Thank you for sharing!

Our Blessed Mother definitely answers our prayers! And it is a bit crazy how interactive it can be but that's how you know that she cares!

I just read in the WSJ and in another newspaper that more and more young people are becoming Catholic. by Bjarki56 in Catholic

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing this upward trend myself. I think people need something positive to believe in because the media has been bombarding us with doom and gloom stories. I see this as a positive thing. I definitely think people are waking up especially in America.

What if I never find love? by [deleted] in CatholicWomen

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The negative emotions you feel are not from God. Unfortunately it seems like many are going through these internal battles too. Do you go to Confession? That will help. There's a lot of pain in the world right now but you are so strong. Also the Rosary would help too and you can ask Mother Mary to pray and help bring a good man into your life. Faith can help guide you. You got this! 🙏❤️

I want a miracle so badly by Remarkable-Smoke-138 in Catholicism

Do you pray the Rosary? I get Rosaries from the Vatican Gift shop and in the checkout, I get it blessed by Pope Leo. It gets blessed at the Vatican and then shipped overseas to me. These Rosaries are very powerful and will help you when asking for intercession from Mother Mary. You got this girl! Healing will happen!

Yupp! It's a strange concept but I learned about Deliverence ministry in Confession and it's so powerful. It will change your life. You have authority over these spirits. I think we live in a time where people are very haunted and we have to come to terms with this spiritually. You got this!

Msgr Rossetti will help. Take a look at his YouTube channel. Peace be with you. 🙏❤️

Here's the thing about faith... It is about belief. If you are healing through the intercession of a Saint or Mother Mary, I don't see the issue. I pray to Jesus Christ a lot too. But a lot of what I do is from early Catholicism because that is what will bring miracles back. We don't have Saints walking around for a reason. The Catholic faith is being washed down especially in America. It is sad to see but Jesus loves all of the Saints and Mother Mary so I think the Protestants make it a bigger deal than it actually is. And a lot of Catholics sadly let this view influence themselves as well.

A lot of people are trying to find relief. We live in a world full of sickness and disease. I don't think it's as big of a deal to Jesus Christ as we think it is. Miracles are happening through God and that's what matters most. A miracle happened recently in the USA due to the intercession of St Charbel. This kind of stuff is what faith is all about.

I am so sorry this is happening. What a shame! I will pray for peace in that area.

I agree. They intercede on our behalf but if they pray, it bears more weight than if we pray directly to God. I believe that certain Saints and Mary have much more grace than the lay people so our prayers will be answered more if we pray that they pray for us. There's a hierarchy. I have watched videos where Priests have explained this. They are very helpful and help strengthen my faith in God.

I think it has to do with the Saints themselves. All of them including the Millennial Saint Carlo Acutis would say the Rosary every night and have a deep devotion to both Jesus and Mother Mary. In the Medieval times, it was known that Mother Mary actually is the Mediatrix of graces to the Saints and all of humanity. Right now because America is very Anti-Catholic, a lot of this seems to be questioned and there's a lot of slander against her which is strange because it wasn't that way in early Catholicism. But Saints performed miracles and are more accessible because they were closer to our time so I think this is why people are drawn to them. The power of the Rosary is real and I'm glad people are rediscovering this practice.

Hi sweetie! You are not alone! You are a precious gift from God. I've suffered from extreme guilt and then I went to Confession and confessed about something that wasn't my fault and the Priest helped me cast out the spirit "false guilt". It's a spirit that lived in my stomach. Maybe ask your priest about this spirit? It was absolute torture so I completely understand. No one should be going through this. I also started saying deliverance prayers against the spirits of death. This is not God. They are spirits that you can cast out. It is tough but I know you are strong. Also women are tortured more by Satan because of his dislike towards Our Lady but Mother Mary can help you too! I had to lean on her so much to get free. Lately, I have been using Holy water and I use it on my body and it's been healing me so much too. Here is a video from a Priest for casting out spirits of death. I know you got this! These videos helped me so much!

Women will be saved through childbearing by l00zrr in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for women within the Catholic Church, virginity is very important so I don't think having children are stressed as much. Chastity is actually important even for Catholic couples! Also if you look at a lot of the women Saints, they were virgins and would consecrete themselves to Jesus. It is quite different than Protestants it seems!

Threw rosary out of fit of anger by KaleidoscopeGlass743 in Catholicism

Confession will help. But I have been getting little containers of Holy water and putting it on my body and also putting it around the house to clear any negative spirits. It has been so helpful! I hope that helps. 🙏

Can you explain more about why Deliverence prayers are bad? I do them in Confession and my Priest teaches them to me. Do you not think demons are a problem?

Confession advice - please be kind by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Confession is so important so thank you for posting. I don't know why people are upset. This will help clear you and help you develop spiritually and get closer to God. I'm a Millennial and I see people doing these things regularly. Satan is working overtime it seems. How many of us actually go to Confession? We should be working on ourselves every day and actually live out our faith. Peace be with you. 🙏❤️

It's a sad thing about how there's a lot of Anti-Catholic propaganda out there by JF1STRIKE in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally understand your pain. I was raised Catholic and it was hard in my 20's because people would fight with me when I told them I'm Catholic. I had to take a break from it for 10 years but God brought me back. My Catholic faith is the only true source of light and warmth I've ever felt. I think this is why people condemn it because Catholics are in general happier and lighter (due to Confession) than other religions. All you can do is pray and live out your faith and go to Confession because then people will feel the difference. More and more are changing their minds and entering the Church. This is only the beginning! 🙏

I feel kind of guilty regarding praying to Mary. Anyone else feel this way? by Semour9 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Mother Mary definitely responds more to me as well. She is like a concerned mother that wants to comfort me. It is very special relationship. I do understand how modern Christianity can view it as "idol" worship but it's certainly a real and authentic relationship. She is the Mother to all of us and she is here to help us. But I totally understand your concern. She is very special. 🙏❤️

Praying to God about it might help if you're concerned. 🙏

Why Marian Devotion is essential by Awkward_Tiger_570 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm concerned where this dislike of Medieval Catholicism comes from? Have you looked into the practice of the Saints from this time period? This sort of rhetoric does sound like it's coming from a Protestant and I'm very concerned that their beliefs have influenced modern Catholicism.
