I know what you mean, but I'm a firm believer that God gives you the priest that He wills for you at the present moment, but we are all so blessed that Father Ripperger makes his talks available for everyone around the world to listen to. Remember to pray for him, that's how we can show our gratitude
I am heavily struggling with perfectionism in my spiritual life. Thank you Father for your very wise words. They are the response of the Mother of God for my prayers. Thank you again !
"They look at the vice, and it causes them sadness, which is okay...but they fall into this thing of 'oh I gotta get rid of this I gotta get rid of this' - no, what you need to do is turn to Christ and ask him to get rid of it." 28:17 "When you see a defect in yourself, what you need to do is forgive yourself for you past sins." 29:00
I suffer this and it got so bad I formed a severe case of OCD. I started getting horrible blasphemous thoughts I couldn't control and the most impure things you could possibly imagine as a constant barrage I had/have to fight off. I still suffer, but when I decided to stop trying to be perfect and let God fix my messiness, it started calming down. I wish everyone could hear this message because you can give yourself some serious mental health issues with this mindset.
Re listening to Father because this is all continuously relevant & so needed!! College was a waste of money because this is what matters & I wasn't obtaining a sustainable degree anyway, ie...Dr lawyer etc Prayers for Fr. Ripperger & his work!!!

God bless you... please pray for me... that i can cooperate with gods will... and change my bad habbits for good Virtues... 💖
Use the search on the Sensus Fidelium channel, if you type in "temperance", the first result will be a lecture on temperance from a series of lectures on Cardinal Virtues by Fr Ripperger
Im trying to find a book that can list all the imperfections and the virtues to practice countering them , do you have any recommendations ? I tried reading the practice of Christian perfection by Rodriguez and found it hard to navigate
In the catholic school system it is the contrary of virtue that they are taught. It is brutal. Teachers and administrators punish the student who has much respect for others including teachers. It is not something that primary school children can take every single day. It's not like switching school will help as one is just as outrageous as the other.
Catholic schools have not been Catholic for decades. Unless a parent can find and afford an SSPX-MC or SSPV school, the child should be home-schooled, if possible. The late Bishop Sheen said in the 70's, that a child would be MORE likely to lose his faith in a nominally Catholic school than a public one.
I'm a man and struggle with immodest. I have since a little boy being naked outside. I've tried to stop and can go awhile but then fall back in. What do I do?!
The biggest problem with perfectionism is that everyone has their own idea on what that should look like based only on what they know about themselves as a human being that is just as unique of an individual as everyone else is.
@Rodrigo Francescon He was wrong to make that judgement. No one knows where Aristotle is. There has been a lot of debate about "virtuous pagans" historically, but the answer will probably not be known until the final judgement.
I am not Catholic but heading in that direction through God's grace...Fr.Ripperger explains Catholic traditions and theology like no other
Amen, dear brother in christ!
How’s your journey going, Scott?
We are praying for you, Scott !!! God bless your journey that starts off with the 1st step. Keep facing Jesus.

Seriously that line struck me so hard too.
Needed this. I have to offer all my rosaries for your intentions Fr Ripperger because your talks are gold .

What causes people to want to hold on to their wounds?

How was the age 18 established as an age of maturity for humans...

where is Aristotle?
Is he in Heaven or Hell? ( Aristotle).
Hell

He should have called out the person with the dog. Beat it and take your dog, people are trying to get to Heaven 😡
Maybe God was testing our patience, and noone should be beating animals...
Beat the dog? Are you okay? That's just awful! :'(
I agree. Doggie at conference? And he meant beat it as get out.
It seems like you completely missed the point of this talk.
