Thanks to this video I finally get it why saint Rita is always shown embracing a crucifix. She preferred the love for God before her personal comfort knowing that only in God we find life.

There is a particular mortal sin that has a hold on me. God help me!

[@bweatherman3345]

Never give up. Even if it takes years. It works if you trust in God. Consecrate yourself to Mary. You are blessed because you know that you are in mortal sin. Some people don't know, and some don't care.

@@bweatherman3345 Thank you

[@simonslater9024]

Is it a mortal sin or an addiction? Look up what it mean’s to be in mortal sin because you may not be? God bless. Ps watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then Following Padre Pio. Always ask your guardian angel to help you

Interesting message. Thank you. Why the photo of a hoarder kitchen? Is this the state of our messed up souls?

[@msdebra213]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Unless they're trying to link hoarding to either a) depression, which can often be present in hoarders or b) being desirous of material things, which imo isn't really fair or kind.

[@aymeesretep8754]

I think its to symbolize our attachments to things that weigh us down and prevent us from moving closer to God.

[@miracles_metanoia]

Attachments to things of this world

[@msdebra213]

@@aymeesretep8754 If that's true, it's really unkind. Hoarding is a sign of an underlying mental disorder, usually depression, and not an indicator of a moral shortcoming. Shaming these people does nothing to help overcome their problem and is just downright mean.

[@GemGemMarie2162]

​​@@msdebra213, attachment to material stuff (abundantly so) and haording are in my opinion two different things. I don't think they were referring to haording, which I agree is a mental health issue. Someone here on KZbin did a video on why she got rid of all her high end handbags and shoes, accessories that she collected especially anything that had a logo. She gave a few reasons why but mainly it was weighing her down and all consuming of her time. Her space was impeccable, most hoarders are very very messy some don't do alot of shopping they just NEVER get rid of stuff or put things away.

[@itsgettingold]

The thumbnail choice mystifies me. The talk is partly focused on attachment to temporal things. A hoarder's environment is not about attachment to things. Hoarding is virtually always a symptom of unresolved & unarticulated trauma. Not mental illness, but a deep and unhealed mental injury. Hoarding reflects, almost always, trauma associated with loss that is not reconciled. A person who hoards is not a person actively or callously rejecting God's love, as this talk implies. More likely, the person is closed off emotionally and detached as a survival mechanism. Good talk, but really dislike the clickbait thumbnail.

[@GrislyAtoms12]

The title says "reasons", but there is really only ONE reason for not becoming a saint. And that reason is choosing your own will over the will of God for your life. That is always and only the reason, nothing else.

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

Confession is a mini exorcism. Keep going to confession for the graces received at that Sacrament. God loves us more than we could possibly realise. We must take up our Cross. Jesus will be a Simon of Cyrene to us along the road. Trust Him.

[@koolertrek]

It’s very very hard for me to be a good and faithful follower of Jesus! For some it’s very hard. I am making it harden than it has to be but nonetheless it’s still very hard for me.

[@robc8838]

Praying 4 rosaries per day has changed my life.

[@richardwatterstan]

@@robc8838 I do that, sometimes 7 a day. But I feel in the same boat. I guess I've been applying to college though. I must be where the Lord wants me because He won't tell me what to do. I should do a rosary about this.

[@mikaila1977]

What is the name of this priest please?

[@GenX-Trad]

Friar Anthony of the Marian Friars Minor.

[@claramcewen5938]

It is really simple: Jesus said to 'be perfect as the Father is perfect.' Saints? You bet!! Is it easy? No!! Not at all. Was Jesus always fed? Well rested? Valued by those He cared for? Why do we assure ourselves that saintly lives are beyond us? Are we scared that we are right??

[@MikeJames-kt5dw]

I don't know what my life even is supposed to be mate. I can barely manage 16 hour work weeks without mental exhaustion to where I can barely pray the rosary or contemplate. I don't understand people anymore than I did as a teenager. I am at peace, but I am mentally bored. I don't have any spiritual guide to help me, or even a friend I can confide in. I wish God would tell me staight up what to do with my life, because I can't figure it out.

[@MikeJames-kt5dw]

I was thinking spiritual life but I can't drive and have no way to visit monasteries at all. I would like to try Carthusians in Vermont...but I can't. Guess it's to care for my folks.

[@MikeJames-kt5dw]

i am obssessed with conflict since a child. It is a lot of what I see. Good and evil, 'left' vs 'right' etc. It tires me, but there is a part of me that loves it because in the end it can bring me an early end. Not suicidal. I just have nothing for me in my life. But a the same time I hate it. In my heart, I want people to love Him and each other and adore Him above al things but they mainly don't and it leaves a chasm between my relationship between my fellow man that I cannot fix. How do you not love Truth? or Him? How can you not pursue Truth? How can you deny Him?

[@mik569]

It's the way of living in a fallen world. Where everyone good and evil has Free will.

Msdebra213 i am not an expert on hoarding or mental illness diagnosis but i am a nurse. I agree that what youre saying ablut hoarding makes sense. Perhaps, the picture wasnt the best choice for the video but please dont let it prevent you from receiving the good message that is here. I think the intentions were pure however naive they may be about hoarding and what its cause is.

[@trollsneedhugs]

I actually avoided the video for a while because of the image. I thought the audio was going to be a chastisement on keeping a disorderly environment.

Friar is correct. :Listening to this will not improve your life. It is only information. In fact, many will be affected negatively by listening, because our culture wants only positive theological messages. Nothing about hell or damnation, nothing about repentance and reparation, near occasions of sin - Never discussed. Our Churches in the NO do not give these types of talks. It’s what our young men need to hear. Blow up your computer. I am surrounded by “Catholics” and i often pray b/c we are so far apart on what we believe as Catholics.

[@baystateobserver1648]

For those of us still suffering from either personality disorders or the effects of any form of child abuse, asking us to trust God 100% and do meditations are asking for the almost impossible. We are still wounded inside and the wounds and their effects have never been healed. The healing of that abuse and those personality disorders must come first...not last. They come first. Otherwise hope is lost for us.

[@polaramas.867]

♥️🙏🏻💔

[@lbw6081]

I recommend the Unbound ministry. It’s a beautiful Catholic ministry that seeks to heal the wounded through Christ. This was a great talk for sure but like you said , there are situations where the context is more than simply a persons not trying hard enough to give up their sin . Both can be true in a person. Hence the need for talks like this and for catholic healing ministries like Unbound

[@baystateobserver1648]

@@lbw6081 - - I listened to the first talk of theirs on their KZbin channel. And truthfully, it sounded like weak Vatican Two-style stuff I endured during my high school days. Influenced by feel-good style Protestant-lite stuff. Nothing Traditional that I could recognize. Sorry.

But I didn't ask to be created. Why do I have to prove anything to anyone when they put me into existence without my consent?

[@GrislyAtoms12]

@@davidkupiec I hear you - I didn't ask to be born either. And yet here we are, and with only 2 choices. Carolina Navarro's comments are blunt, but correct. I ask my confirmation saint to intercede for me to have resignation to the will of God. I pray this almost daily, unless I forget. I recommend you try doing that for a few weeks and see how much it helps, if any.
