I started taking my faith seriously during Covid, It was obvious that they tried to cut us off from the Eucharist, and clearly, it was with nefarious intent. I never knew the Catechism, so I had to start from scratch, and 1 of the first things I eradicated was this. Only though the Miraculous Medal was this possible, the holy mother made this doable. Remember, we can do nothing without grace, and we must ask for these graces, or we will never achieve anything in the spiritual life.
im not sure if their intent was to cut us from the Eucharist, i would be careful of making such claims, even if it’s true, we need to be careful of slander and only speak for that of which we have evidence for. God bless you ❤
@vanessabernal8339 Well if I can go to a tool store and buy tools, yet my salvation is of no concern? "We wrestle against principalities and powers" Plus because of the lack of reverence now showen to the Eucharist, God allowed it through his permissible will.
@@theSimpleCatholicMan in the words of Padre Pio Padre Pio: “pray, hope, and don't worry” we need to concern ourselves with what we are doing, are we in a state of grace, instead of assigning blame to that which we have no control of. don’t you think God is merciful to understand why you couldn’t receive Him during covid-19? your salvation in that regards is not a risk because it’s not something you freely chose but was imposed on you. the devil uses people to get them to do his bidding, but our anger shouldn’t be directed to our human brethren who are made in the image and likeness of God. we need to be more charitable if we ever have any hope of reaching the lost.
if you consider that p0rn and masturbation are corruptions of a deeper good, then shame fades away when you realize that beneath your desire for those lies a desire for the good. this is why brute repression is not sustainable. it is better with redirection towards what is actually beneficial. habits never simply disappear, they are always replaced with other (hopefully, better) ones.
The need for intimacy doesn't seem universal since in his book Dr. Stringer never even showed any case with this need. Instead, it's childhood trauma and stress. Besides, how do you even get your intimacy needs met? Doesn't being a porn addict give one no right to intimacy? Getting married and having sexual partner doesn't even cure the addiction either
I'm now in a place of void. I dont even have any desire to sin..i can't get pass not knowing why do some people get to believing and trying their best to overcome the slavery of sin and than others don't, how is that posible for such creation to come from God? Why do i want too.quot porn and my friend doesn't? Why do i have strenght to do it or better say why do i let Jesus take the sin and someone else hasn't got that strenggt and that desicion. Why? How is that his fault. Free will? What is that exactly? And how is it conceptualized? God bless you all brothers. Stay strong in Jesus in our Lord , even though you sometimes dont have the ground under your feet you know how too walk. And I am doing that, walking on the thin air of my faith. ☦
I would like someone to pray for me. I’ve been fighting with this evil thing for months and tried nearly everything but it doesn’t work. I think main cause of this addiction for me is anxiety(low self esteem,inner voice) and lack of discipline. I would appreciate if someone would pray for me🙏.
Isaiah 64:6 - "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags." If even our righteous deeds are like filthy rags, how much more disgusting are our sins in the eyes of God? I think shame IS the right approach when it comes to serious sexual sin.

I couldnt relate to this.. for me porn or nudity has always Been entirely sentmental to those who indulge in getting “their needs met” both physically and intimately by who they are attracted to without the strings of friendship attached.. the touching myself part is the fantasy that I am the one in the video who is free to celebrate my eroticism with this hotty or perfect body.. so its less about what im thinking psychologically and more so like idolitory.. otherwise I wouldnt be so picky for the quality of the photography or the narrative comedy that goes into the build up narrative patter writing to give context to the eroticism. So pornography to be honest for me is less how I feel personally about my insecurities or guilt in my past trauma or something deep.. its shallow its meaningless but in my opinion it should be entirely illegal. Its prostitution and its disrespectful to marriage and basic principles of the human potential.. makes sexual context more of an objective or competition to win over someone rather than to “join together” its awful the consequence to our youth that teenagers (18&19) get put through.
This is very Buddhist (by which I do not mean "demonic"), to turn inward and contemplate, meditate, and ask questions instead. Eastern Orthodoxy has a much more developed system of meditation than the other Christian branches with Hesychasm, etc., although Catholicism has quietism and things like that. Meditating to understand oneself and discern the will of God is essentially what Buddhists and Daoists have been doing in the East since before the Bible existed, and to simply dismiss it as demonic is some total low-IQ BS I keep seeing people do. Thinking and asking questions is "demonic" just because another religion taught it. This kind of thinking is the root of Trump Derangement Syndrome, anti-Semitism, and other forms of actual demonic possession.
This transforms the whole healing process. ❤
First! Now you gotta pray for me.
Quick! Tell me your special patron saint!?

And if the part that wants intimacy is an abomination?

I disagree the whole idea of sex being required for intimacy in a relationship, though many people seem to believe it is.

Did you watch the video?
It is not. Shame doesn't help to overcome this issue.
Currently trying to stop watching porn for lent - the rest of my life.

You're right. It's a terrible thing to put the website on the thumbnail.
don’t shame yourself, just lie to yourself instead!
