Please attrnd a Tradional Latin Mass 🙏

Welcome home

Welcome!!

thats pretty anecdotal...

If you are lucky enough to find a reverent Ordinary form Mass or a Traditional Latin Mass then I can promise you that the priest will never make the Mass about themselves. It’s one of my favorite things about Holy Mother Church

Excellent. So well described. Truly that is what has happened to modern mankind.

Exactly

Me, myself and my phone.

Excellent statement! We have.

There is even a song called like this by Beyonce

I'd love to discuss more about this. I attribute two things to the Originating Sin: 1.-Hypocrissy (thinking that we can be good in and of ourselves) 2.-Pride, thinking that we can replace God. All this under the light that God is the Ipssum Essem and we're through Him and Because of Him.

@@einarabelc5 As the Bible says, God is light, and there's no darkness in God. Therefore, everything else is part of light only as a function of being in union with God. It is not possible for anything to know "darkness" and still stay within light. Therefore, if you want to know "darkness", you have to leave light (which is exactly what we did) - you have to separate from God completely. And enter darkness. Which is not a very good place to be, right? Therefore, you need God again, to extract you from darkness - that is why God the Father sent His Son - to rescue you from darkness, hell, and sin (which, basically, are all the same swamp of death). That is what we did - we fell into death from Paradise at the very beginning, and now God rescues us from Hell. So, we must obey God's Word, cause there's no ill will in God, and not believe the serpent, cause that sucker only utters lies (sorry, but it's true).

@@perazdera2827 When referring to men and women as a group, masculine pronouns trump. At least that's the way it used to be. In this context therefore, men means mankind. Also, there's the whole "and they became one flesh" thing. Marriage makes two people one unit, or it's supposed to help bring about that end anyway. So Adam and Eve could be referred to as "one."

​ @Pera Zdera Nope, it was not Adam nor Eve who were the first one(s) to sin. 1 John 3:8: the one who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning - so, it was the devil who was the first one ever to sin. You may refer to the devil / satan as an "author" of sin. The rest is subject to speculation, but I fear it might be sinful and not safe to speculate on God's Word, so I wouldn't venture into that territory, Pera Zdera. After all, wasn't that what started the whole ordeal of ours from the very beginning - "speculating" on God's Word? ;) Good luck, dear.

There's only one true God

How long did it take for you before you trusted God?

Read books by Secular Humanists. They are definitely not relativists. They teach we can know good form evil form intellect alone, without God.

@@michaelflores9220 Who do you recommend?

@@bookishbrendan8875 Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Andrea Dworkin.

@@michaelflores9220 I outgrew Hitchens in my early 20’s. He said a lot to say very little. Harris is the opposite. Harris tend to be clear to the point of reductionism. The only one who I would see as worthy of studying is Dworkin, and I’m not even a feminist. At least she had some interesting and salient points.

I'm always grateful to see your comments and the assurance of your prayers.

Trying following Lewis in “miracles”. Ahah. Its worth the extra energy/focus

Yeah. Which month I think used to be dedicated to the Sacred Heart ❤️

people say that it's good to have some pride. Pride is one of the 7 deadly sins. We should have no pride. I take pride in nothing. Pride is evil. I've had it before, and God crushed it. A part of me was crushed too. Self esteem and confidence are good. Saying "I can do it, I know how to do it, I have what it takes." is confidence, and believing in yourself. Thay's a good thing. Pride is believing that you can do anything without God, and that you don't need him. That is pride. I honestly won't be suprised if there will be a "gluttony month", "Sloth month", or "Lust Month". I see all 3 very prevalent of society.

@@kennotrogzeug7012 I agree wholeheartedly. The fast and loose way the English (I can't speak for others I only speak the one) language throws around the word Pride when they mean satisfaction is truly disturbing. "I am proud of my work" is a phrase that would be considered very innocent, because what they mean is I am satisfied by the work I did here. "I am proud of you" is another one, but what they mean you have done an excellent job I am pleased you have succeeded. I choose to live as much as possible with as little sense of ego as I can. I look back and say "a good job was done" and that's enough, or "I am happy for you" for the other phrase. As for Pride month I think they have taken the idea of not being ashamed of themselves much too far. It's a deadly pendulum effect and I always try to pull people out of it when the opportunity arises.

Same.... i hesitate to type i.... but here goes, i relate to subjectivism. i will be working to look and perceive outside of me.

@@BlindFaith777 I agree with looking at the outside perspective. I’d say do so with careful balance. We are still subjective beings, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Lest, faith would mean nothing. Faith is subjective. We are bound from entirely perceiving outside ourselves because we aren’t God. Of course, we should aim to do see the outside and appreciate it, but in balance with our subjective experience.

Good for you Mary, transformation through the Holy Spirit starts with self honesty, you made the first step to being the person he wants you to be 😊

Leave off about the participation trophies, for pity's sake. The kids didn't institute them and they weren't for the kids anyway. They're for the parents and they're at the expense of the children.

I don’t think this evil is inherent to one generation. It’s as old as man.

Very apt

The perception/experience of the True the Good and the Beautiful is always in relationship to God whether we realize it or not as the source of all. I think that the divorce of nature( physical) apart from us is part of the problem as we have a human nature both physical and supernatural which are both created by God as is "nature". A possible problem is the missing awareness of the Fallennness of Nature ourselves included. We can have a sense that it was not always this way that there was a time when nature was perfect in a created sense before it fell. The temptation here is that I/we can recreate/make perfect fallen nature by our own will and intelligence. This is called messianic materialism and can deceive us into all kinds of well-meaning projects but at root, some of them are just that messianic materialism laking in any relationship to God and His Word/revelation about our fallen nature, evil, and His redemption of nature(us included) that won't be(can't be) fully realize until the only and true Messiah comes in the fullness of time recreating us in His glory body and soul in the new Heaven and Earth. Maranatha! The Spirit and the Bride say come! Amen Come Lord Jesus!

@@Ronsuestmartin Yes, I can see that as a possibility, but my comment was far from that pitfall. There is simply nothing wrong with realizing inner aspirations of awe and wonder within oneself which is otherwise rightly ordered. Evil is a void, not an existent thing. There's no void in feelings within us inspired by God or springing up from our human creation. I'm just defending against any insinuation that experience is necessarily evil when subjective. That's error in the other extreme.

​@@jtg3765 To paraphrase The Angelic Doctor, the passions are neither good nor evil. They are morally qualified to the extent that they engage reason and will and they are to be governed by reason. So as we observe good and evil in the world, the passions that are stirred up in our hearts are good to the degree that they are in accord with reason.

Yes .. there's a big middle way between 'the objective waterfall is beautiful' and 'my subjective feelings are beautiful'. That is: 'the objective waterfall is objectively beautiful for me and to me as the subjective observer' -- and, I might add, enabling and inviting me, as a subjective actor, to respond well - and to say yes to the Creator. As St John Paul II, whose feast is this Friday, was exploring, there is a good, important Phenomenology.

Yes-and you are describing modern psychotherapy!

Subjectivism prideful? The waterfall story just shows believers want people to think that beauty exists outside of them be it may because it's useful to ground meaning and morals. They're not interested in truth unless it fits morality

Agreed 💯

Realize I have alot of work to do re-examining what I have been prioritizing.

I am part of the "new age spiritual thought" what ever that means. Right above my bed is this quote . He who is greatest amoung you let him serve the rest. All my spiritual friends believe like I do.

love your edits man, though I do not believe social media is intrinsically evil it certainly lends itself to pride

I take a gazillion photos because I know I won't be able to remember everything without a picture to remind me. My friends complain that I don't take any pictures of myself, but I'm not what I want to remember. So don't assume ugly things about everyone who takes photos. Maybe they just need to have something to bring back happy memories when times are hard.

@@user-sx7wt6lw2c If you are watching Brian’s video, you are using social media. So is social media evil?

I catch myself doing it all the time, but sometimes It is about the desired to share with others.

The pretense of humility, is indeed a way to disguise "self adoration"

Yes. There's a big middle way between 'the objective waterfall is beautiful' and 'my subjective feelings are beautiful'.

@Aqua Fyre You're giving us the English verse. Which would likely have been translated from the Latin verse. Which would have been translated from the Greek verse.
