We do not worship Mary; Those that do, must examine their conscience. The Catholic bible preceded the "shortened" protestant/non-denominational version.

@@Call_Upon_YAH You are so wrong!!!!!!!!!!! But I guess there's no way to make you understand. Just explain why there are thousands of denominations when Jesus founded only ONE Church.

God knows what we've done and forgive us whenever we truly repent.

​@@AlexanderBrown77Douhay Reihms Bible is THE interpretation that brings the truth of the gospel to light. (King James has some odd things in it that twist some of the truth. Just enough to bring wrong thinking to your life.)

Thank you for bringing this to light.❤

Thank you for this, God bless you

amen

Same problem with me, but it affects on confession as well, unfortunately. I go to Mass, but I haven't been to confession and communion for 7 years because last time I went to confession it were even bigger problems, at least short time after confession and big fear occured when I went there. God, have a mercy on me!

I was just about to comment this. Saint Philip Neri is awesome

I've been hearing versions of that story for the better part of two decades, before I became Catholic when I was still a protestant I heard protestant pastors telling it too. I had no idea it was true until just now.

Yes indeed.

Odd choice of words: "...disappointed Him." I DO think however, that coming out of Confession we should absolutely find ourselves ,for lack of a better term, feeling some sense of Relief & Release, yes. Not that we'd dodged some bullet or escaped eternal damnation: I think the venting in itself is as therapeutic & essential for us as the Forgiveness we receive in the sacrament. We shouldn't dwell on some imagined, lingering, self-destructive Guilt being dragged out after, but rather relay that fresh Forgiveness to others in return, in our own daily lives. Above all, I think is a simple reminder of Prodigal Son/Shepherd leaving His ninety-nine Sheep to go after & search for that single, individual one who is lost. Don't let it Drain you, it's there to Revive you.

Romans 10 kJV 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! ✝️ Gospel 🩸 1 Corinthians 15 kJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Dealing with these too; you're in my prayers!

@@tgbluewolf Thank you! Praying for you too 🙏

Same here! It's hard to trust God, but God is still good.

Ephesians 1 kJV 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 1 Corinthians 15 kJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 3 kJV 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

I feel this way. I will give you what im going to try, it may not help. But, Im going to try to find scripture in the bible that might relate, maybe if I read it and meditate it may help. And ask God why I am feeling this way, asking the holy spirit to give me strength to search myself and the situation, there might be something else that is revealed. I hope this helps, ive been going awhile and im still learnimg, im proud of you for going to confession. Dont lose heart. There is forgiveness in confession.

​@@Call_Upon_YAH you don't know what you preach. Stop confusing your brother and stop apostatizing the church.

​@bruno-bnvm I was raised catholic but was never really lived up to being catholic. Never went to church outside of school or rare events. Now that I'm 30 and head of a a growing family I feel called to lead my family to christ. I am not sure whether to devote to catholicism or Christianity. We are going to both churches currently while I try to decide. Can you explain to my why catholics pray through saints when Jesus says there is no intermediary but him to God? Also, why do we call priests father when Jesus says call no one father but God? And finally, what is an explanation for why the pope was promoting indulgences? I have questions for Christians as well. Thank you

@@Call_Upon_YAH Yawn. Same old erroneous Protestant thoughts about Catholic Christianity. Boring because it's so repetitively wrong. You're the one who is deceived. Prayers.

@@Call_Upon_YAH There is only One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church established by our Lord Jesus Christ in 30 A.D. All other Protestant denominations are false and heretic 🔥✨

Did you know the KJV was the seventh Bible translated into English? Psalms 12 kJV 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Seek out the sacrament! There's nothing you can say that will shock the priests...they've heard it all. May you know the Lord's peace.

Have courage...many of us have felt the way you do....God give you strength.... You will be lifted . I remember something that happened to me and I felt so alone. I finally went to reconciliation and a weight was lifted from me.... Will be praying for you to get through.....don't loose heart....

​@@angelam3517 Thank you for your words and what happened to you during Confession. I had a similar experience..being away from my Catholic Faith for about 50 years..I finally went to Confession with a Traditional Catholic priest..by The Grace of God, I might add.....I cried like a babbling brook...Ill never forget what the priest said to me on that beautiful day.."Jesus is here right now and He has been waiting for you for 50 years...imagine The Graces He has stored up for you in those 50 years!" I cried even harder..I could barely speak...it was such a cleansing and beautiful experience! Our Lord Jesus is truly in that confessional...the priest is in Persona Christi...all praise and glory be to our Divine Savior Lord Jesus Christ for this Sacramental Gift! I feel sorry for those who do not know about this True Divine Sacramental Gift that was given to us from Jesus through His Apostles...I pray for the conversion of poor sinners always! ❤🙏 ❤ Godspeed!

Pray brother for the grace of courage to go to confession. There you will find the peace you so long for. I’m praying for you too.

1 John 5 kJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 1 kJV 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

That's where grace comes. God did not choose us for what we did. He chose because he chose. He chooses while we are still a sinner. Jesus died to cleanse it. So deep in our heart we know this, and accept Jesus deeply. True repentance comes when we go directly to Jesus in our secret room. Lock the door and enter His presence. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ [7] again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” [12] For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [13] And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. [14] Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. [15] For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Then our daily life will change. True repentance will come and then the Holy Spirit will speak to us. The rest of what He tells is up to us to listen and to follow. Read Judges. People of Israel again and again, sin against God but when they repent and call , God always answers. Realised we are confessing to God and remember you are already standing on a ground of victory. We are not condemned just because we fall. Read Psalm 91 and question yourself what is God's secret place? When we come to realize that God saved us not because of our sin and action but by His own mercy and love that He sacrificed His own son on the cross to wash away our sins even at the time when we are still unbelievers. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ [16] For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. When we understand who Jesus is and what He has done for us, you will always rise because you are not amongst the wicked but amongst the righteous. Realised we are not righteous by doing good works. But by believing in what Jesus did. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ [6] Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. So believing what Jesus has done for on the cross has given us a new covenant and Jesus Christ has clothed us by His true righteousness. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64:5‭-‬9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ [5] You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How can we be saved? [6] All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. [7] No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to our sins. [8] Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. [9] Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people. In this God anger has changed. He gave His son. Remember our good deeds are just filthy rags to God. So we must realise what truly God has given us on the cross and when we truly accept that, we will realised our sinful deeds has been forgiven. For if we fall we have a high priest in heaven, who is the only mediator who can reconcile us to the Father as there is only one God. ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [5] For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus. He is also an Intercessor in heaven Himself. So yes we can come directly to Him as he is forever pleading for us in heaven . Roman 8:34 and Hebrews 7:25. Mediator is one who has authority to fix thing. Intercessor is one who is pleading and requesting but will not be able to fix things. Jesus is of both. He can reconcile us and He can plead for us to the Father. So we are already righteous when we believe in Jesus. The next step is for us to walk in spirit. To separate ourselves from the flesh. To strengthen our spirit we must feed it. Not by just going to church on Sunday but by everyday of our life. We pray in the morning, give God 1-2 hours of our time. We read the Word and put it in our hearts ( Psalm 119:11). (Ezekiel 3:1-3). Do not give up. Once the spirit is strong by cultivating holy habits, the flesh will sub-side and we will be living the life in spirit. Most of us as catholic we lack the walk of spirit as we are too much conforming to the world. The scriptures has said do not conform to the world pattern. If we conform we are bound to strengthen the flesh rather than the spirit. ( ROMANS 12:2) If Catholicism does not teach this, let us teach ourselves that we need to give time to God in our everyday life and we need to store the word of God in our heart. Unless we truly know the identity of Jesus and who God is and unless we loved Him back, we will not know the true way to walk in Spirit and will casually fall into sin. We are all saints called to live separately from the pattern of the world. We are Christ believers so we are definitely different from the world. We do not live as they do. The more we feed the flesh the more we are likely to sin again and again and ignorance of real truth. Feed the spirit then things will change and have better understanding. Going to church on Sunday and living the rest of the days like the world pattern will keep us running back to sin. Taste God in spirit then see the difference. Develop holy habits everyday of our life. Shalom . Amen. I leave with this. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ [2] Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Mother Teresa and JP2 went weekly too.

Jesus forgave Judas Ascariot and he was so wrong to commit suicide, instead of repenting , forgiving himself and be a useful tool of God like St Peter.

...but not in Jesus's mind. Pray for your friend.

Brother, pray for her because she can't be holding that image forever. You change, and congratulations, Glory to God, but based on how she responded, she hasn't moved on from that wound. The anger says it all. She's hurt, and that will consume her, and she won't be able to move on. She hasn't forgiven you, but you did your part, but still pray for her to heal. She may come back, or may not, only God knows, but pray, pray, and pray 🙏

I'm in a similar predicament to you right now. Let’s continue to pray for them, bro.

Right the wrong done if one can, but if impossible, do more good deeds and love more for penance . If God forgives people, isn't it that we have no right to not forgive anyone including ourselves?

I know you're kidding... but now that you've sworn, off you go to confession! 😂
