Blood of Christ, sanctify me.
This is what a traditional priest told me to say whenever a sinful thought enters my mind. Easy isn't it? Remembering to actually do it is the hard part. Meaning it is something else. It is a cry to Our Lord to give us the grace to let go of all attachment to sin. Now, if only I can remember to implement it...

Holy cow! Thank you, thank you, thank you. See, last Friday I went to confession and confessed this problem that only occurs during Mass and nowhere else so, given the nature of the thing, it feels very much like an attack. I have times where I see (not literally) people, OK women, without clothes or without some clothing. I can't be alone in this yet it is distressing. It's not sin because I shudder at the thought and go no further but it is embarrassing and distracting. I asked my confessor what to do about it. He focused on the explanation above but what a great thing it would have been to have been told by a priest to say this prayer. So a big thank you!
Me too. Nice reminder.
Owen, I'm glad this post helped you out. I knew there must have been a reason for publishing it as I kept thinking about it while I was sleeping! As soon as I got up this morning, I went ahead and posted it.
Owen, there is a little booklet you might want to read, available through Tan books; it is called Devotion to the Precious Blood. After you read that, the little prayer this post is about will have a truly deep meaning for you.
My daughter is now working at the Catholic bookstore I worked at briefly (9 months) so I'll see if she can pick that up. Thanks.
Owen, my priest said to pray the Litany of the Precious Blood to purify thoughts. I did a post on it
here and if you scroll down a bit, you will see the Litany. There is even a Latin version!
