Dispositions required for entering religious life (St. Alphonsus Ligouri)

[@simonbelmont1986]

self esteem and pride is taught at a young age, i forget how much an error esteem is if it's not directed at Christ who opened heaven to us. thank you.

The rich often so glad keeping other in poverty using religion, at the end they'll beg God for just a little chance to practice poverty and humility, only few are saved. Gospel is awesome!

[@lauraingeorgia5052]

They don't necessarily use religion so much as they attempt to utilize the goals and good brought about by religious charities. In other words, they raise taxes to quote feed the poor, etc. Yet we know that in the end very little actually goes where it was supposed to.

@@lauraingeorgia5052 correct! Government is by definition an inherently inefficient, wasteful and coercive territorial monopolist of ultimate decisionmaking and violence kept afloat by a lack of sound money ….Taxation is theft and is morally wrong and economically stupid…bring back sound money, and the globalist kleptocrats that depend on gov’t subsidies will disappear!

Did St Alphonsus write anything like this for the married state? I am currently with a woman I think I will marry and these videos nag at me a bit, although in the past my tendency towards religious life in the past has been trivial at best, I am somewhat frightened by them that I won't be saved if I don't renounce it.

Father Ripperger has a few conferences on the married life.

[@ObrezOnlyGuy]

If you are not at complete peace concerning marriage, do not marry. You’re hear ultimately wants religious life, so does mine buddy.

I WISH I KNEW THIS IN MY 20s DISCERNING THE NOVUS BENIDICTINES......NOW.......35.....I DON'T THINK ID BE A GOOD NOVICE.

[@Angelina6518]

Don’t say that. Just pray, pray, pray for discernment align yourself spiritually with your Sisters and maybe, make a Novena to the Holy Spirit, become a heart dweller and change history. Revelaciones Marianas, see Countdown to the kingdom, Heart dwellers. You’re in my Eternal prayer basket. Courage! Also, remember; “ God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him and are those called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

You don't know if you don't try, reach out to some communities. "Come and see" as Our Lord says

Experience joy with God for eternity, here’s how: There is one God who is eternally manifesting himself in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, that we are all sinners. As it is written: There is none righteous, no not one. Romans 3:10 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags Isaiah 64:6 For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word “death” in this verse speaks of spiritual death in hell.) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18 Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried,and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures 1Cor 15 3:8 In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14 For by grace ye are saved; through faith and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vein Galatians 2:21 If you would like to receive Jesus as your Savior. Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and trust in Jesus and only Jesus to save you. You can say a prayer expressing your gratitude, sorrow for your sins, etc. the words don’t matter, but remember your prayer doesn’t save you. Your trust in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross is what saves you. The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.

[@ObrezOnlyGuy]

Life is a continual moments of trusting in Jesus and offering him your will
