An awesome reminder about how boredom, frustration, and lack of trust in God can lead to sin. We must depend on God and put our burdens on Him. Thank you, Fr. Mark-Mary!
Romans 3 kJV 🩸
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
1 Peter 1 kJV 🩸
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Romans 5 kJV 🩸
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
@@AlexanderBrown77 Thank you so much for sharing, Alexander. Very important verses. God bless you
Father you described me in the woman's confession and I teared up. It's just a hard stage. I am just tired.
Matthew 11 kJV
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Romans 4 kJV
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
🤔 Faith and what?

I am angry at my inability to connect with God in a way that’s undeniable for me
I feel the exact same way. I’ll be praying for us both 🙏🏻
@@LoveeeeelyM I wish I felt that taking the advice people have given would make a difference, but I just don’t see it
What exactly have you been struggling with my friend?
@@_KLAZ_ I can’t get myself to the place where I can fully and completely trust in God. I can’t even establish the habits of someone who does trust God: reading the Bible daily, meditating on what I’ve read, spending time in conversation with God. I have no faith that God is listening
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29
Keep on going back to God conversion keeps going on everyday I pray you have the best of relationships with Our Lord
God bless you and your loved ones
Father, why I like your channel so much is when you say go deeper, you are nailing it. Psychological treatment can only go so far father. You are really going in right direction for healing. The questions you ask are spot on. You truly are a doctor of the soul. Keep up the good work.
How can I find a spiritual director? My parish priest is avery good priest, but he is so swamped with our very large parish, and is just not available. Several years ago I had a director, but he was older and passed away. There are times when I really need input, and it's needs some time; I'm careful not to take up too much time in Confession. Thank you for all your contributions on this channel; it really helps. God bless you.🙏🙏🙏

Actually, life is getting more difficult just making ends meet and just surviving.
Horrendous year for me too... Fr Chad Ripperger recommends to say Our Lady of Sorrows chaplet, I say it every day now, something powerful and comforting, especially during dark times
Don't get distracted, seek and stay focused on the Lord. We are all struggling in our own ways. Don't give up; God is merciful.
Heavenly Father, only you know the burdens I face please bless my children. As a single mom it can be hard to have everything on your shoulders. Especially because both of my sons are autistic. It’s difficult to raise children alone but despite the challenges I face I keep faith in you Lord. As I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. Jesus deliver me from my anxieties, and my troubles. Give me strength. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Help me to find strength when I am weak, And hope when I am afraid. I will keep faith no matter what I face. ❤
Your children are blessed to have you as a mother. May the Lord bless your faith and grant you so much strength, love, and abundance. Praying for you
Boy this was so helpful. My husband wanted to live rural so we moved and now live where there are no people. Few people but all day zero cars, zero children playing no one to wave to. I thought Why lord do I have a problem with anxiety and fear, why can’t I put my confidence in you. I’m so restless and sad up here by myself. I grew really hard on myself. Just got back from adoration chapel today apologizing to God I can’t understand it. I told my husband before we sold our house in town that this would be very hard on me and he would not listen and it is beyond almost anything I ever could have imagined to be this hard I thought I can handle it but it’s throwing me into a depression I have to be gone most of the day I go to church during the day and work two days a week. Now I’m going to have to find someplace to volunteer but I kept thinking that my problem was lack of confidence in God and the inability to be patient
This was just for me. Thank you, Father. This is something my therapist and I delve into often. You put it perfectly.

Wow! Thank you Father Mark Mary for clarifying this. Sometimes one can think too much about this and get scrupulous and it doesn't get to the root of the problem. We can grow in virtue once we identify what is holding us back.
Loved just what you said! I lost Paul on March 18 th, 22. We were married 68 years. Still in so much grief.
What a fabulous and loving video. Thank you. I wish so much I had you as my confessor. The Church as a whole is in great need of good confessors. Thanks again.
Erudite and compassionate observations Father. Learning “acceptance” and self-forgiveness, compassion and understanding, just aren’t virtues that are respected in our prideful society. Asking for forgiveness and saying “I’m so sorry” and meaning it is thought to be weakness. Thank you for the understanding and great advice 🙏🏼
Thank you Father Mark-Mary! I have been working daily in trying to be a better version of myself! Digging deeper to why I feel I fail God at times, has really helped me try to be a better person.
This is great insight. We often just think about the simple, superficial answer instead of looking deeper toward the sources. ❤
Pray on your ten fingers: Mother Mary pray your Fiat and Magnificat in my heart…
Mama Mary please help me to love Jesus and be faithful to him ✝️🛐✡️🇻🇦
Short and sweet and OH SO MEANINGFUL AND HELPFUL! God Bless You!
Thank you so very much Father, this is very helpful.
Wow. My husband and I try to become better parents and we try to find out, how to get there. I feel like we are the first women and men you described and I thank you so much for walking like a mile for us towards our goal!
My sister gave me the following book for Christmas and reading it is making my husband and myself better parents : The Prayer Book For Tired Parents by David and Debbie Cowden
Thank you Father. Turning to God during times of self examination at the end of each day is knowing he is with me, nurturing and guiding me each day. God continue to bless you as you help guide and evangelize his people. Thank you Father Mark Mart.
❤️❤️❤️ how you started with the difference between "the" and "a" problem.
Thank you so much Fr. Mark-Mary. I am praying for all, God Bless 🙏🏻
I'm an old guy who snaps at everyone. Thank you very much for this video.
The answer to my prayers, thank you Father!
The tiredness is due to depression. The vast majority of mankind suffer’s from depression because we don’t allow our emotion’s the freedom they rightly deserve. God have our emotion’s there own set of control’s but we like to think there wrong and we’re right and of course we are not. It’s also to do with rejecting the cross or crosses in our lives! God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps please pray for Erin May and me thank you.
Father I wish you were my confessor. Diagnosed as an adult with ADHD even with meds I do the things I don’t want to do. Everyone focuses on daily function, but that was never my problem. I made/ make lists, organize my day , pay my bills on time, raised a family, never been fired from a job had a fairly successful life. But I am at a loss as to how to have self discipline, how to not “run with scissors “ I have painted myself into a corner in my sins. I have always asked God to change me, why am I like this but I guess that’s the pot telling the potter what to do. I go to daily mass I go to church, I say my prayers but then there are these sins that I cannot find a way out of unless I want to be homeless. Please pray for me I am trying and your videos really help Thank you and Ave Maria🌹🙏🏻
The timing of this video's release is definitely God's timing. I really needed to hear this and get to the whys of my bad habits. Last night I fell into temptation being really upset with myself thinking that I'll never escape this sin, but Father you have given me hope and a possible solution for me to get rid of this sin with our Lord's help🙏 May God bless you all!
This is incredibly important for me to hear. My leak is my depression, which means I constantly live in laziness and struggle with unchastity and gluttony, since I desperately cling onto any dopamine sources I can get. That only leads to more self-hatred and trying to get away from myself even more. Of course the depression also has a source, part of which are my family ties and inability to deal with emotions (and the rest, I suppose, is the secret of sickness). I've been to therapy whenever financially able and I'm trying to work on it, I'm also trying to pray for God to heal me in those aspects, to help me get through the pain, work through the anger I don't even want to acknowledge is there, and be able to actually forgive, as well as forgive myself. But that's the difficult part. I don't really know how to let Him love me with that, let alone through all that. It's therefore impossible to start loving myself instead of non-stop hating, criticising, calling names, despising, belittling, being aggressive towards myself. I've been trying to force myself to do things for decades now and it's, well, it's not working. I'm not sure how to love myself to do things.
I feel your pain and can relate to a number of things you've said. I'm working on myself with the help of a Catholic psychologist, and I am on the journey of developing self-compassion, which doesn't come easily to me! As the saying goes, "When I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Although that quote came from a humanist psychologist, I actually think it's true. My psych has suggested that I am projecting my views of myself on to God, which gives me a distorted view that sees Him as a harsh critic. In any case, I find it helpful to remember that Jesus understands every single detail of my emotions/struggles/failings better than I do, and died for me even at my very worst moment. I don't know if this helps, but I will be praying for you. I know it's tough; hang in there.
Father Mark Mary, You nailed it!
This is exactly what i needed to hear, thank you Father!
I needed this today thank you
Thank you Father for this explanation. I hope that when I go to confession, I am able to state "the" problem and not just "a" problem. God Bless!
Thank you, I needed to hear this.
Good message!
Thank you! That hit home!
🙏🙏🙏.Thank you
Beautifully said! Thank you.
Such good advice Thank You 🙏🙏🙏🌹📿
I really needed this today. THANK U!! God bless you ❤
That’s some great insight Father! 🙏🏼
This helped a lot. Thank you
WE GETTING OUT OF MESSING UP WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔊🔥❤️🔥🔥✝️🔥🔥
With JMJ
Great message. Thank you. God bless
Awesome video. Thank you.
God bless you Father very helpful.
You spoke so much truth that I had to listen twice. God, lead us all to find the leak the pipe💚
Thank you father this helped me. God bless you.
Thank you for this video. I've really been struggling a lot with this more than I ever have.
This is a great video! Thank you for the detailed examples. Need to look deeper at our sins and where the hurt is coming from.
Thank you Father.
Just the kind of advice that I needed to start my year. Thank you Father.
👏👏👏 excellent thank father 🙏
God bless you
Thank you Fr. Mark-Mary!! 🙏
This came at the exact perfect time
I needed this advice a year ago. Great advice to keep in my back pocket for the future!
Thank you Father. You literally described me. I definitely needed this.
Thank you! Very helpful-look for root reasons.
Thank you so much Father, I wish I could go to confession with you ……
I wish that too, Stephanie.
Thanks!
This, is so helpful. Thank you so much.
So simple and deep digging. Thanks a lot for this video
Thank you 🙏
More into this area, Father! 🙌🏻 this is where I struggle trying to find that underlying why as to why do I keep falling back into the same thing over and over that I know leads to death
Thank you, Father. I enjoyed this and it makes sense to get to the root of the problem. This encourages critical and honest assessment of our situations.
This helped me gain an idea as to what in particular is probably causing me so much grief with the repetitive sins I happen across regularly. Thank you Father Mark-Mary for this new perspective on my sins, and may God Bless you.
God bless you Fr!
Thank you always!
This felt like a personalized video. Will listen a few more times just to digest further. Thank you, Father!
This saved me from some sin. And thank you ♡
Rightly and wonderfully explained.
Thank you very much A.P (( do what ever u like but don't harm any one )) 🥰⚘️💕
Thanks
Very wise counsel, thank you Fr.!
Wow! Father you are amazing! We all need a confessor like you who is so perceptive to dig deeper. Yes, that Mom just needed to be able to rest. We do try to figure out what we can ‘do’ to overcome our sinful tendencies and pile on more ‘work’ to be more patient, etc. simple solution - rest and be loved by the Lord where you are at. The Lord will guide us if we ask. Blessings
Really excellent! Simple, to the point, actionable, pastoral, loving, patient, understanding. Well done.
God bless you Father for helping ppl find their reasons … for flailing . That’s fighting but failing
Thank you, father! I like how you keep asking why until you get to the root of the issue
Wow. It's like having a life coaching session. I got qualifications for life coaching but haven't pushed forward with it, this reminds me if that.
Thank you, Father, for showing me I am burning the candle at both ends, and there's no reserve for me to try harder from. I will let God love me as I rest.
Fr Mark-Mary I need you as my Spiritual Director! 😅😉
Thank You 🙏🏼
This video is exactly what I needed. I'm suffering from compulsive pornography viewing, and I never know how it happens. One moment I'm fine, the next I'm there in front of the screen. This video helped me realize that the problem is I'm always not tired when I go to bed, so I get bored and have random urges. If I get more work done I'm the day, I suspect I'll do better
Amen
Farher, thank you.
I sirta like tour atory. Get rhe point but i know the mold smell is awful, but please oray for me to go on. to keep faith , keep seekig forgiveness and strenth through the mercy
of Jesus Christ ,,
Good thing I bought sealant for the water pipes holes then, so it’s easier to get that out of the way and like you say focus on what I need to work on harder
So I got that problem out of the way, and even though it was not THE problem!, I still can figure what the roots are, I already prayed the rosary today which is the one approach I thought could help, but still yet, I don’t know what’s below that!!
True!
Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Being left behind in ocia and lack of communication with the father there on the next steps.
Treating the symptom and not the cause! I just hate it
3:37 3:39 This is me...I am 43 and ALL the things he is talking about I feel..
Jesus loves you
❤️
❤ watching your RUclips video and do god help out angry or anxious people or are they on there own?
Yes he does help with anger and anxiety, keep asking Our Lady to intercede for you
God helps everyone! No matter what they are going through! He wants us all to have joy and peace!
🙏✝️🙏
0:15 - - black mold analogy (wow) - - and the mold is _NOT_ the problem.
The problem is the *_CAUSE_* of the mold.
You must address the *_CAUSE._*
1:49 - - Interesting & TRUE - - because (for example) - - slothfulness, laziness, spiritual paralysis, lack of discipline, lack of energy, lack of willpower, lack of vitality - - may NOT be from sloth - - but can *_ACTUALLY_* be from:
1) UNRESOLVED INJUSTICE(s)
2) a root wound, usually a wound of powerlessness
3) both
First tought 'Are you reading my mind' 😅 (mom of 4)
Ok, this is the problem I'm having. I have no clue what I want to do in life. This has been going on for years. I don't know anyone. I've been used by others in horrible ways. All I have now is God. This all feels like a curse. What do you suggest I do?
I think it's imperative to learn to trust people. Which I realised is incredibly difficult and painful if you've been used and hurt before. But getting close to someone requires vulnerability and openness. That might require a lot of work (I do recommend therapy if you decide you could use some help with it). Try to do things that will create opportunities to meet people, like going out to do a hobby, volunteer, etc. Make opportunities to connect with people, but don't be focused on that because that's putting too much pressure and expectations on yourself. As for not knowing what to do in life... Advice I've been given is to try things until something sticks, and analyse how you respond to specific aspects of those activities to find what feels most right. Other than that, I don't really know that anyone is ever sure they're in the right place, and ultimately what counts is trying your best wherever you are at the moment. In that sense there are no bad choices, which is a realisation that's helped me to lower that pressure and expectations here as well. I don't know that any of this is helpful to you - I identify a lot with what you wrote, and these are just some things I've discovered that have been helpful to me. Praying for you!
@@Cationna Thank you for your comment! I've done a lot of the stuff you said (hobbies, therapy, volunteering and classes) but for some reason I can't form real relationships. Usually people just go their own way at the end of the day and nothing really changes. I tried to work myself out of this issue by trying my best at whatever came my way and after many years of no results, I'm kinda burned out. My energy is null. Anyways, at least these things have been helpful for you. Maybe I have to try them without focusing on relationships. Thank you!
The devil is the source of all problems.
I keep messing up because of the devil
What is the root of talkativeness and demanding attention from others? What is the root of envy and sexual jealousy? Or even worse, racism?
I don’t think if my catholic belief is the best way I can connect to god, I don’t feel loved anymore.
Why?
@@SamScott99 because don’t feel loved by god anymore, everything just feels like a punishment. There is addictions that I have been trying to let go off now for months, and I have gotten blessings from priests and confessed my sins and prayed, but it seems like nothing helped.
@@zed-bh9nh have you read the book of job?
