I seek, I ask for the grace to triumph over this problem.

O Jesus who has said," all that you ask of the Father in My Name,
He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary Your Most Holy Mother,
I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted.
I ask for the grace to triumph over this problem.

O Jesus who has said," Heaven shall pass away but My Word shall not pass away"
Through the intercession of Mary Your Most Holy Mother
I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
Thank You Jesus!
Amen!

Prayers promised!

Thank you susanna  :)

Amen, amen, amen!

Amen amen.

Amen, amen, Kyrie eleision, Christi eleision.

Thank you Shin.
I do not want to speak too soon but I have been a lot on the internet, preparing for the saints, etc. Late into the night at times so I leave no time for movies. When I am tempted to watch the telly, I put on Sky News usually and I like to watch their news untill I am dozing . So please keep remembering me in your prayers. It is reaching the right ears  ;D

It's great to hear!

I'm praying and I feel quite hopeful and confident. :D

There's nothing like reading and learning about the saints for improving one's spiritual life. :D The more we surround ourselves with the saints, the more we learn what it's like to live in Christian culture, the Christian life.

My own spiritual life has been improving lately as I work to become more temperate in everything I do. I still have far to go however! Moderation in all things..

Lent is such a splendid season for working on things like this. Everyone is working at it together so the spiritual benefits are all around.

Every day is a new day to begin again. :D

Amen to that!

What do you make of this?
Yesterday, for the first time since I subscribed to Mutichoice, a multichannel digital satellite television oparator in this part, I noticed EWTN channel  :)
Was it a new addition? I have not asked, possibly.
Has it always been there and though I have eyes I could not see? Possible  :)
Anyway, there was daily Mass in progress when I tuned it. I joined of course . This was followed by the Rosary by a group of nuns. I joined them . Then came some discussions attended by some young seminarians. That is now when I stopped. So The Lord is helping me a lot in my resolve.
Blessed be God.
 Thank you all

I watch EWTN too, but I'm cautious as there are some modernist programs I don't agree with.  I record some of the Catechism children shows , Bible story cartoons etc for my kids to watch and many of their programs are good.

I am glad to hear that Patricia. I will be cautious too and go only for programmes like  Bible discussions, Rosaries, Masses etc.

Amen. Ave Maria!

Infant Jesus of Prague, help us!

Amen, amen, amen.

I know you all are disappointed somewhat that I still turn on the “one-eyed monster” (from Shin’s post). We will leave that hanging in the air for the time being. :)
I did turn it on yesterday and I was immediately riveted.
There he was, the man whose book, "A Father Who Keeps His Promises".
 I have pestered relatives abroad into sending, as I could not get it locally. The same man whose  Bible commentaries, tend to open my eyes to the deeper meaning of the Sacred Pages, something I am never able to discern for myself. All I ever see is the literal meaning of the text, nothing else. Scott Hahn was covering the various Covenants God had and still has with His People.
I liked what I heard.

Well, you have to make the decision on your own of your own free will, in your own time.

I am happy to have the saints to read. :D

Amen amen.

May the Lord help you to keep busy with spiritual things so you haven't any time for television.  If you do watch television may you stick to Catholic networks.  May you make more time for mental prayer (and your rosaries), for spiritual reading, scriptural reading, charitable works, etc..  May you speak frequently to the Lord throughout your day and persevere in a state of grace.  Amen.

I am going to resurrect this thread to ask for prayers as I try to quit the internet - another one-eyed monster.

Prayers for your intention!
