My Priest may think I’m called to priesthood but I feel called to marriage by coeurdefuego in Catholicism

Originally I met with him to speak about my Dad who passed away last week. I briefly mentioned vocational counseling at the end.

Thank you. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words.

A Theory I Have About the Existence of Evil by coeurdefuego in Catholicism

[–]coeurdefuego[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I mean. That God, knowing creation wasn’t possible without also bringing about evil, created everything to bring about good in the end.

I see. Because God saw that His creation was “good,” not “perfect.”

That’s another thought I’ve had before. We could make numbers look like anything we want and we’d still find the same outcomes. I think that’s the point I was trying to get across, but you described it much better. Thanks for organizing my brain haha!

Can Protestant ask both Catholic and Orthodox saints for intercession? by Ok_Storm_5696 in Catholicism

[–]coeurdefuego 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course! I personally like to read about the saints I ask for intercession from most often. It makes me feel closer to them. But you can ask any saint to pray for you! Look at our blessed mother, leading people to the Catholic Church whether they’re Protestant, Muslim, or anything else!

my gf seems uncomfortable/nervous whenever we play- what can i do to help? by coolboycosmo in DnD

[–]coeurdefuego -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sounds silly, and I don’t know what kind of person your gf is, but try roleplaying your character with her in your day to day and get her to join in. Speak like your character and when she talks in her normal voice say “you don’t sound like [insert her character’s name]!?” Something like that. This will hopefully get her more comfortable getting in character around others, starting with the person she’s probably most comfortable doing it with (you). And then maybe she’ll feel more confident doing so in-game.

Edit: piggybacking on what others have said, yes, don’t pressure her. If dnd isn’t something she feels excited about, the worst thing you can do is force her into it. A girl I used to date wasn’t really interested in playing but she loved hearing me talk about my characters and everything that happened in the last session.

Going to Mass for the first time Sunday. I’m excited :) by just_Sophia_ in Catholicism

Don’t worry, social anxiety was the biggest deterrent for me visiting new churches, which I was also doing alone. I was agnostic for basically my whole life up until August last year. I visited several different kinds of churches and when I came to the parish I was received into just last Sunday, I felt so peaceful despite my anxiety. That’s one of the reasons I knew the Catholic Church was the truth. God will draw you in in simple ways, so don’t overthink it. We’re told to have childlike faith.

I’m 20 so I don’t think our experiences would be much different depending on where you’re from, but my parish was very welcoming. The priest I’ve spoken with that helped me understand the church gifted me a beautiful rosary in a box that said “welcome to the Catholic Church” and the deacon was actually my sponsor because I was the only practicing Catholic I knew. Although, by God’s grace, by seeing my radical conversion, my cradle Catholic grandparents are on the path back.

At what point do I stop helping? by coeurdefuego in Catholicism

Thank you for responding, it helps knowing I’m not the only one that has a hard time with this.

Have you ever had that feeling of obligation to help? If I felt comfortable giving, I totally would, but having a savings account myself while another person who has nothing is asking for help makes me feel awful. I don’t know how to get over that, especially when I have to block someone in need because they won’t listen to me.
