Thorn in my flesh

(Manila)

I ask for your prayers, brothers and sisters in Christ and the Blessed Mother, for greater strength to bear this thorn of same sex attraction that plagues me.

It is a burden, I know, that is here, which can be my passport, if you will, to heaven; if I persevere in God's grace.

There are times, however, when I just let go of Christ and our Mother, and give in to temptation. I do not need to go into details. I only know that I need prayers for more strength, hope, and more love for myself and others.

I believe that God continues to mold me. Please help me pray for more docility, too.
