Detachment - Fr Ripperger

[@carolinanavarro9076]

Im kind of shocked at how few views,comparatively, and timewise, this important video has gotten...such an important video.

Fr Ripperger has helped me a lot in deepening my faith. I learned a lot from him from all the Sensus Fidelium postings. Thank you

Lent is a great time to break attachments.

Yes thank you fr ripperger teaching me the ways, been studying, working mortification and self denial

[@lucybrown4200]

I detached from Facebook last Friday. People don't realize how addictive social media really is. Not only is it addictive, I truly believe it is rewiring our brains. I challenged a good friend of mine to quit Facebook with me. She couldn't last through Saturday.

[@mariangelasanabria9049]

God took the man I loved to heaven, that helped my spiritual life beyond anything I could do, then he nearly had me lose my son. I was allowed to feel the full weight of purgatory, that God would not help me keep my son with me, and I was given the grace to detach in favor of God's Holy Will, praying for the grace of final perseverance the whole time, because I felt my heart breaking to the point of death. Once I detached miracles happened and my son is still with me!

Fr. Rippenger you have helped me so much in learning the truth faith ... as you quoted from Saint John the Cross, - From creatures for perfect union with God - God is everything, God is ALL, the necessary and absolute being most pure act without shadows of potency who exists of himself and possess the absolute plenitude a being, he is goodness itself, for us to pursue anything other than him in the end isn't really rational." --- Great Summary

well. When I was a kid, after my first Communion I started to love the host because it tasted much better than any of the other oblates that were not consecrated. So, you can think of the Eucharist as very tasteful. I always wanted to have oblates but none tasted as good as the Eucharist!

[@careybowden4864]

It is very difficult to practice detachment, for example, when you are supposed to be attached to your newborn; but it must be a different kind of attachment than the kind we are supposed to completely remove as we progress in the spiritual life. Obviously, our children ultimately belong to God, and not us, so that is one thing to keep in mind.

[@Mrstgarcia]

There's nothing unholy about being attached to your newborn. That's a natural healthy way to mother. He's referring to unhealthy appetites not our children. The ultimate way to be a good mother is to teach our children how to love our Holy Mother through our love for them and especially by teaching them to love our Holy Father, God, by guiding them, healthy discipline, faith formation, mercy, and unconditional love. God made you attached to your children as those children are His Gift to you. He trusted you enough to give you them and it's up to you to show them His Love right back and give them back to Him in His Holy Sacraments.

[@amyt7378]

I almost lost my son in a car accident when he was 8(he is now 13). They basically told me he most likely wouldn’t make it. He ended up being in the hospital for a month and miraculously made it through. The hospital priest gave him Last Rights, and he was there for me every moment ❤️ The first night the priest said to me, which was heart wrenching but somehow somewhere deep in my psyche, also consoling, “He is on lend to you Amy, he is not yours to begin with, if Our Lord decides to take him honey, he is going home to his rightful owner.” It made me somehow in my sorrow and agony, think of things in a different light. It didn’t take the sorrow of possibly loosing him away, but it reminded me that my son is not in fact “mine.” He is Gods and he is on lend to me 🙏 I think it’s beautiful and necessary to be attached to our children, but knowing this fact, that our babies are, “on lend” to us from our Lord, is maybe the “detachment” we need as parents? ❤️🙏 That was the first thing that came to mind for me and only because of what the priest said to me, otherwise, I don’t think I could have comprehended it. ❤️🙏

[@daisyviluck7932]

Or else, a lot of parents follow their children into sin. They’ll hang the pride flag, happily attend the commitment ceremony, because the kid demands it. I’ve seen too many people deny Jesus and leave the church to follow an lgbt kid and applaud the whole way

[@aeptacon]

[@gracewhite1601]

[@JackGleason543]

Lol

[@DN-pn7rj]

I think that what this lesson is saying (in simple terms) is that .....first we must tap into the current of God's Love.....then we can love everything else through the Love of Christ. If we try to live in our own strength it will fall very short of what is True Charity. So if we love something or someone we should lay them at Christ's feet. Detach from them completely and give them to God. Then we can re-connect in through Christ. Like we extend the current of God's love to others because we are First and foremost tapped into God. Am I understanding that right? If not Father please correct me. 😊

[@DN-pn7rj]

God's current flows like perfect charity From God (who we love first) then from us it can flow to others. Then our love can be Holy and a more perfect reflection of God's love. Is that that right Father?

[@sstritmatter2158]

I have tons of attachments I see after watching this. I guess I like creature comforts... coffee, pipe, good tasty food. 25:00 - think about God and He will solve the problem. Thank you

Yes, it is.

[@marieconstantia4441]

I think sometimes we get attached to miracles rather than God’s will be done. I had 3 miscarriages and I had a crisis of faith when God did not save my babies. I had to eventually let go and accept these crosses as God’s will. I even got angry at God by thinking “how could you”? God forgive me for presuming that I think I know what’s better than God does. It takes complete trust when His plan involves heartbreak and tears but sometimes that’s what it is.

[@klausmkl]

Yes it does. Christ forgives you

[@tinag7506]

That's a nice coherent thought... sometimes misfortunes happen so that we can go to God for healing.

[@Maiseymax696]

Oof I needed this

[@TF80s]

I really wonder when watching these videos how anyone ever gets to heaven..these videos would scare most people away from trying to live a devout life. Even trying to get my head around some of the concepts is mind boggling to me.

[@patriciaann4671]

Henry Stoneking Then why did our Lord and Savior die? What exactly did he save if it wasn’t to bring us to Heaven because “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life “ If I need to be as good as you, or possibly you as good as me, don’t you think that takes away from God’s message of Love and Salvation? Do you really think you have attained Heaven by your works?

[@TF80s]

Patricia Ann So what do you believe? That you can do whatever you want in this life & still get to Heaven as long as you believe in Jesus? Is there no conditions like trying to live a good life & avoid sin as far as you're concerned? The Devil himself believes in Jesus. Any "works" as you call them that we do are done by the grace we receive from God but we need to ask for those graces & completely trust in him to give them to us..we have to humble ourselves & completely rely on God for everything & detach ourselves completely from this life & worldly things if we are ever to achieve any progress in the spiritual life..but even that detachment itself is something that we can only achieve by the grace of God. We also have to trust that God will forgive us no matter how many times we fall & resist the temptation to lose hope & give into despair (which is something that I struggle a lot with). What I'm trying to say in a very roundabout kinda way is that anything good we manage to achieve is God working through us by grace but we have to correspond to that grace & trust completely in him to gain the graces that we need to do those "works". He didn't have to do things this way, he choose to, so who are we to argue?

[@patriciaann4671]

Tom K Thanks for your reply, I’m delighted to speak to someone earnest for God! I am disabled and believe my healing, God Willing will manifest.I was raised Catholic. I believe in Jesus, and His Word. More specifically, from what I’ve seen in my life, unlike Satan, I have an ongoing relationship with Jesus. I have a growing aversion to the sin in my life. I’m not trying to go up the rungs on a ladder, for my rank in heaven. I’m only trying to become closer with our Lord, Jesus. Sin is not my focus, but I’m being pulled out of a sinful lifestyle, because I see more and more clearly that my relationship with Him is damaged by my sins.. I echo Paul’s words “everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.” I enjoyed this video and I have benefited from the teachings, immediately.

[@TF80s]

To be honest when I first watched this video the thought of achieving complete detachment made me feel quite hopeless & scared but that was just me being weak & prideful in thinking about my own limitations instead of trusting in God's great power & grace to help me...I still struggle with it but I'm getting better, slowly but surely. God bless.

[@bettye444]

T K I have the same thoughts. God’s mercy is our hope as we struggle to live out our faith and do everything we need to do or not do.

[@jameshofbauer1089]

St John of the Cross elaborates profoundly on attachment to religion. This a difficult concept for those in the secular world trying to live a concentrated spiritual life. If we are in truth hiding in the pew, we are not turning to God. It's a clever, or psychologically crippled, form of worshipping ourselves. A friend, a wise spiritual man, a successful architect, once whispered to me inside a Eucharist Shrine, "Take a look around you. Notice all the psychologically disturbed individuals. In some cases, pure nut jobs. The spiritual life is difficult, especially if you want to center your life purely upon faith, hope, and charity. There are no rewards. No consolations. It is difficult to purify yourself without becoming attached to yourself." I admired Father Ripperger's example of a man loving the photo of his wife, yet not loving his wife.

[@maggiesace389]

My comment is a little late, but I wonder how Fr. Ripperger would untangle the mess that has led people to treat the personality as temperament, and vice versa. Erroneously thinking it is personality that can be/is changed, and is temperament that is unchangeable. And they'll say they disagree with Fr. Ripperger. When I've thought deeper about it, it is Fr. Ripperger that is correct - personality doesn't change, and only appears to others as if changed because is the temperament thats been mastered and so people perception of you changes. Personality IS and doesn't do; temperament also IS, from birth...but the added conditioning as you go through life is what becomes and DOES...and can be changed. Temperament - temper - temperance...follow?

Love is different than attachment. People can mourn the death of a loved one, for instance, without being “attached” to that person. Jesus wept at Lazurus’ death
