Saints, those souls who have fought the good fight and made it to
Heaven, are in the best position to help us, as they can intercede
before the very throne of God on our behalf - all we have to do is
ask!
Yes, all prayers ultimately go to God. However, keep in mind that
asking the saints to pray for us is no different than asking a
friend or relative to pray for us. The saints have a special "in"
with God by virtue of having made it to God's kingdom in Heaven.
These saints have a particular predilection for helping those of us
struggling with pornography, lust and impurity -

Saint

Saint: Clare of Montefalco
(Clare of the Cross) -
O God, you chose to glorify Saint Clare of the Cross, fixing in
her life and on her heart the signs of Our Lord’s passion, so that she
might be a model of faith and an example of love. Through her
intercession, grant me a vibrant devotion to the cross of Jesus so that
I, too, may be an authentic disciple of our Divine Redeemer for the
salvation of the world.
Saint Clare, pray for me that I may be strengthened each day to
take up my cross and follow Jesus. Amen.
Saint
