This is such a GREAT TALK! Many Thanks Jeff Cavins and may you be BLESSED all the days of your life!!!

Mother Teresa said that we here in the USA that we struggle here with poverty...poverty of soul in the midst of great wealth.

[@Angel268201]

Yes. Incredible speech. Listen to Peter Kreeft on Soltzenitchen.

[@carolzappa1804]

Yes, Mother Teresa also said that: "The worst kind of poverty is to be unloved." It goes back to Christ's teaching: "They will know you are My disciples if you love one another." Mr. Cavens points out: "Love does not envy...." And, that the cure for envy is doing good for others". It all boils down to LOVE ❤ Which is the Greatest...!🙏🕊❤✝️⛪📿

Glory to God and God bless Jeff Cavins... lately, I have been having this. Long story short, I converted and tried so hard to find a man to date and marry me.. it didn't happen and I became discouraged that God wasn't answering my prayers and I noticed but tried to fight it and failed that I was sad or hurt, or bitter when someone I knew had a baby or got engaged or started dating... I was so frustrated and hurt that God blessed THEM but not me. Especially those who ignored my messages when I texted them. lol... so petty... pray for me please. I need help.

[@sue5230]

I will pray for you!🙏

[@imcat-holic10]

Righteousness, Peace, Joy and A sense of Purpose in serving God. Happy is the One Who...The Beatitudes are a latter to Heaven. Struggle against envy by exercising good.

A beautiful lesson of envy. I loved it. God Bless you all through your life to touch others life for good.

[@137997311ful]

I'm currently dealing with Betrayal. Oh, the pain in my soul. I'm having such difficulty forgiving, letting go. The circumstance that my family has been dragged into has been one of the most challenging. Our hearts our broken. Hopefully Jeff will speak on this subject some day.

[@fotyfar]

God be with u , u r so loved byHim plz, clink to Him don’t let His grace leave u 🙏🙏🙏

[@AvaCherry189]

I see your text was 3 years ago. I hope you and your family are getting though your worst of difficulty. If not I think he did speak on this. I heard him say pray for them. My daughter is going through a divorce where her husband has betrayed her and refuses to stop betraying her. I pray often for him to be free from his demons and find emotional peace. I hope you too find emotional peace. I'll pray for that.

[@ravjrsworld9796]

Beautiful!💗

[@Matio16.18]

Proud to be catholic

[@julienewman1344]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@adamhovey407]

"Envy is the Devil's Holy hour"...hmm. That is an interesting way to phrase it.

[@danielmarai1005]

Envy: ... there's something wrong about blessings being bestowed on people, and it's affecting you negatively.

[@michellejalandoni569]

I experienced envy and jealousy

[@ThoughtThinkerTomas]

"We're more complex that a dog" Jeff Cavins. Genius. water is wet.

[@adamhovey407]

Dude, you're not funny. If fact, I think the whole reason you commented here was to make us religious folks look like idiots "I'm behind a computer screen using a photograph that clearly isn't me under a pseudonym, they'll never find me"! Yeah, WE'RE the idiots.

[@ThoughtThinkerTomas]

Adam Hovey not really, at the time I wrote this I was adamant to show that religious people had nothing to prove about their faith logically. so whenever I saw a simple logical thing that a priest or religious person said, I found it funny. I was a catholic, and I remember being constantly told that the faith is not only just a belief, but something that can be arrived at logically. I clashed with that idea majestically, and now I think religious people are not dumb, but perhaps more in tune with their feelings or instincts. they have something quite vital that some of the pagans or atheists lack. an idea behind which people can gather strength and love. To a certain extent, an persons religion is their universe, and when that is the case 100%, they can do anything, it's scary, but it is possible, so I am not as doubtful of miracle stories anymore, still sceptic but I do realise that miracles do happen everyday, we just do not notice them. I think religious people, regardless if their beliefs are true or not, draw an amazing power from their subconscious. So I found a priest whose sermons I really like, and that is a reason I go to his mass. the rest of the time I just use the monotony of the service as a sort of meditation time. So all in all, yeah I like to make fun of people, and if they have a sense of humour, it might help them become more conscious of themselves. There are very many other problems about religion all in all, but if people in the future turn towards unspiritualism, I want to be one to show them a what they can gain from being more in tune with your true self, or god.

[@ThoughtThinkerTomas]

Adam Hovey well the idea behind the pseudonym is that I am trying to get rid of the imposition that your parents give you unwittingly when they name you. My name is Tomas, now Thomas was not only the philosopher but also the apostle who did not believe but when he saw and touched he believed. I think subcosnciouly due to my name, I was set on a path to question and leave my faith and eventualy reunite with it. I want nothing to do with that, because that is not freedom. so I make myself other names that mean myself a bit better. In essence I really do not have a name or one proffesion in particular. maybe even the life of aquinas is having an effect on myself, all this endless logical puzzle. I almost think that I would be happier not thinking about this stuff and just make guitars and work on my art projects. but the thinking part really is me, so I still do it, but with the difference that I do not read as much. I just talk with a lot of people, and have dialogues like the greek philosophers did. so metasublime, is me trying to find out what more there is to this sublime world that we live in. and sometimes certain people I meet can be a whole universe of beauty. So for me religion is for Sundays at best. I became physically and mentaly exhausted of the topic.
