Overcoming Vices (Part II)

[@brigitteschmidt4284]

“Eat one cookie, not four.” That hit hard.

[@andybonaobra1329]

It’s like having a spiritual recollection session every time I watch your talks, Thank you Father Casey.

[@50toinfinityatleast]

Absolutely!

[@CardinalConky]

father cassey Please could you pray for my aunt annie she died earlier today age 41, from a yet unkown but sudden problem. my family are devistated, as we saw here happy and healthy last week. please could you rememer her and my family during this time.

[@dymphnatherese2595]

Sending prayers, too ❤

[@dabydaby7653]

condolence

[@LisaBrandel]

Prayers up, Sweetie. May you be comforted and have the cause of all comfort!

[@joseignacio1640]

I can’t thank you enough for this 2 videos, since the beginning of this quarantine the lack of motivation of working on proyects and the constant lack of sleep, has led me to do promiscuous behavior while being bored and alone. This content, along with your “The truth about the Pornography Industry” has given me a wake up call, and a solution to my problem. As you said it will be a very tough road, but I’m determined to walk through it and get near to the kingdom. Once again Thank you father, and may god help you, help others as you did with me, i send you a sincere hug. :D Thanks!

[@stooch66]

This is the most actionable discussion on sinning. Thank you for this, Father.

[@nativoobstinado3525]

We need more priest/monks like u to guide us. Thanks a lot.

[@kasieksmasiek7253]

Thank you Father Casey, thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

[@anti_gravity8446]

I love the idea of habit as a reminder to be more Christ like. Since I can’t wear one, I’ll be wearing christian accessories such as bracelet to be reminded every moment to be Christ-like. Thank you Father Casey for your wisdom and for allowing God to use you as His voice for us. God bless you Father. 😊

[@Theodelic]

God is strange indeed. I didn’t know how much I needed this video until I got about halfway. Thank you so much Fr. Casey. God bless you!

[@charlierader4944]

Fr. Casey I can’t thank you enough for your videos, especially this 2 part series. I’ve been really struggling with some vices and this video was an an answer to my prayers. I would like to pray for everyone that’s struggling on here as well. God bless

[@jacimatosagarwala9513]

Wonderful talk! I shall forward it to my son! Pray for him! Peace and every good!

[@frankrault3190]

It's like exercising and rehearsing a beautiful though maybe not too simple piece of music. You sometimes will play out of tune. It won't help you if you start hating yourself because of that. Self-loathing just blocks your flow, putting you out of reach for a sudden helping hand. Stay focused instead, and let your hope support you if you feel like you can't manage. One day you will be able to play that music better than ever before!

[@HeyyyitsBell]

Brilliant analogy!

[@tessamartinez6977]

This is TRULY a life changing video! My hope is all who have heard it will be changed. Please share it to all your loved ones. Have PEACE! and God Bless!

[@lorettawilson7264]

I am so GLAD, that these Videos are being made for everyone to be able to learn ..Putting this on KZbin was a GREAT Idea !!! He explains things so well..Thank you for these videos...

[@arturkvieira]

Last quote was great. Thanks

[@normitaestrada9766]

Thank you, Fr. Casey. Your sharing is truly helpful. How I wish my students can listen to you, too. God bless you, Fr. Casey. I will pray for you.

[@mariomaher5200]

This is very insightful, I truly learned from the 2 videos.. I hope to stick to the habits and to develop them without haste and let the process and the grace of God work.

[@zelie1155]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you Father Casey!

[@leonpunk90]

How good was to hear that. Father, you are trully blessed, thank you so much.

[@pamelafredieu2923]

Thank you Father, I really needed this... I am going back to the basics to rebuild my life... this old lady needs some help... Thank you again Father... Be well in the Lord...

[@alvinfrancisco4456]

For me, virtue is the work of the Holy Spirit so ut matters. Thank you Father Casey. God bless.

[@baoduong2203]

Fr. Casey, thank you for this video. It gave me more perspective in how to approach our vices that I never thought of before. (Please pray for me. After 4 years of discernment I am finally entering the seminary this fall!)

[@jeffreybishop6517]

Fr Casey, I have a particular vice I have been working on for years! Your words have helped me greatly. You remind me much of Bishop Robert Barron! And that a great complement!

[@tessietesoro7407]

Thank you for all your sessions about how to stay being a good Christian catholic, we learned so many things. God bless you, Fr. Casey!

[@d.p3540]

Thank you Father

[@therealjay3819]

You truly are a miracle of God, love you man you help out a lot.

[@ericlucas82]

[@michaeljoealvarez1551]

Thank you Father Casey! I learned a lot from this. Keep us all in prayer to overcome our vices and develop virtues. Thank you. 🙏

[@emaldagodomon2412]

Thank you, Fr. Casey.

[@bernatete7142]

Thanks a lot beautiful prayer example may God bless you

[@andyrogerson8964]

Thank you Father, absolutely good stuff. You have not only inspired me to strive to be better, but also given me the tools to do so.

[@SheldonDsouza126]

Thank you for doing this video... Pray for me Fr. Casey... Tough times ahead... Hope to remember this video.

[@Coolcatsbricks]

Insightful & truthful 💕 Virtue takes time & discipline - worth it! God Bless all who are struggling 👼 Praying for you 🙏✝️💕

[@dafreyes3410]

Thank you Fr. Casey! That prayer is beautiful! I miss so much being physically at the church for prayer, but I know is just an excuse on my part, since we can't be there right now but God is everywhere. I love the Suscipe prayer(I know, it is from the Jesuits) and I will incorporate yours to my prayers as well. Thanks again, be safe. Peace and good to you.

[@anniejarain9911]

Thank you so much Father 🤝🤝

[@rjean3746]

Good one Fr. Casey

[@michaeljohnsheridan691]

Very good solid advice. Many thanks!

[@hannahbrady8745]

Glad I found this video.

[@paulkelly9803]

excellent, practical, proactive advice. This is really helpful

[@FranchesicaMiddleton]

The love of God swells in my heart listening to you! God bless you.

[@GenXer82]

FEAR (of the unknown/uncertainty) and IMPATIENCE are my two biggest vices, now more than ever. I am practicing on submitting my "full trust in God", even if everything in front of me are against all odds. Trust also helps dissolve despair very quickly.

[@elisabetta611]

Thank you for the excellent advice, Father Casey. I will try following it to the best of my ability! God bless!

[@antowngeorgemansour5632]

These Two videos are very beneficial.. Thanks father.

[@pavelavietor1]

Hello nice video 📹 thanks looking forward to the next one. Saludos Roman

[@darrellpfliger7638]

thank you i needed the information . it is gonna help my struggle a lot.

[@bennymcentire4340]

Thank you for this!

[@beverley-memawmawclarkwhit5102]

I saw your picture in the "GA Bulletin" this week.....sorry to see you go away from GA....have a good re-assignment!!!

[@johnmurfadevera]

Though you didn’t explain what “Holy” is I agree with you about forming good habits, and your example is a good example. One thing that I do is I rank the vices which ails me most. [The least I can do is know myself and be prepared when the hour of judgement arrives.] I do penance. Real charity or alms giving is one good form when you do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing as you do that charity. It took me a while to figure out that Bible verse for charity but I think 🤔 the Lord allowed for me to understand that real charity comes when you expect nothing in return. Every time I do not know my left hand that’s a miracle for me.

[@danielaromero-najera874]

Thank you for your wisdom, Fr. Casey! 🏋🏻‍♀️

[@marylaralara7839]

Thank you Fr Casey you just helped me with this beautiful words , even I am a bit depressed

[@marylaralara7839]

This is wonderful, thank you. May God bless you

[@benjaminnyendwa9260]

Nice video subscribing to this channel is a blessing because I have learnt alot

[@anastasiosomarriba6157]

Thank you Fr Casey! as always, good advise. Also, i find my self commenting to your tweets and videos a lot because you make me think and you make sense. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@anastasiosomarriba6157]

i am looking forward to Tuesday. Thank you!!!

[@emilierose9402]

This is a great video & I very much appreciated it but would only add that those dealing with full blown addictions from trauma or biological causes are likely to need professional help in dealing with the issues along with developing the virtues that will help them to cope with the issues. Great video though

[@davidallan3271]

Thank You!!

[@RecoveryReboot-f5k]

Keep up the good work!

[@lds-lab.divulgazionescient3335]

Big like for Pierre Teilhard de Chardin prayer!

[@cristineevangelio5223]

yes! and a Jesuit! 😊

[@MK-zp7gj]

Thank you for attributing the prayer as I was browsing the comments to see if anyone knew! 😊👍

[@lds-lab.divulgazionescient3335]

@The Lesser Confessor Thank you very much for remindig me why I stay away from chatolic bigotry and superstition. And by the way... no he was not an heretic. He was even cited in 2 encyclical. Even pretending to take seriously the story of the seminarian, correlation does not imply causation.

[@cristineevangelio5223]

@The Lesser Confessor he wasn't. granted that he inspired the new age movement, his philosophical ideas are still highly respected by scientists and philosophers alike. even pope francis quoted him in his encyclical Laudato si. The part where we discern in this world is everything is a gift from God as long as it helps us have a closer relationship with Him. all else must be rejected or set aside. 😊

[@amyhaleeb5527]

Thanks Father! Could you please make more videos like this?! Perhaps on ways to avoid the vice of lust. I feel that it is one that I, and I am sure many other young people struggle with unfortunately :(

[@melvinaungon8054]

Pray the rosary and read the gospel reading everyday, it will help you a lot. God bless..

[@andrew-elkins]

Fr. Casey you should read atomic habits. It's been a tool in my tool belt I've been using to overcome my vices, along with confession, Eucharist, and prayer.

[@hamotenvo223]

I saw a video a long time ago, I wanted to see it again but forgot the channel name. I one time came across this channel and found It was the same one.

[@laniramirez2443]

Happy Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua! God bless you all!

[@leyadon5277]

Wow this video helped a lot! Thanks Fr Casey 😊

[@learnmorewithlemor7842]

Thank you so much Father I declare with God's grace I can resist temptation & most especially my vices that lead me away from God

[@paulkelly9803]

who was that quote from at the end. it’s very good.

[@drcardinalli]

This was wonderful!!!

[@Andre-bi3gq]

please make more videos on avoiding sin!

[@christopherbrunetti5074]

What about the three Hail Mary prayer

[@tristenwinnaar236]

Will you be offering a reflection for Corpus Christi Sunday?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Yes. Probably on Sunday.

[@JesusIsLove2512]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

[@marteenyoungfree4246]

Examination of conscience is so mean to me cause it remind me to examine my regret moments which hurts me a lot. 😞

[@MiStErJaYEmGee33]

Which only means that we must be gentle to ourselves. The Lord is understanding...slow to anger...rich in kindness. We need to forgive ourselves and be confident in our Father's love and mercy. He is our Hope! :)

[@CantusTropus]

God doesn't want you to be hurt, He just wants you to be honest. Hiding the bad things you do won't be any good for you. And remember that God is all-forgiving and loves you dearly. Remember the story of the Prodigal Son! No matter how many times you sin or how awful they are, yes, even if they were as bad as murder, God will always forgive you if you are honestly sorry and sincerely want to do better. It might be difficult now because of Covid 19, but if at all possible I encourage you to go to Confession as soon as you can. The grace of the sacrament has been a huge help to me, and I hope it will be for you too. God bless!

[@TheAmwroble]

I’m the words of Augustine fast & then fast some more!

[@bhavyatajanathia5898]

Amen✨️🙏

[@alexanderharris1638]

Whats is the title of that ending prayer

[@josephrotondo13]

Does the Church have an official stance on physical fitness/training the body? These are all the same focal points we use in martial arts to cultivate calmness.

[@MrMajor1996]

Thank you for the great videos Father!

[@drstone1167]

⚫️ Sin⚫️ is the root cause of all that is wrong in the world 🌎 Sins of omission are often forgotten when we go to confession. ✝️ Father Casey God Bless your career as a Priest ✝️

[@erlindafields8897]

I don’t have a routine my prayers doesn’t have a routine...I need a routine ..my habits are hard to break.. I need prayers lots of prayers

[@faithfulprofessional6886]

Try the 54 days novena.

[@cplmatrim]

Ok, prayers inbound...Communion of the Saints here we go!!

[@RinaRomo]

I really recommend you pray the rosary every single night it is such a powerful prayer and has helped me overcome some evil demons I had. I also pray the divine mercy Chaplet every single day at 3pm. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@emiliomilian369]

Besides cutting off whatever would lead you to sin, how would you actively practice chastity without putting yourself in a near occasion of sin ?

[@johnpaul5055]

Thank you!

[@cha53z]

Hello Brother Casey, would it be okay to ask you add some info in the description.. for instance the closing prayer to this video, i didn't get the name. Thank you.

[@katerinafar]

smiling and greeting everyone you meet... :D. Nooo! So very hard, can we introverts have a smaller step? :) I can approve almost everything, but this is really impossible ... on the other hand, it is very useful to remember about mentioned habit of praying or another spiritual exercise with simple faithful repetition regardless of whether it fulfills us or not at a certain time.

[@michaelremillard4215]

I truly enjoy your videos . You have helped me with my conversion to Catholicism.... Covid19 has delayed.. I long to receive the Eucharist and relieving my soul with my first confession or can I give my confession to our local priest before being confirmed?

[@alondraceja9618]

♥️

[@misterfosterdulles]

Dear Father and Viewers, at the e d if video there was reference to teilhard... please consider the magisterium's position as well Teilhard's publications were viewed with scepticism by the church authorities during his lifetime, and while the Holy Office did not place any of Teilhard's writings on the Index of Forbidden Books at any point, it did publish a monitum or "warning" in 1962, specifically against the then-recent popularity of the posthumously published works by Teilhard:[21] Several works of Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, some of which were posthumously published, are being edited and are gaining a good deal of success. Prescinding from a judgement about those points that concern the positive sciences, it is sufficiently clear that the above-mentioned works abound in such ambiguities and indeed even serious errors, as to offend Catholic doctrine. For this reason, the most eminent and most revered Fathers of the Holy Office exhort all Ordinaries as well as the superiors of Religious institutes, rectors of seminaries and presidents of universities, effectively to protect the minds, particularly of the youth, against the dangers presented by the works of Fr. Teilhard de Chardin and of his followers.

[@chromebook1794]

Why is there one like 3 minutes after he posts it?

[@Sonu-tz2js]

Robot built by a Protestant, Atheist or Catholic hater. It gets triggered automatically once the video gets posted and watched by certain number of users. :D

[@blujeans9462]

Sometimes folks (like myself) hit the like button as soon as we hear something inspiring or powerful - it's just a way of saying thank you - right away. But why does that cause you to be concerned - are you upset that someone hit the like button before you? :-)

[@colinpulickal2597]

💐

[@arturkvieira]

Hi

[@Restless318]

god bless you

[@Horradar86]

Why do so many Catholics pray only using the Lords prayer, when Christ specifies that we should pray in the same manner as Him? But His statement, "After this manner pray ye", inherently implies an example not retoric to be repeated as your own, when they aren't your words. Also why do you pray to the saints as intermediaries when Christ is our only intermediary? 1 Timothy 2:5. Also why do you not teach of the divinity of mankind, as taught by Christ in John 10:33-36.

[@dorothystuhr4066]

Vices are not demons inside a person? I watched a sermon by Fr. Ripperger and am concerned that this is the case. I'm a fallen away Catholic trying to make my way back to God. A lot I don't understand. I was Confirmed as an adult in 1999. I have been involved in the new age in the past.

[@sanjanikcevic5139]

I like a chanel a lot... but in this video music is realy anoying... and I miss written list of virtues and vices...

[@icyhugs]

Wow... I catch your videos right after release again XDDD Nice!

[@dennis-qu7bs]

You need to do a video on homosexuality and the Catholic Church

[@williamtustin4490]

I'm guilty of porn addiction and the other one too. I'm 73 and would like to stop.

[@rationsofladyfingers]

These two videos were really good - up until the Teilhard de Chardin prayer.

Thank you. It’s like you’re talking directly to me.,maybe it’s the mary jane ?

[@tresornshimiye205]

First time I've ever got first comment!

[@wargriffin5]

But what if you're just a friar and you can still curse all you want.... *DAMNIT*

[@joelancon7231]

Fr. Can you please describe some acts contrary to Lust, Masterbation, pornography, or other forms of unchastity

[@Mr05241948]

Lust and masterbation are perfectly normal as is sexual desire . They are NOT vices unless they are used to abuse others.

[@andrew-elkins]

Each time you look at a woman with lust, make the sign of the cross on your forehead and say, God thank you for making this woman beautiful, forgive me for looking at her with lust, help me to see her as you see her and reverse the stain of my lustful thoughts that I built with years of indulging and acting on my desires and abusing human sexuality that you created for good. Then I'd recommend finding a friend that you can text each day a number. Each day you don't masturbate or watch porn go to the next number if you break the streak you start at zero. That same friend who is your accountability partner tell them to hold you accountable and if you fail and they see fit give them $20 bucks. Good habits aren't immediately rewarding but reward you in the long term. Bad habits are immediately rewarding and are contrary to your long term goals. If you make a resolution to combat this stuff and stick with it over time and with many failures you'll make progress and it will become more and more infrequent. Your will eventually will become more like God's and you'll start to detest porn and masturbation. All that to say it's not going to be easy but you want to make your environment set up in a way that makes it harder to do the wrong thing and easier to do the right thing. Best of luck to you as you try to overcome this vice and know you're not alone. Pray daily and remember our Lord loves you and will always forgive you but he wants you to love him and hate evil. Don't be discouraged when you fail. Immediately say an act of contrition and a spiritual communion and experience forgiveness and the grace's of communion immediately. Then whenever you can get to a priest and confess your sins. Daily mass and communion along with all those other things have helped me.

[@georgeleger]

William Jeffrey you let Jesus know that when you meet him. Objectifying women and using them to fulfill you own pleasures of the flesh is against everything Jesus taught.
