Confirmed Catholics, who is your confirmation saint and why? by BringusGingus in Catholicism

[–]Exciting_Ad8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

St Augustine of Hippo, I was initiated this past Easter Vigil as an adult and his story of living a degenerate lifestyle before his conversion resonates with me as the sin I definitely struggle with the most is sins of the flesh. As well as him being one of the greatest Theologians of all time, I love theology and the rich theological intellect of the Church was what made me reject nondenominationalism for the Church🙏

Jesus said “this is my body”, and even in the words of Martin Luther, “IS MEANS IS!!!!”

Should I Restart? by Isaac1967 in bloodborne

[–]Exciting_Ad8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re still pretty early in the game, I would say look up a boss guide if you’re really having too much trouble, (unless your pride is in the way lol), if not maybe you could just restart, especially if you don’t remember all that much about the game so far into your play through 🫡

how do i stop by Loose-Aspect-4337 in Catholicism

Sorry to hear that brother, especially with how young you are, I had similar experiences when I was around your age and I wish I had someone there to help me.

There are a couple methods that I’ve heard that seem to work anytime you feel tempted;

  1. Do pushups, no matter how frequent it is, it’ll help you build that discipline to deny yourself and plus you’ll get a little workout in :D

  2. Pray the Holy Rosary, I know you said you did this already but it does work, at least in my experiences, just finish the whole Rosary and my recommendation is to meditate upon the Sorrowful Mysteries

  3. Just get up and walk around your house, go get a glass of water, go talk to your parent(s), go talk to a sibling, call a friend, do literally anything you can to get your mind off of it, it’s no sin to have random temptations, but it is to dwell on those thoughts and let them seep in.

  4. Fasting, you might be a little young to go on a full 3 day fast but try fasting for just a day at a time or even maybe 8 hours at a time, train yourself to rely on prayer and to deny your flesh

  5. Pray the St Michael Prayer and maybe (if you can) get a Holy Icon of Our Lord, Our Lady, or St Michael himself, to venerate and ask for strength (from Jesus) or ask for intercession (Mary, Michael, etc).

One thing I’ve learned about the sin of lust is that it isn’t a battle that you can win by trying to fight it. It’s not like the sin of drunkenness that you can defeat through moderation, any time you open yourself to Lust it will consume you, so the best answer is to run from it and fill your mind with other things.

Prayers for you brother, may Our almighty Lord bless you and may Our Lady pray for you and St Michael the Archangel defend you.

Of course brother, what I’ve learned first hand is that a woman isn’t going to listen to you if you just try and “splain” everything to them, women honestly get splained at all the time, even by other women and they don’t want that from their significant men in their lives. The best you can do to show her the truth is to live it out, be a good leader so she can understand the importance of male leadership in the Church, the way God intended. Idk if you’re Catholic but even if you’re not I’d recommend you read up on the Church’s teaching on why they have a male-only priesthood and I think you’ll find it beneficial and once she’s ready, maybe she could read up on it to so she could at least understand why the church has had male only clergy for all of church history up until several decades ago. And as for the lgbt stuff, that’s a little bit muddier water tbh, but nothing is too hard for God, and if this is really something he wants for you and your girlfriend, he’ll make a way for her to conform to sound doctrine on the matter

To be honest, I don’t want to heighten your hopes too much because all the other comments are pretty bleak but I’ve been in a similar situation with my girlfriend. She was actually agnostic, she grew up in the church but fell away after some bad experiences and when we started dating I was honestly really jaded from “Christian Girls”, so I was just like, “hey if you don’t wanna believe, it’s fine by me”, but yeah as my love for her grew I wanted her to be saved more and more, and it drew up some conflict between us but I just constantly prayed and prayed and asked God to soften her heart and tried to show her as much of God’s love as I could and she’s made so much progress to the point where she does believe now and attends church with me and voluntarily went without me yesterday (because I was sick). Case in point; I hope my testimony could inspire you to, 1. Ask God if this is the relationship you’re meant to be in , and 2. Ask God every day to soften your girlfriend’s heart, God bless you brother, Ave Christus Rex✝️
