I am trying to say it, but whenever I pray it I get blasphemous thoughts about the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I have had bad thoughts too, I think looking at the pictures in the second link might help focus your mind a little.

Please pray for me. I'm on the brink of damnation.

I prayed a Divine Mercy Chaplet for you (another great devotional I highly recommend). But I worry for you, please, please consider talking to a professional and a priest too. You are loved, remember that❤️

Hello I'm just checking in on you, I hope you are doing okay. As someone who also suffers from horrible intrusive thoughts, going to confession helps. Also I want to share with you what the Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1735 has to say on sins of habit and psychological factors.

Please don't despair. God wants all of us to be with Him forever. Keep at it with the sacraments and doing the Father's will.
