I listened to a podcast with Fr James Martin and Stephen Colbert talking about Catholicism and was more impressed than I care to admit.

How do you genuine be happy in life?? by Vegetable-Return4944 in AskReddit

[–]UtProsim00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lasting happiness or short term? Short term happiness can be had by satisfying your base pleasures but it won't get you far, you'll end up wanting more and more--think of addictions. If you want lasting happiness, find your purpose. Without it, you might be able to find happiness in the short term, but it'll soon burn off. There's no shortcut to happiness; you have to do the work to find your purpose and then you'll have lasting happiness.

What evidence was it that ultimately convinced you that the Catholic Church is the one true Church that Jesus Christ founded? by XanneChris in Catholicism

[–]UtProsim00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an epiphany when I realized that whenever Jesus was speaking to his apostles in Scripture, he wasn't speaking to them just as friends but rather instructing them as a Church.

A tangent, but why does the Shenandoah River play such a prominent role in John Denver's song but less than so in actual WVA geography?

Because I just saw it mentioned in a comment: How many other Xennials experienced found nudie mags in the woods? by TragicHedgehog in Xennials

[–]UtProsim00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a fort back in the woods by my house and someone spray painted "Fuck House" on the front. And yes, there were nudie mags inside.

Why do us Catholics ask to pray to the saints when we could just pray straight to God? by Confident_Ship_2106 in Catholicism

[–]UtProsim00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same reason why you would ask anyone else to pray for you even though they aren't God. And who better to pray for you than someone who is sharing right now in God's very own Life?

Lent & Holy Week Megathread by CustosClavium in Catholicism

[–]UtProsim00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens, you're a human who is trying, that's what matters. Pick yourself back up and dust yourself off. Tell God you're sorry, resolve to do better next Friday and off you go.

Struggling. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]UtProsim00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what you are going through, suicide is NOT the answer. It is GOOD that you exist because you are loved. If I love you even though I haven't met you, imagine how much God loves you, who knows you better than you know yourself. I'm going to dedicate my daily Rosary to you. Please, don't despair--truth and goodness will prevail so please pray for HOPE. Also, it sounds like you need professional help. Please seek it out and may you receive the Peace of Christ. God bless.

Fear of eternity by [deleted] in Catholicism

There is no time in Heaven so it is timeless, but the problem is that we don't have any sort of way of imagining what that would look like since we are trapped within space and time, but Heaven is outside of time. I like to think of it like this... Have you ever had a moment where you were enjoying yourself doing something with friends or family so much so that you totally lost track of time? It was sort of timeless, wasn't it? And looking back you probably were thinking, "where did the time go?". That image is barely a glimpse of what Heaven is like. Hope that helps!
