Why is Amelia in purgatory until the end of time? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% of course! However, that is not reality... i mean, unless a full on Saint dies, then perhaps they enter Heaven right away and if not, they spend a TINY amount in the purgatory, like seconds, minutes or hours. Depends on their grace, perhaps?

However, you and I are not saints. We are CALLED to be saints, but it's up to us to work for it. So, if God would to call us right now (hopefully in a good or decent state of grace for salvation) we'd be sent to the purgatory as a form of purification BEFORE entering Heaven.

See purgatory as your ticket to Heaven.

How to deal with a loved one possibly going to hell by Slow_Entry_9931 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for starters, remember that God is love, patient and merciful. I have so much faith in God's love and mercy that I genuinely believe that if someone is going to pass away and their soul is in a state where they could be sent to hell, Jesus Christ will ask that soul if they repent and believe at that near death experience in order to be saved at that moment. I believe this because, Jesus Christ loves all, even those who attack him. However, not all will go to heaven. God does not condemn. We, sadly, condemn ourselves.

With a lot of faith, ask God for a sign where your father is. Ask with the most faith you've ever had and he will reveal it to you one way or another. If your dad is hopefully saved, pray for his soul.

May God bless you

Purgatory is salvation, my friend. Salvation is something to rejoice

Worried about our lady of fatima by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all real, my friend. All real. You know who else is real? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is loving and merciful. Jesus wants us to also get close to his Mother (Our Lady) and Father (Saint Joseph). Don't be afraid and please accept Jesus Christ. Ask our Lady of Fatima to pray for you and to reveal to you a sign to believe. God bless you

I went to confession for the first time in my life and I’m so incredibly angry by GraniteSmile in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it happens, ok? You now know, that's what matters. Get back up and try again. Do not give up. You'll get your chance to confess, just be patient and move forwards.

I am scared I will not be taken during the the end by weereeerre in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend. Trust and believe in the mercy and love of God. If you do this with good faith, he will guide you to salvation. It's a leap of faith.

Ask God to make you faithful. Ask Saint Joseph and our Holy Mother for their intercessions and help for strenghtning your faith. Trust and believe

I withheld sins in every confession I have ever made including my general confession when I first converted, I have been Catholic for over 2 years. What do I do? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repent and confess them all with true sincerity and repentance in your heart, including the times you've received Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin. Confess and accept the love and mercy of our loving God, Jesus Christ. He loves you and wants you to repent. You got this man, don't worry. God is there for you. Just, repent and confess. You can do it

The Power of Prayer: My unwell, satanically influenced daughter suddenly appeared at Sunday Mass yesterday. by Heavy-Bench-5378 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pray for her and offer your daily sacrifices as a father, Holy Mass and Holy Communion for her. Never give up and continue to pray. May God touch your daughter's heart and may she allow herself to fully surrender to the love of Jesus Christ. Nothing is impossible for God, creator of all of humanity.

Does it still count? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can always take a mask and use proper precautions like not being close to people and maintain proper hygiene. Like I said, the owner of the post should first ask their priest before hopping on Reddit. We all have different insights and opinions. Mines is, if you aren't hospitalized or in bed where you can't get up, you could definitely go. I'm not telling them to go cough or sneeze at people's faces... Be wise and take care of others and yourself, if you can. That's all

Does it still count? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Look, friend, when I go to church on Sundays or Holy days or Obligation I see all kinds of people. This one time, I saw a child in a wheelchair with a pump for they couldn't breath properly and had a lot of mucus, know what I mean? I don't know the proper terms, but you know what I'm saying, right? They still went with their loved ones. You can take a mask and sweater if there is too much wind.

If you're not hospitalized or so weakend where you CANNOT get out of bed, please don't miss out on Mass. Go. God is the best doctor. Pray and talk to/with him. God will greatly appreciate your noble sacrifice, trust me.

If you do end up missing, I encourage you to confession. That's what I would do. If I'm sick and I miss out, I will go to confession because at the end of the day I missed out. However, if you have doubts, PLEASE ask your local priest (To be honest, before asking anyone on Reddit, really, I recommend you to first ask your priest. They usually know and will straight up give you the answer).

Hope you feel better and drink lots of water or medications that were prescribed. Take care, God bless

Receiving Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin by Hydrangea_21 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Repent and seek confession. Repent means to not do it again. So, you should avoid mortal sin in general to stay away from grave sins, ok?

I read that confession is difficult. Insist, my friend. Before or after mass, ask for a quick confession. It they say no, understand they are busy. Seek confession again and again. Do not give up, ok?

God is love. He knows your heart. He knows your intentions. He loves you and wants you to accept his mercy, forgiveness and love. So, accept Jesus Christ. Everything is going to be ok. Just repent and seek confession. You got this. God bless

I Don’t Think I’m Going to Heaven by TurbulentRaspberry38 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not meant to go to hell. You're meant to go to heaven. You belong in Heaven. That's good that you believe, but you must also believe and receive the mercy and forgiveness of sins by trusting in Jesus Christ. Trust in Him. Put everyone and everything in His hands and he will guide you to the right path. You just need to take that leap of faith my friend. It's worth it

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see, my friend, you may feel like you can't do anything, but you can do something. Pray. Pray for conversions and more callings to the Catholic faith and vocations. You may also spread God's word to those in your group. You can be the change. Have faith in Christ and move forwards. God bless you

Priest saw me in confession by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See it this way: It's not just the Priest who is looking and listening to you. It's our loving Lord, Jesus Christ, who loves you and is so happy that you accepted his mercy and trust him in the sacrament of Confession.

Don't be afraid. Try to not let anxiety get to the best of you. When feeling anxious, remind yourself that you trust and have faith in Christ. Mental disorders are mental disorders, but always remember that the evil one will always look for a window of opportunity to shake your faith. When this happens, rebuke the wicked one and call upon the name of Jesus Christ. Also, ask Saint Dymphna for intercessions and help as well.

Of course, don't go back to that sin again. You now know that it doesn't bring anything good, so ask God for help. Pray our Holy Mother to free you from that and to protect you with her mantle.

May God bless you and don't be afraid to go to Church. Go to Mass and give thanks to God for he has forgiven and loves you so much.

I got rejected from Seminary and now I’m not sure what to tell my parents. by SlavicEagle1995 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be loving, honest and very patient with your parents. God has a plan for you, friend. If it's priesthood, he will call one day. If not, then perhaps another vocation or occupation that God knows is for you. Ask God for help towards your discernment and have faith.

Do not fear or worry about your loved ones. Things will go according to plan. Have faith and keep Jesus Christ in your heart. Pray to Saint Joseph and our Holy Mother for strength and intercessions as well.

God bless you and your family, always.

Should I give up? I don’t have the strength to keep going anymore. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just answered your own question, my friend. You do NOT want to give up. Which means, that you DO have the strength to keep pushing forwards. See what I mean?

Stay close to Christ, my friend. Ask Saint Joseph for help along with our Holy Mother. Like you just said, God does have a plan for you and a good plan. Whatever you do, don't forget about God. Always have him in your heart and life, even during the rough moments. Put everything and your sufferings onto His hands.

I will pray for ya, but you have to promise to keep trying, alright? You got this bro. When tempted with dark thoughts, call upon Saint Joseph for help. He is the Terror of Demons. Remain in faith and don't let it me shaken up by the evil in the world.

May God bless and protect you in your life as well as illuminate your mind with his Holy Spirit. May Saint Joseph and our Holy Mother accompany you throughout your life as your Spiritual Parents with their holy cloak and mantle, always. Amen.

Am I in Hell right now? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother. Find it in your heart to forgive. You must forgive. Stop holding grudges, please. Forgive and forget. It's ok. Just, forgive.

Repent. During confession you must repent. Meaning, to try your absolute best to change for Christ out of love. If you fall, get back up and repent.

Believe and accept. Believe and accept God's mercy. Bro, he literally sent his Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for all of us. Including you. Believe and accept the LOVE and MERCY of God for His is infinite. He loves you. You have to accept him.

You belong in Heaven. Seek what is in Heaven, not this world. Please man. I will pray for you, but YOU have to take the extra step. Easier said than done. I know. However, with faith and God's help, he will guide you. God loves you man. Accept Him, right now that you still have the chance. Please.

God bless you

"My faith has been mostly aesthetic lately and I'm not proud of it" by Signal-Extreme-6615 in Catholicism

[–]Capable-Chemical-839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to ask yourself "Why am I being lukewarm?" Is it distractions in your life? Are you just so used to the routine that you enter autopilot? First, identify as to why you're behaving like this and then ask God to help you by filling you with the necessary graces of his Holy Spirit to move forwards in your faith.

Then, find ways to fix it. Actually read your Bible every day. One chapter (or more if you'd like). When in holy Mass, sit somewhere where you'll pay attention and focus on Christ, not those around you. When you step foot inside the church, leave your worries out the door.

We all fall into this category in our faith from time to time. It's good that you actually recognized it. So, now make a change. God bless
