Pray for One Another<br/><br/>

According to a report in Toronto’s Catholic Register on July 4, there is an increase in the number of people who frequent pornographic websites. Since sexually explicit material is so easily accessible on the Internet and can be repeatedly displayed to provide instant physical stimulus, people of weak will can easily get hooked.<br/><br/>

These sensory provocations induce neurochemical changes that affect the human body like gambling and drugs. Dr. Jennifer Schneider and Dr. Robert Weiss estimate that 8 – 10% of the viewers of pornographic websites become addicted.<br/><br/>

A psychiatrist of the Toronto Centre for Psychotherapy and Emotional Bodyworks, Dr. John Pitt, says that addiction to sexually explicit material has very far-reaching consequences to both the individual as well as the individual’s family and therefore requires treatment.<br/><br/>

Fr. Ron Mercier is a professor of Ethics at Regis College of the University of Toronto. He points out that prayer, confession and reverence of Holy Mary are effective means of treatment. There are two drug rehabilitation centres in Medjugorje: one for men and the other for women. Their principal treatment methods are prayer and piety to Holy Mary. Prayer and psychiatric therapy form a powerful treatment combination.<br/><br/>

Please remember those who have a true desire to renew their lives in your daily prayers.
