I am sinning but still go to to mass and praying the rosaryand praise God I love Jesus more than my sin. I need to choose between sinning or Jesus and yes I chose Jesus.

This is a good one. i'm stunned. It's apparent this man is not the "emotional type", but when you have a close encounter of the God kind, it is undeniable. Please pray for me, an old Protestant who sees grace in the sacraments and I don't know what to do.

This was different than many I've listened to, but oh how I can relate to much of what he shared here. Even though my life of 64 years journey as a homemaker this proves we all have more much in common in our humanity. Finding out way back to God and eternal life with him, to our core, is very similar. I still can't believe I just recently found these podcasts that apparently been around for a few years. 🙏🤲🙏🙌💝

I don’t think that God brings good out from or through evils that is done by a person,but rather God effects Good apart and after a person has done evil’s.Because it’s impossible for any Good to come out of Evil’s for what our God and Savior Jesus Christ said in scripture’s is that what is of evils is of evils there is no Good at all in evils,I think people are misinterpreting that. I do want to say that this person is blessed by God and is very gifted in his understanding of the teachings of the Catholic Church +++ 🙏

Out of, not "through." You don't understand, so you object. Think of it this way: God is telling a story, the story of human salvation. But unlike a human author, God's characters have free will. So God may plan for a "character" to be a faithful husband, but that "character" decides he wants to be unfaithful. God allows the character to deviate from the script, because the character is free. But then God rewrites the story, using that bad choice as part of the story, to help bring the story to a happy end. The story of humanity will end in the happiness God wills, and he'll even use our sins as part of the way he works out his story to a happy ending. Consider an example: in Communist Poland, the government wanted to split the Catholic Church and weaken it that way. The government could object to the diocese's proposed priests for the next bishop of Krakow. So the church submitted list after list of experienced, older priests to possibly be the next bishop of Krakow. And the communists kept rejecting all of those and leaving the name of one young priest. They thought that young priest would bring a lot of new, modern ideas and lead the young Polish Catholics to rebel against the older, traditional, Primate of Poland. Eventually the priests in Krakow gave up and proposed the young priest, whom they thought was probably not really experienced enough to be a bishop. So "evil" won, and the Polish Church had to accept the last candidate for bishop, the one the communists were forcing them to choose. And that bishop was Karol Wojtyla, who became Pope John Paul II, who was hugely influential in the fall of communism. The point is that when we try to seize control and make things happen our way instead of God's way, God just pivots and makes it work out his way. That's how he brings good out of evil. Nobody ever said God uses evil as part of his toolkit. Evil is our tool. God just takes the shattered pieces of the wreckage from our bad choices and puts it back together in a more beautiful form.

You're also unaware of scripture, apparently: Genesis 50:20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.". That is Joseph explaining that when his brothers sold him into slavery, they did evil, but God *intended* to use their evil for a good purpose: to save many lives. So God *can* use our evil acts and rewrite the story to bring about a good outcome.

@@FigaroHey so tell me The Infinite And Eternal TRUTH is THERE GOOD Inside of Evil or Is THERE ANY Evil Inside of GOOD I’ve noticed that many people are miss explaining or misinterpreting their speech For why is there a COMPLETE Separation Between Good and Bad,Right from Wrong,Truth from Lies,Grace from Sins,Virtue’s from Weaknesses Life from Death?

God PERMITS evil so that He alone may bring good from it. He cannot cause evil, as that is contrary to His nature.
