Father it’s true that sexuality is a gift, but as everything it must used accordingly to natural law made by God. Sodomy for example, is not a sexual experience, it is an immoral act, clearly forbidden by scripture and from Saint Paul. Do you agree?

Thank you Father this is so helpful.

Thank you Jesus for bringing father into my life ! May the saints pray for him, and the angels protect him

So good. Thank you.

If you suffer from this worry, you have OCD. You are NOT a bad person. Get a therapist who can help you with this, and do not waste another second of your life in turmoil about your thoughts. Find an OCD therapist NOW.

I apologise if this is off topic just wondering if people are such good parents etc i.e friends family..why they can't aren't or don't stay together??

Just want to know if the Confiteor we pray at Mass is contrary to what Fr is saying when we pray, "I have sinned in my thoughts and words" etc? Another point is that of resolving to stay away from occasions of sin when we ask for forgiveness in confessions. Fr said he watched 5 movie trailers of certain kinds and each gave occasion to certain thoughts which could lead to temptation to certain sins. Avoiding these occasions of sin seems IMHO to be prudent. Any thoughts anyone?

🙏THANK YOU FATHER.🙏 THANK YOU ABBA, THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU O HOLY SPIRIT FOR YOUR ETERNAL LOVE, MERCY, FORGIVENESS AND COMPASSION. 🙏I PRAY HAIL MARYS AS A REMEDY TO AVOID COMMITTING MORTAL OR VENIAL SINS DURING THE DAY AND THE NIGHT PRAYER WITH THE EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE WITH FR. JOSEPH MATLAK.

🙏THANK YOU. SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGOURI, ORA PRO NOBIS.

What helped me watching NDE’s

Ocd is horrific I keep getting rude thoughts of Mary and Jesus very rude ones 😢 it upsets me so much

God bless your heart. I needed to hear this. Sometimes I get anxiety almost to a panic attack when I hyperfixate on every moments starting from my thoughts to my words to my actions. Its tiring🥺

Hello father, could you please elaborate or clarify what does the Catechism mean when speaking about “inward” utterances that constitute blasphemy. Would it be correct to say this is not referring merely to inappropriate thoughts in themselves but presume also a malicious intent, such hatred of God or desire to mock God. Or am I mistaken? Thank you.

Thank you father🙏🏼♥️

If I were to knowingly get on the internet to look at an explicit photo, and then choose to stop looking at it, is it still mortal sin?

Well stated. Thank you Fr.

Thank you so much for posting this video, Father. I can’t even express my gratitude.

first off, God bless, secondly how do you have a video on this exact subject i was not expecting to find this

Thank you father this was so helpful

Father I love you, thank you!!!

Tgis was an interesting discussion and important....My wife and me are on ten years of living a chaste marriage. I won't make a judgment on those who do not abide by Pope Paul VI's HV, but I will say that rather than finding it lacking or incomplete, it seems to me to enlighten me, perhaps unintentionally, to the idea that sex has purpose(s) and end goals, and that the further distance between that we generally have understood as "normal" sexual behavior and the prevailing culture the less sustainable and lievable our world has become. I think social science, rather than a study of physical science could back that up. I am a Gen Xer and mine was tge first "liberated" generation. From a purely secular level I think the "loosening of morals" HV warned about has born out a lot in my lifetime and has reached a very dangerous point where young men and women don't really interact much for the purposes of family formation. The idea of family as primary for organising society has colapsed. The void is being filled by radical progressivism, radical traditionalism or just plain toxic misogyny. None of this helps the person struggling with scrupolosity or actual sexual sin, but it is to say I don’t believe we need a rigorous understanding of the physical sciences to understand sex and sexuality shoukd be handled with care.

This Father I would trust with anything, and I have serious trust issues.

Severe Trauma can effect your relationship with Christ . Live through a war as a baby I just know Blessed Mother has me . That's all that matters , Jesus does not judge us like we judge people He judges us by our whole being including psychologically. Jesus wants us to get to heaven more than we do Believe me.

Thank you very much, Fr. Santa, for your dedicated ministry to those of us with scrupulosity. My life has been made better because of your scrupulous anonymous publications. I do have a request: I would like to ask if you could mute the background music because I think it interfered with digesting what you were saying. The background music makes it hard to process what you have said. It is just my opinion but please do consider removing the background music. If I could present myself to be credible in my assessment, I have a degree in medicine. The music interferes with thought processes as the hearing of music and the hearing of your words occur simultaneously, competing with each other. Thank you.

Thank you for baptizing me 6 years ago!

Thank you Father. God bless you. I needed this video.

This content is an absolute oasis of healing in what has been a long and torturous journey through a deep valley of despair. Thank you, Father. Im amazed and feel joy I didn't know existed, I can make it another day. ❤ Ave Maria

God Bless you Father. I have really needed this good counsel. My thanks.

Thank you sir.

I thought this one meant "is Catholic OCD a mortal sin" and was terrified for a second, haha. Regardless, I was having a rough day with intrusive thoughts and really needed this. Thank you, Father!

Thank you so much 🥺

Hi Father: Could you help explain Romans 1: 18-32. Paul discusses that the pagans burned with Lust toward each other. The Lust that King David had resulted in him taking a life because he wanted his wife, no matter what and nothing was going to stop him! I have heard that Paul was discussing Pagan temple worship that the "lust" was a lot of times, drug induced. I've often wondered about that. I "think" what you mean is that LUST is much much more than just plain sexual attraction and desires. The story of King David really puts it into a whole different level. Thanks kindly

Amen

This was very helpful Fr. It would be great to give a talk about homosexuality, as I struggle with that. I know many gay couples that don't appear to have a lustful relationship, but I also am well aware of parts of the community that are driven by lust, which leads to a lot of trouble in their lives and yet, the Lord loves them as much as he loves me. Lust is a biggie for sure.

I've struggled greatly with this. My battle against lust started out as a battle against masturbation and pornography, but it slowly turned into an ocd battle against sexual thoughts where I am obsessively trying to not look at women with lustful intent. Needless to say ever since I've been obsessively concerned with not looking at women lustfully I now do it more then ever because its always on my mind. This obsessiveness has lead me down a dark path of constantly falling back into masturbation and pornography. Im also an illustrator and routinely study the human figuire as part of my work. Never have I been filled with such anxiety during my drawing sessions. This video has helped tremendously. Thank you Fr.

I don’t have an appetite but I’m underweight and I get a runny nose when I eat (a histamine reaction) I also get full before I’ve eaten enough calories because out of the foods I’ve tried I react the least to beef. Should I still eat or is it gluttony to finish if I’m physically full and/or have the histamine reaction? I feel it is wrong so I avoid eating or eat very little

Sounds like modernism

Thank you so much for this!!! The temptations are sometimes so strong that I wonder if it’s a mortal sin though I have no intention of carrying it out.

Near occasion of sin for me its one of the most stressful situations, I acknowledge that I put myself in bad situations, but not with the intention to sin, so I get stress and afraid, and cnfuse, want to overcome scrupulosity but think I am just trying to harden my heart and deny that I have sin.

Thank you Father. I am blessed to be led by grace to your service today.

A good rule of thumb is that if you are afraid that you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, you likely haven’t. It is to spread lies and convince the public that the Holy Spirit and God’s grace comes from a wicked/demonic source. It is to say the exact opposite of the truth, and to then spread it knowingly to the world. The people most susceptible to the unforgivable sin today, are still the same people it was originally referenced to if you know the scripture. They knew that Jesus was performing miracles in the name of God, and they knew he was the messiah, yet they denied him and professed to others that he worked for the devil.

Thank you Father Santa

Amen 🙏 bless you Fr

How can thoughts not be sinful, when we say in the Confiteor that we have sinned in THOUGHT, word, and in deed: Peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo et opere.? "For perverse thoughts separate from God" Wisdom 1:3

I dont think we can comit blaphemy against holy spirit in this world. U coyld when he was here on earth and again when he comes back
