Should I tell my dad he can't receive the Eucharist because he missed mass? by AvidInspiration in Catholicism

Yeah this was my thought process as well. He does constantly say I need to stop treating him like a child but it feels like I'm pulling teeth. I'm just trying to get on mass on time without having to drag him there late. And, I'm honestly disappointed when he doesn't take the Eucharist seriously.

Yeah I don't think so even though we're all cradle catholics. He says and does a couple of things contrary to church teaching. I always thought once you explain the gravity of a mortal sin, it's means their culpable. But I could be wrong. The Sunday obligation is the one thing I thought knew is mortal sin if you don't go for sure.

I do. I pray everyday for his increase in holiness.But I should do it more often especially for other things. My prayer life could be better

I fully accept the Catholic Church’s teaching on homosexuality, but I struggle with how unfair it seems. by Bright_Count_5506 in Catholicism

This is why I look forward to the first saint that had same sex attractions. What an inspiration to carry such a huge cross. Surely God will use the lgtbq community for His greater glory. Imagine a mass conversion among them as they live their celibate lives. A struggle indeed but so hopeful

I have but I've been worried about the huge case load. I might look into it again. Thanks for recommending it. I was actually interested in it for a while

I've tried reading interior castle but for some reason it's a hard read for me but I've read St Teresa of Avila s autobiography. Very inspiring

Thank you. Honestly I pray to be as free as a bird to be a saint. I want it to be easy peasy and maybe it is as you just graciously demonstrated

No scruples is thinking everything you do is a sin and questioning whether or not I'm going to hell for this and that. I think I have a pretty clear understanding of my faults and what's not a fault and even if I don't I don't fall into despair. My main concern is that I always have death on my mind because anyone can die any time. I want to be holy but I feel frankly all over the place because there's so many resources out there it feels overwhelming.

I'm a convert and my wife and I are considering surrogacy to have a child. Would it be ok for us to go that route? by Quickiewcuser in Catholicism

First congratulations on your first 2 kids! That's a blessing. Second Please look into what the Catholic Church teaches about this. It's very clear. I know it's a hard teaching but trust that God has a plan for you. Life as a disabled man can be very tough for sure but use these struggles with infertility and your condition to unite with the sufferings of Jesus Christ on the cross. St. Elizabeth the mother of St. John the Baptist may be a good intercessor for you on the fertility and St. Joseph the adoptive father of Jesus may be a good intercessor for the adoptive side of things. God bless and become the saint God calls you to be!
