For those that listend to the Bishop's sermon what are your thoughts? I might have misunderstood it. I understand our fallen nature interferes with our approach to things. Hence, feelings 𝑎𝘯𝑑 thoughts need to be brought into subjection to Jesus Christ and his truth. But it seemed to me being empathetic is something that we were discouraged to pursue. Empathy is a tool, a means by which we can know how to approach others. Maybe it is a difference in culture and definition, as I believe the Bishop is from the States and referenced “woke” culure. The definition of emphaty im familiar with is the ability to understand others and see them with dignity, love, and, compassion. And acting upon this, which entails doing what is eddying regardless of temporary affliction. It is not worry about “hurting other’s feelings” and hence backing up ill behavior. If we are in their shoes we would want someone to do what it takes to bring us to the knowledge of the truth and snatch us from hell. Thoughts are welcomed, brothers and sisters

Everytime i work on my sinful nature, a different sin attacks me. If i fix lust, gluttony becomes a problem. If i fix both lust and gluttony, wrath becomes a problem. I know i must be doing something wrong and i know without Gods grace i cannot combat these issues but i know i also need to still fight against it. Has anyone else ever felt this way and if you have what helped you in your journey?

@kareenjagtap1916The Holiness of His presence ✨️
Today, while attending Mass, simply being in the presence of God and receiving Him into my heart, I was overwhelmed by one thought: how unworthy I am. I thought of all the things I have done that nobody else knows about. The things only God has seen—the thoughts, the feelings, the sins, the moments I am ashamed of. Yes, we confess them, and yet when I truly stop and think about the holiness of God, I wonder: what on earth did I ever do to deserve being here? In the Old Testament, men could not simply enter the Holy of Holies. Yet today, I can enter a church, kneel before the Blessed Sacrament, and simply be there—with God Himself. All because of our Lord and his sacrifice. Just to be there. I don't have enough words, enough love, or anything worthy enough to ever thank Him for this grace. And perhaps I never will. But I want to remember this: how holy that place truly is. Sometimes we enter in haste. Sometimes we don't give ourselves enough time to adore Him. Sometimes we forget Whom we are standing before. But God has made it possible for us—dust and mud that we are—to enter that very place where He chooses to dwell among us. The God before whom the angels stand in awe allows me to come close. And all I can think is: How can I ever take His presence for granted? May I always remember how sacred it is to simply be there with Him.

l/forumI cheated on my wife multiple times and I've committed multiple grave sins. Feeling lost in life.
I'm a baptized Protestant who is coming back to faith and I'm recently drawn heavily towards catholicism. I'm currently going through rough times. I'm married to a Hindu woman. I was in love with her for over 2 years before getting married to her in Nov 2025. We married in both Hindu and Christian cultures. I'm a terrible person and I have cheated on her multiple times with multiple people before and after marriage. I have committed grave sins behind her back and I can't even speak of them to anyone. I've cried and repented to God to forgive and it's difficult to completely get rid of all the thoughts. I'm planning for a confession with priest soon and I'm scared to disclose all these to her. It'll break her heart and shatter her. I can't even face her. I can't even stay and sleep properly because of this. And regarding the confession, it'll be the first confession in 30 years and I've committed countless grave sins and I regret all of them. I realized I was in the dark and drowning in sin without realising the damage I'm doing to myself and Christ. I'm worried about my marriage and my wife when she gets to know all the things I've done, I pray God prepares her for my disclosure to her. I genuinely love her and I'm the person who's going to shatter her with all this. Also, I'm trying really hard to get over bad thoughts and old ways that are obstructing me from full repentence. I don't know what willy life look like. I want a fresh start and I want a new chance at life from God and my wife. If anyone's been in a similar situation, what did you do? What was the aftermath? Please share any advice God please help me Please pray for me 🙏

Worrying Doesn’t Work. Do This Instead Sep 02, 2026 This past Sunday, our deacon gave a homily regarding God and Mammon. Some of his words have stayed with me through the week and I wish to unpack them here. He said something to the effect that men who are inclined to control their environment, view the uncertainties of life as a threat, not simply an inconvenience. Throughout my life, I have very much fallen into this camp. I have viewed such uncertainties as something to be managed meticulously. Those uncertainties must be planned around, worried into submission and eliminated. The homily’s main message (or perhaps simply what I drew from it) was the same question Christ asked on the mount in so many words. “How’s that working for you?” In truth, it is not working and has never worked for anyone. You Cannot Worry Your Way to Peace Christ didn’t say worry was simply unpleasant. He said it was utterly useless. “And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?” - Matthew 6:27 To put this into perspective, no man, in the history of the world has ever extended life, solved his problem, protected his family or improved his circumstances in any way by worrying. Worrying is simply an illusion of control. You may feel like you are doing something productive, but ultimately it accomplishes nothing and frankly, usually it weakens your body too. Sitting down, worrying about every catastrophe that could befall you is not the same as preparing for your future. Worrying is simply unchristian. I have had to come to grips with this myself and only now am I beginning to accept it. For the good of your body, mind and soul, you cannot steal from the present by borrowing misery from tomorrow that may or may not even take place. That thing you have spent the last few days, or weeks afraid of either does not come to pass or it comes at you in an extremely different manner than you feared. And yet, you survived; you have no other option right? It’s a Control Problem: Small distinction, but an important one; the need to fully control your environment doesn’t make you a strong man, it confirms your weaknesses. You are frightened, not in control. A need of control does not come from confidence, it comes from the absence of trust. This is why I maintain that worry, even though I am a man impacted by such thoughts, is unchristian. To worry means to subconsciously say to oneself that God cannot be relied upon. A man tries to be a god and wonders where the exhaustion is stemming from. To be fair, there are things within our control and things outside of it. Just because something is outside of your control does not mean it is outside of God’s. Whatever you may think in the moment, God is not indifferent to your situation. The Church teaches this. God is a Father. He knows all the hairs on our head. Worry is not the answer and never has been. It has always been trust in God. The saints lived in the real life circumstances of their time and faced real suffering, in much worse physical conditions than what we enjoy today. They all arrived at the same conclusions about worrying. When a man’s heart is in unsettled over things outside of his control, the room for God in it shrinks. Such worry chokes out prayer. How can we hear His voice when our hearts are not quiet enough to listen? Padre Pio’s famous quote was not “Pray and manage your anxiety.” Pray. Hope. Don’t worry. Creature Comforts Men, the Cross was not comfortable. Christ did not promise us comfort. In fact, he promised exactly the opposite. This is what you signed up for. Christ promised them a cross of their own and if carried, a crown. The servant is not greater than the Master and our Master was crucified. If we build our interior life around the avoidance of discomfort and uncertainty, that house is built on sand. Suffering will definitely come to us all, it is unavoidable. Worrying is incompatible with our Faith. As Catholic men, we are not called to live a comfortable life, we are called to a holy one. We were made for greatness. The Cross was certainly not comfortable. What makes you think we are supposed to be? I do not mean to sound callous or unsympathetic. I am simply trying to add clarity. We have to make peace with the fact that our lives will include suffering and things that are outside of our control. With this clarity, man is free. A man should act and lead. To embody those actions, a man does those in times of suffering and uncertainty. What a man cannot do is be paralyzed by fear and worry. A man of God is not passive, but one who understands which battles to fight for God and which ones God will fight for him. The Catholic man serves God and God has told us in plain language that worry is useless. Trust in Him is truly the only thing that actually works. Nick | Catholic Manhood

Dear brothers & sisters in Christ, As Catholics, we strongly believe in the power of intercessory prayer, so I am humbly asking for prayers for my sister-in-law. After three grueling days of active labor, she is completely sleep-deprived, enduring immense pain, and utterly exhausted.

@deusubiqueesIs it bad that I feel my faith grows and wains too frequently?
Within the last few months, I have had ups and downs in my faith, I feel as sometimes I am not worthy of the promises of Christ, or I feel as im too vain to others and even when I try to meditate or dive deep into scripture to find the answer, even if the answer is given to me, I feel as if the solution is too far from me. I understand it is a constant battle, I guess I am just looking for some clearance from others experiencing or have experienced similar things. Thank you all, God bless.

Lord Jesus, in this short prayer we wish to entrust to You everything that has been and all that is yet to come. We thank You for the days that have passed and ask for the grace to draw from them both wisdom and peace. Cleanse our hearts, renew our hope, and grant us the wisdom to enter the new week with trust. Bless our family, our work, and our rest; lead us to be light where there is darkness and goodness where love is lacking. Holy Spirit, fill us with Your gifts, that in the coming week we may live faithfully, patiently, and with joy. Grant us courage for good decisions, strength to bear difficulties, and hearts ready to forgive. May each day be blessed: may our words bring peace, our hands offer help, and our steps lead ever closer to God. Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and protect us on all our paths. Amen.
l/forum@kareenjagtap1916A Beautiful Way to See Our Priests 🤍
While doing my Bible study today, I came across Exodus 28:12, where the names of the twelve tribes of Israel are to be engraved on the shoulder stones of Aaron’s vestment. Father Mike explained something that really touched me. Just as Aaron carried the names of all of Israel before God, our priests carry us before God too. They represent their parish community, remembering us, praying for us, and bringing us before the Lord. And at every Mass, when the priest offers the Holy Sacrifice, there is something so intimate about knowing that in some way, I am being carried there too I had never thought of a priest this way before—as someone who carries my name before God. 🤍
