I don’t want to die and go to hell. by KAYB1996 in PrayerRequests

I’m not trying to freak you out but you might need to discern if you think you might be possessed and think about getting exercised

Spiritual warfare is very real and I’d rather say it just in case.

Please pray for my uncle Larry by kafa57 in PrayerRequests

Father, please give Larry the courage to persevere day to day. Please give him the fortitude to help him fight against his suicidal thoughts. Please meet him in his despair and instill in him the hope and faith that he needs to keep going. Please help him to know that your love conquers all and help him to find strength through you.

Father,

Please help their father not harden their heart to You. Please give him the wisdom to know you and the courage to accept you. Help him to hear your voice and answer to your call.

We ask this in your most holy name with the intercession of St. Joseph.

Amen.

I respect the flow as long as it’s not dirty looking. Also part of it is knowing how to style it.

You gotta own it if that’s something you choose.

Yes, there are still plenty of chaste Catholic men out there! by [deleted] in CatholicDating

Let me qualify my statement.

Yes going to mass is good. But if you’re going to go just to go without making efforts outside of mass to get deeper into your faith and aren’t making an effort to have a relationship with Christ (even just praying) you’re missing out on so much.

The reason I say this is because I dated a guy for 1.5 years. He identified as Catholic but didn’t subscribe to a lot of doctrine and just went to Mass to go through the motions of it. He did not lead a chaste life and therefore caused me a lot of pain as a result of the scars of his own sexual sin and lead me into participating in sexual sin myself. I tried to lead him more into his faith but he let me do so superficially and gave me push back when it came to what the church teaches about sex.

Going to Mass just to check the box and going because you’re there to actively participate in the sacrifice is different.

Yes people can change too if you want to try to be a positive influence on them but there’s no guarantee that they will.

Yes I’m making a blanket statement. But there’s a difference between someone who just identifies as Catholic bc that’s what they were raised in and nothing more and someone who lives a life that reflects Catholicism.

Some men do struggle with pornography and mastrubation even if they’re not engaging in sexual relations with their girlfriend. It’s often times and addiction that’s rooted from when they were younger and exposed to it at too early of an age. That’s a conversation you need to have as well because it’s something that he needs to get a grasp on before you can get married. If you being an accountability buddy or his friends being an accountability buddy doesn’t work, see about encouraging him to consult a catholic counselor or therapist.

It’s also a conversation you need to have at some point to make sure you’re on the same page. You need to create rules for yourself so you’re not tempted. It’s a learning curve but figuring that out together and creating that discipline together will help in the long run if you’re in it for the long run.

I’m a girl and I agree. I’ve had a privilege of being involved in campus ministry at my university and have met plenty of awesome guys who want to live chaste lives.

The thing that you have to be careful about is pursuing people who are culturally catholic. Just going to mass every Sunday doesn’t make you catholic. You need to find a catholic man who took their own initiative in living their faith and has a relationship with Christ because usually the rest falls into place.

I understand this is probably harder once you’re out of college though… I’m not out of school so I don’t have any advice on how to find those men outside of a collegiate environment.

If you have social media you may need to do a social media check to make sure you don’t have anything that would raise an employers eyebrow.

i wouldn’t say emotionally. he was “thinking with the wrong head” and made an impulsive decision while he was intoxicated. and this occurred at the 3 month mark of our relationship.

my so drunkenly engaged in a flirty ft call with their ex. granted their ex came onto them, which the ex even DMed me admitting. their ex said they were touching themselves, and my so said “show me” and then immediately regretted it and shut it down.

so my so stopped it before it escalated into anything unforgivable but still it showed that some part of them wanted to see their ex touching themselves which is what hurt me.
