Ive been betrayed many times. Family betrayal is very painful. I felt exactly as Father Rippenger described: being stabbed in the lungs through tge back as well as the chest. Very specific feeling. The spiritual and emotional pain made me physically sick.
Same here. Problem becomes thinking who can you trust when the ones closest proved to be unreliable in the worst type of way. Constantly focusing on God, lectio divina, prayer, mass... All the Catholic good stuff helps big time though
What about the Mask-wearers who laugh forgiveness n confession off just to recommit the same sins after mass over n over with no remorse, Ive seen way too much of that....
Because so much of the culture around us, movies, books TV series etc glorify revenge narratives, holding grudges etc that is easy to get swept up and not think of this as Fr explains it. It’s easy to forget that hate maybe a Jewish/Muslim/pagan etc virtue but it is not a Christian virtue. I say all this from my own experience like yours. It’s been a few years since I was taught this. I’ve worked hard on it and sometimes I slip
Forgiveness is how we can truly become like Jesus. It also is a freeing thing. Letting go of a mountain crushing you. God will deal with anyone who hurts us either now or in the afterlife if they don’t repent. Trust Him and be happy. Great video!
I always enjoy watching this man speak. I was almost murdered by a man who took his life in my home. I suffered a Lot of abuse from men I believed loved me as I loved. What Ftr. Ripperger says is So True. Since I’ve learned through God and the Blessed Mother to let go and forgive, that pain and darkness that was upon me isn’t as strong as it once was. I still hurt at moments yet I pray for the people who have hurt me. It was through Prayers and talking to Our Lord and the Blessed Mother that I was guided to forgiveness. If Jesus could Forgive the people who crucified Him, we can learn to forgive Through Him. ❤️🙏❤️
Marvellous insights from Fr.Ripperger. Profoundly helpful guidance especially on praying for your enemies' conversion and hoping to one day be with them in Heaven..totally freeing, healing and liberating ones soul.
This was tremendously helpful at this painful and important moment in my life. I must make some large decisions now, but feel unable to do so - paralyzed, unable to think clearly, increasingly fearful and hopeless. My habit of hanging onto injustice (unforgiveness) has a lot to do with my distress and paralysis of thought and will, I am sure. ... I have lacked discipline in important ways for all of my 72+ years. ... But I feel some hope after hearing this teaching. I am grateful.
It usually irritates when people re-post little clips of a longer vid bc it's attention kidnapping click bait. But...but...but...I have to hear this one like every day. And, some days I should probably listen to it a couple of time ♥
Fr. Chad is a living vessel were divine information transmits through. He's a weapon of faith to expose the enemy's existence in our daily lives. Glory be to God. I'm always proud to be a Catholic!
I continue to learn Much More through great videos discussing such Personal Issues as These. Thank you for Sharing this. This topic is So Enlightening. Forgiveness doesn’t mean we have to except what someone is doing. But to Let Go of the resentment and realize that we must not hang onto things others chose. No matter How Painful it is, it’s More Painful to Hang Onto that Pain. It can be difficult to let go of certain things when we focus on things such as How we were Pained by someone’s actions. I choose now to Pray for the person to seek God. I had to learn to Let Go or Continue to feel resentful and hurt. Through many conversations with Jesus and The Blessed Mother, I feel I’m being Led Closer to Forgiving in letting go of Everything in which had kept me feeling held down. When we except to open ourselves to Learning from God, we Grow More Within HIS Love. Resentment can push some to react bitterly towards others. By letting go we are able to Still Be Good to Others. And to not allow another’s actions sway our own behaviors towards others. This is Why there are Many Reasons it is So Important to Learn to Forgive by Letting Go of that pain. ❤️🙏❤️
First I WANT to forgive. I DO pray for the person who hurt me tremendously - that they change and turn to God and repent their wrong before it's too late for them. Second, HOW do I forgive? One cannot simply stuff it away or try to forget it. I work on it every day - I ask for God's help. I offer up the pain. Everyday at least up to 10 times a day and out of absolutely nowhere, I remember what this person did, it's like an ice pick to my head each time, so painful. I offer it up the minute it pierces me emotionally. So yes, I want to get to the point where the pain goes and I can make sense of life again.
I live the exact same. Today is not as hard as in the beginning. God wants your enemies in Heaven. The devil hates when you offer your pains for them. Keep it up and he will leave you alone.
@@paulbizard3493 I'm glad you mentioned that, that the devil hates when we offer up our suffering. I thought about that the other day in another circumstance where when things are going bad I immediately start speaking to God. So instead of the bad circumstances causing me to get further from God (something I the devil would like), it is making me seek and get closer to God.
The problem is that now I think EVERYONE will hurt me like the person who hurt me. The person who hurt me is a psychopath. The thing with being the victim of a psychopath is YOU DON"T SEE it COMING! This person was so nice. No one would have seen it coming. Now I don't know who to trust or how to trust people because after this experience I think the next person I interact with could be like the person who hurt me and not see it coming. So it's not that I don't want to forgive, but I don't want to forget what might be the signs of another person who may have bad intentions.
The percentage of the population who are psychopaths is around 1%. So, although I am sorry for whatever happened to you, remember that most people are not like that.
@@sanjivjhangiani3243 The problem is there are similar people to psychopaths that are equally damaging. E.g. sociopaths, narcissists and machiavellians are some of the very dangerous people able to hurt you in severe ways. And even "normal" people who are just emotionally damaged will hurt you as well. When you sum it all up, instead of that 1% you end up with somewhere around 5-10%.
I understand about forgetting to heal and be free. But what about learning really well from prior abuses and manipulations to avoid the mistake again in the future? Past experiences have a lot of value as well.
Chris, you're a much better person than I. Would I hope my ex becomes a beautiful person in heaven? No! I try to forgive him, I want to, but I'm having great difficulty in this. An old country song, "If the curtain should fall, I hope that it falls on you (him)." I'm an elderly woman, and because of him, I've been homeless x 2, flat broke, belittled, assaulted, and put in jail as an x2 on his trumped up charges! Fr. Ripperger, I really want to forgive him because of Christ, but I'm really having difficulty. Thank you both and your production crew. May God bless you all.
"When someone decides to ruin you life don't give them permission to ruin what's left of it by hanging on to the injustice" Wait on the lord, through him all things will be made right. Tell him you want to forgive and you need him to help you achieve it because of how hard it is. God bless you. ❤
@TheSound0fLegends thank you so very much! I've prayed for the Lord's help. I guess I haven't prayed enough. May God surround, embrace, and bless you. ❤️
@@lakotafire2804 If you have asked once, it's enough for the lord. Perhaps ask him to show you what he needs you to do then when he tells you, put all your focus into that. My mother said to me many years ago: "Pray for her, you can't hate someone you pray for", I face the same battle as you. The moments I feel acceptance for what happened to my marriage and my family come during the times I am in a season of prayer, before I of course fall away again. We all have our battles and you are not alone. You are my sister in the lord Jesus Christ.
I could do the typical..I will say a prayer for you....but you had it bad. I grew up in Kentucky where this shit happens all the time. I got out of KY when I graduated from U of L to go to Graduate school in California. I was LUCKY compared to my siblings...I have done well. I hope that you can really get the blessings YOU deserve...but it may not come in this life...HANG IN THERE!
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. God forgives us, so we must leave and choose to forgive others who have hurt us. 🙏🕊💜
How do you “just let go of it?” There has to be some sort of psychological trigger to enable this. My sister hurt me profoundly as well as a cousin who made my sister believe that I was out to screw her out of inheritance and my sister bought my cousin’s story. I get demonic oppression from time to time where I actually envision myself killing her, and sometimes even her family. This happened in Mexico where a distant cousin of mine shot his brother, a Catholic priest, because of an inheritance dispute. I wish it would go away but I don’t know how to let go of the anger I feel from the injustice I feel of this. Plus, one of my ex-friends ran into my sister, a guy who used to dog me out in front of waitresses and women to make himself feel good, and he told her I was an asshole. Now, I readily admit, I can be an asshole, but for my sister to use that and throw it into my face…I have a very hard time letting it go. I wish I could. I would feel so liberated from the demons if that could happen.
I obsessively envisioned killing a handful of people for over twenty years. Got to a point where I got determined to actually do it. One by one. But God wouldn't allow it to even pass the planning stage. Led me to the rosary instead. All I can say is daily prayer, going to church and constantly keeping God on your mind is like emptying a filthy glass of water and pouring yourself a new glass of fresh clean water that can't ever be contaminated. Maybe time has come for you to pour yourself that glass.
Get some deliverance. Seriously. And get the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Not of water, if you have that, but baptism in the Spirit. It will give you power supernaturally to be set free. It's all in the Bible.
Feeling family members causing you great pain .....as it goes on, is very difficult to pray for them as they are in process of cursing you. Without The Lords help, I find it impossible.
Where does regret come in? The things we purposely did for revenge? Oh, we caused the hurt to the other...Myself...I say "I AM SORRY" but the shame of the action is still with me. One of the actions that I did...that I have learned to never do. THINK...before you ACT! Guilt SUCKS. Even the small things. My nephew wanted 400 bucks..and I assumed he would never pay me back so I said NO...this was years ago...and now he is very successful. I just recently apologized to him!
The 2 people I need to forgive are my mother in law and brother in law. They are both Christians and attend Mass, but they are both manipulative, liers, one has been to jail twice for violence, and the mother in law despises me. Im struggling because every time I make peace to release and forgive, they come around and do more hurtful things. This stinks, they are my family so I cant cut them out, but im trapped in terrible a cycle. And im sure the demons are loving that. I'm thinking of speaking to my priest about it because I need serious help, Im in despair.
I try to keep this in mind when being exposed to behavior like that starts feeling humiliating: "In thy humiliation keep patience. For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation." Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 2:4-5
True, true, true. The Devil is the master of division and eventual destruction. You always see this in marriage. If there is one advice for newlyweds, learn to forgive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving that we receive.
too many people want to harm. I have taught myself that we are human and we make mistakes...and it is NOT personal. We are flawed. I may get angry at the moment....like my other half...we may argue for two seconds...and it is forgotten!
I feel like there's a lot of unforgiveness in my partner also because she would never forgive me every time I try to apologize and explain things she would just totally ignore and avoid everything I said
Your partner? How about boyfriend or girlfriend - that's what God calls it. If you're in a serious relationship I hope you mean marriage. God says marriage or be single. If you're engaged to be married ( and living separately and monogamously that you God) but if you happen to not be following God's ways you have more trouble than you know.
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. - Jesus. Leave it all to God. The one who did you an injustice will be held accountable for her actions towards you. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us in doing what's right. Forgive, move on and live a better life for the glory of God.
Fr I respect and i Belive word of god on forgiveness but the The people holding poison and you forgive them, and you welcome back them in your life soon such people poision your hole life in multipule negative way that is also devil 😈 when the people cannot see and think good about you , they never going to make your life peace full and holy. So i Ignore and delete such people from my life, Am i doing corroct or wrong ?
Reconciliation isn't necessary. As long as you forgive them in your heart, that's OK. They don't even need to know you have forgiven them! It may not be prudent to accept people back into your life that haven't earned your trust back first, though. Sometimes keeping our distance is the "greater" good. If the person has harmed you, it is their responsibility to reach out and show that they have changed for the better. If not, leave them alone and keep walking with God. When we go to Heaven, we are supposed to let go of all earthly attachments... That includes "creatures". Otherwise we go to Purgatory, so by letting these people go you are actually working towards becoming detached and then you are free to redirect all that energy into pursuing God. 🙏
I do not physically retaliate. I petition God to destroy their pride, by way of their lineage. But you forgive molesters because their worth just as much as their poor victims. Forgiveness as used now is just a ploy of non accountability.
How do you forgive the husband who left ypu with a baby in diapers, who ran off with the secretary, who made you into a strugglung, single mother, after marrying him in the Catholic Church?? Who justifies my financial struggles as " lies" and who continues to hurt his son, emotionally by not being there???? How???

@@elishaforrester1150They are slaves of sins!
When grave harm is done by a person, what a horrible state that perpetrator is in - mind, soul and body. St. Maria Goretti understood this perfectly.
That is very true! Forgiveness gives you liberation. Liberation from hate, anger, and wallowing in pain. Forgiveness is a gift from God.
This was so profound for me, that I am still organizing my thoughts. For now, suffice it to say that this really gave me a lot to think about.
Because so much of the culture around us, movies, books TV series etc glorify revenge narratives, holding grudges etc that is easy to get swept up and not think of this as Fr explains it. It’s easy to forget that hate maybe a Jewish/Muslim/pagan etc virtue but it is not a Christian virtue.

Forgiveness is an easy way out for scumbags.
A solid 20% of everyone I've encountered is a scumbag to some degree.
People who hold grudges are ignorant. They can't grasp that they're holding in poison
and mental prison!
Sadly, stubbornness and pride seem to be a couple of the reasons people hold on to unforgiveness.
I am finding it hard to forgive. This is eating me alive
I do not physically retaliate. I petition God to destroy their pride, by way of their lineage. But you forgive molesters because their worth just as much as their poor victims. Forgiveness as used now is just a ploy of non accountability.
