Yesss Manny this is beautiful!!! The Lord is doing incredible things through you!

You answered this question beautifully, Manny. Your kindness towards others and your firm intention of explaining your experience as just that, your experience, was evident through the whole video. I really appreciated how you defined all of the terms you were using. The clarification and comparison to desires other people may have was very helpful as well. The challenge to live a life of chastity and to carry our crosses together is a beautiful and demanding challenge. One that can only be accomplished with the help of others. I am proud and blessed to walk alongside you, my friend. I don't think I will ever cease to be amazed at how kindly and eloquently you discuss these topics. You truly have a gift from God. I can't wait for the next video! God bless!

Love Chastity! St. Aloysius Gonzaga. He’s one of the patron saints for purity and chastity. Many are familiar that St. Maria Goretti is a patron of purity and chastity, but often, people aren’t aware that Aloysius is also another patron for purity and chastity.

Great Manny! Thanks for being a REAL witness to others :)!

So now my question is what are you to do now? Be single for the rest of your life? If I don’t have attraction to the opposite sex I’m not going to force myself to live in agony.

OMGoodness! Perfectly preached brother!

You are such an inspiration, you made me feel a warm feeling inside my heart , thank you for bringing a bit of hope in me

I love your thoughts. In the morning its better to pray to God and surrender the ssa into his hands. He will deal with it together with you.

Wow, you are such an inspiration 🥺

The very best, most highly effective therapy by the most prestigious and highly qualified professional and who does not charge us a penny for as many sessions as we may need is God our Father and we sit with Him in his wonderful "office".....through both verbal and contemplative prayer.

I am struggeling with SSA as well. But I feel so alone, because my christian friends don't want to hug me as the straight friends and feel unconfortable with hugging me. I feel lonely and pray for a hug. I am scared of beeing alone, because when my friends get married the friendships will change. My church thinks that I have a demonic spirit and I feel so ashamed of that, that I dont speak about my SSA anymore. They think I dont have SSA anymore, because I forgave my father for not being around a lot. I want to trust god, but I feel hurt and I am afraid if the life of celebicy is hard and if I won't be able to find good friends who will accept me like I am and love me like I am

What about those SSA Christians who have desire to be in a committed relationship? What if their desire is to not live life alone and in other words not pursue chastity? But still love God and Jesus n want to be in ministry? Does it mean they haven’t experienced Jesus fully because if they have they wud have chosen the path of chastity? Can they pursue and act on their SSA, be in committed relationship and still love Jesus and think to themselves “my decision to live as a gay man (or woman) and pursue n act on my desires does not define me… im still beloved child of God eventho I do not choose the path of chastity. And i will still go to heaven eventho I act on my SSA n love Jesus at the same time”. Is chastity the end game, is it the calling for SSA Christians who really want to please God n follow Jesus to carry the cross?? What about those who want to follow Jesus but dont wanna carry this cross of chastity? OR… is it possible to be in a committed relationship because they don’t wanna live life alone BUT committed to the path of chastity at the same time? So just purely emotional connection but no physical act? Kinda like buddies for life without the physical part - is this OK u think? Thanks! Im just curious whats the answer to these questions

How are things now?

Thats exactly how I see it...a beautiful cross for my sanctification and eventual glory and eternal happiness in heaven.

You should make a video about the daily struggles of SSA. I love these videos on your page, I have these same thoughts, and go through these struggles daily. Thank you for sharing, God bless. 🙏

What do you do if you’re only attracted to the same sex though? I wish with all my heart I could be attracted to the opposite sex and have a holy marriage 🙁

You’re amazing!!

Keep going Manny! Your videos are encouraging and are planting seeds for fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless you!!

This was said very well, it's a process and we need to continue to fight the everyday battle of temptation, thank you for sharing my brother✝🙏🏻💙

~Amen Amen, we are all broken, and I cannot express how perfectly you expressed my sentiments, I only wish people with attractions to the same sex knew just how loved and special they are and how much God loves them, we are all broken and I love that you quoted canon law, may God bless you, you are lovely and amazing and I'm glad to call you my brother.

So then are you intending to lead a celibate life - like a priest? It doesn't matter if a priest is gay or straight because he also chooses not to act upon his same or opposite-sex attraction.

I know it’s been awhile but I thought of u and heard a word “ezra” take care 🖤

I am blessed by your words.... This is so wonderful. You give me hope to face mine and to Carry my cross. Can we talk?

Great Job !!! Very well explained ! God Bless you !

Aye brotha, what you experience doesn’t define you. These are just experiences, there’s more to life then what you experience. god has a plan for you , and remember god loves you man, and he will meet you wherever you are at any given moment.
