I feel so understood. My social anxiety drives my hunger for rules and structure. I'm not so rigid as to not say hello dueing periods of silence, but I probably won't be the one initiating the greeting.
There is wisdom in what you're saying. Rules set boundaries and establish a comfort zone. When others are not meeting the expectations of the rules it's good to speak with them about how you feel. That takes courage and growth. I see the Holy Spirit at work there. Thank you for sharing your brotherly love in Jesus.
Thats so insightful. This really helps me in my own anxiety when I come across different liturgy/prayer etc. predicable practices/ritual are definitely self soothing for me 😮
I’m going to listen again. I was conflicted. If he’s talking about God’s rules, I agree 100%. But if he’s talking about man’s rules, depending on the importance it is my 100% right. It would vary. But God is sacred.
Praise to God Almighty!!!!'m favoured, $34k every 3weeks! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless 🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I find this interesting. I am not rebellious in any way, but I am the opposite with rules. I feel rules makes us unsafe. As in, we cannot do something in the safest way, or what is for the best because the rules get in the way. I'm good with the 10 commandments. Which I shorten to "don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't kill". I highly depend on the Holy Spirit to get me through. Which works, apparently as everyone sees me as one who follows them all. Anything regarding liturgy, I'm totally there, but other than that, I just try to get along.
I don’t know what to make on my position with rules. Maybe someone can help guide me through my thinking. For me, I feel a want to push against rules, but not so much as to break them. Like, I want to know why something is the way it is. Further though, I would feel fear of not meeting up to the expectations of rules because I would be left behind or unloved if I didn’t meet every expectation of a rule. If I fail, then I don’t take the rule I couldn’t meet as seriously. It’d be harder for me to meet that expectation, even if I’d try, because it’s just something to remind myself and those that gave me the rules that I’m not good enough. Does that make sense?
Jesus said the Sabbath was created for man and not man for the Sabbath. The Pharisees made burdens for people that nobody could keep. Jesus allowed his apostles to reap and eat during the Sabbath as they were hungry, etc. the same applies for any work or rule. If we work just for our work and serve it rather than work serving us and others, we have false priorities. The world should be used for the good of the people and people are made to bear God's image. There is a hierarchy that has to be respected and rules serve to ultimately honor this hierarchy and glorify God as its end goal.
Rules in Catholicism are meant to be a bit like Mozart learning the rules of music and composition so he could compose beautiful music. Not about over-focusing on the rules of music and composition to the point where you end up composing nothing (where music is the Catholic equivalent of things like love, beauty, grace and so on - and allowing God to be our ultimate Muse as well as Teacher - and to make music with us - although God is infinitely more to us than this as well. Something like that). I'm being poetic here as opposed to theological. Theology is a bit like rules. Too much theology / over-focused on theology can destroy love, beauty, grace. (Although we still need theology like we need rules). That we need the poetic (and the psychological) as much as the theological. That Catholicism is (like marriage) ultimately a Science (rules / theology), an Art (the poetic / the psychological - like the Bible's Song of Songs - a key part of the Bible and Catholicism) and a (wonderful ) Mystery (something the great saints St Theresa of Avila and St John of the Cross are very much focused on - but also St Francis of Assisi but in a less contemplative way - a mystery where we can know a certain amount about God and others but who also are mysterious as well in a good way - for mystery is just as divine and beautiful as knowledge). And we need God in every aspect of this - and ultimately in order to love Him (including allowing ourselves to be loved by Him) and neighbour.
I personally don’t like following the rules, the only rules i follow are the 10 commandments, The Laws of Love. But if i gotta be obedient to Cesars rules, ig i’ll be a good citizen of the United States of America and vote red. ❤️🔥✨It’s my first year voting this year, I am 21 years old. Last election i wasn’t old enough, i was only 17 but i was supporting the other party… back then when i was ignorant and based everything off my emotions: Time-out 👇🏾👇🏾
Rules made contrary to the service of the people and God can indeed destroy a people's balance. We need leisure as in time and room to be creative and without creativity, we hinder further conversion for our lives.
1 Peter 1:1 KJV "Peter, an Apostle of JESUS CHRIST, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 elect according to the foreknowledge of GOD the FATHER through sanctification of the SPIRIT (baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT), unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of JESUS CHRIST (justification): Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3 Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again (born again) unto a lively hope (salvation) by the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the dead, 4 to an inheritance (saved) incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in Heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of GOD through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." (Parenthesis mine) Note: Salvation is incorruptible and undefiled (lasts forever) and it fades not away (lasts forever) and is reserved (lasts forever) for the true believer who is kept (saved forever) by the power of GOD.
Hogwash - this a click bait gimmick. It ain’t “Red Letter” Catholic. I follow Jesus rules, not fake Catholic rules. Pure clickbait. We need our priests counseling church members, not making phony RUclips stuff.
If you have a platform you might as well use it. Besides this doesn’t replace their main job of being priests. He still probably gives spiritual guidance outside RUclips.
@@lukebrown5395 The priest in my parish has time to record his stupid book reviews and seminars for RUclips and Facebook, but he ain’t got time for pre-marriage counseling or taking communion to the elderly. We need real priests who care for their flocks, not these gimmick online priests. This ain’t leadership. This is vanity.
@@BenjiDiMaggio no it’s not they are here to use a platform to preach the gospel and help with topics Catholics care about. They are called to serve and this is one of the ways they can choose to do it. Dont like it don’t comment.
Thanks to Fr. Mark-Mary, for a counseled refection.
I totally relate to what you're saying, Fr Mark-Mary. Totally. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Father, this video contributes to my freedom. Thank you.
I didn’t choose to be reckless, I was chosen.
That’s how I lived most of my life, but I found Jesus and now I try to follow the rules.
Wow!!..beautiful words about one aspect of being human. Thank you!
Obedience is both a Grace and source of Grace. If you keep my commands, you will abide in my love. (john 15:10)
Thank you so much!

God's rules are for our best interests. And He gave rules for us because He, our Creator, knows us the best and He knows what best for us. ❤
Thank you for sharing!
I can completely understand this video. thank you. ✝
Thats so insightful. This really helps me in my own anxiety when I come across different liturgy/prayer etc. predicable practices/ritual are definitely self soothing for me 😮
Thank you.
Or rules out of just pure pride and wanting to belong. Versus seeing the good they preserve. Thanks God bless !
I get this. Thank you.

Father, you lost a good amount of weight. Good for you!
Following the rules is obedience to God...thats good

Personally, I think those older friars needed a certain novice to tell them what time it was. Just throwing that out there.

Rules without creativity will bring the doom to our soul
Rules made contrary to the service of the people and God can indeed destroy a people's balance. We need leisure as in time and room to be creative and without creativity, we hinder further conversion for our lives.
