The rosary often dispels my negative thinking.

Would be great if a part 3 follows with a suggested list of scriptures and /or phases that counteract each of the negative thinking points. Thanks Fr

Thank you father Columba, I has struggling with negative thoughts and feelings this week, and I thought I could search for the topic today just now, I'm glad you posted the video. I'll pray for you, have a good day!

I can be overwhelmed with self loathing as a parent because my son is addicted and lives on the street, BUT I will NOT take credit for my daughter turning out to be a pretty cool, stable human being. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ceecee5567]

You are not responsible for your adult child’s choices.

God is the best parent, and look how we turned out. 😊 Don't allow guilt to rob you of joy. Keep praying for your son and remember God understands you.

[@caroldoidge3044]

It’s so amazing how we always overthink our errors and shortcomings and feel bad. It’s so consuming.. yet we are not perfect but I learnt the min I have those feelings I must immediately turn to Mama Mary and St Michael and ask for protection. It helps Thank you Father 🙌🏽

[@themajor333]

this is a list of cognitive distortions, these are the underlying proponents of psychological distress that CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) seek to address. For those of you interested the book "Cognitive behaviour therapy, the basics and beyond" written by Judith beck, the daughter of Aaron Beck the founder of CBT. This book will teach you how this psychotherapy works in easy to digest chapters. highly recommend it.

You are very welcome

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. Just close your eyes and say “Jesus, I don’t have faith in you, please help me believe” Jesus loves you, turn to Him before it is too late. He loves you so much that He died for you. I’m praying for you❤️🙏

Excellent timing on this video Fr! ✝️🙏 Thank you we just covered this topic "cognitive restructuring - Cog Distortion" in my substance abuse recovery program 😁✝️🙏

Father, these are great! I used this same list when I ran groups for psychiatric rehabilitation. I had them printed out on brightly colored paper and hung up in the group room. I would often refer to them as groups were being held. These groups were for adults that were diagnosed with a mental health disorder (PTSD, Depression, Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, etc.), but they can be used by all people regardless of whether they have a mental health diagnosis or not. I see people doing these all the time! I'm glad you brought them forward to share. Your words ring so true. God bless you for sharing these. I should do the same.

[@michelelewis5666]

Wow-wee!! I’m going to grab a pen and paper and watch this video again and again and again and take notes!

Thank you Father, this is something I've been wrestling with for the past eight years. I get triggered around Father's day. Hahaha, I possibly accidentally wrote all my stuff down this morning. Later, during the evening is when I found your video. God bless

[@southernlady1109]

Defeat demons by receiving Jesus Christ in Holy Communion frequently, visit Him in The Adoration Chapel, pray The Divine Mercy Chaplet & Rosary daily, listen to Gregorian chants, listen to Bible & Catechism in a year podcasts & use Sacramentals. Holy Water is a powerful Sacramental used in exorcisms, to Baptize, bless, cleanse, heal, remit venial sin, grant graces, indulgences & drives demons away. Everyone should keep a bottle & use it daily. Bless yourself, loved ones, home, work space, etc. God tells us in James 4:7 Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

We had a bard here at our Grey Friars healing service last night who was very inspirational. She was trying to inspire us to write poetry or songs , creative writing. She asked us to write there and then if we felt inspired , so i wrote this... very quickly . Its a bit like your topic so i thought i would share it here. Hope thats ok. "We can rise to Heaven Or we can descend to hell It all depends on where our minds go And where our thoughts dwell From what we see or hear Or experience in our lives And other peoples situations Good or bad or sacrifice. But the GREATEST inspiration Is the GREATEST Story ever told When God came down from heaven To make us like the saints of old."

[@wiiflix]

How beautiful, Marie! God bless you 🙏

Maybe something similar to this could be used for young people or anyone tempted by premarital sex.

[@Kitiwake]

Hi Father, I m supposed to be getting married. I'm mature and been married before and canonically annulled. This new woman is a Catholic too and of very good character but..quite headstrong and often disputes my decisions and doesn't trust them. I'm also rescuing her from immediate economic hardship. I prayed for disernment and arrived at the above very quickly.

[@user-ps7pz6bo1v]

Do you think being married to her will help you get to Heaven? Or not? Will it help her to get to Heaven? Or not? Suffering helps us to 1) be more like Jesus 2) grow in virtues we wouldn’t be able to otherwise. A sacramental Catholic marriage WILL include some suffering.

[@mariebrett2179]

Try praying "Our Lady of Good consel prayer". Pray it every day til you get an answer. You can probably get it on google.

Who is reponsible if the kid goes to hell ? The parent or the kid .How will God judge the parent?

[@user-ki2vh1uc5k]

I don't think we can really know how God will judge a person. That said, God's 2 children disobeyed Him by eating the forbidden fruit. So, if God's kids are rebels, our kids will rebel from time to time. Good parents can have disobedient children sometimes.
