@stepandavydov In the Sacrament of Penance (aka Confession), the penitent lists the sins she has committed since her last confession. The priest speaking in the person of Jesus absolves her. So all those sins are forgiven. The priest, speaking as pastor, assigns her a penance - usually a prayer or a series of prayers - to repair the damage caused by sin. For example, if someone confesses to the sin of despair, the priest might tell her to say the Act of Hope 5xs. Think of it this way: let's say you were in a near fatal car accident and damaged your spinal column. You will never walk again. An expert spinal surgeon heals you. It's a miracle! You can walk, but the surgeon tells you that you must do a certain number of months of rehab to be able to walk with the same strength as before the accident. What a car accident is to your body, a sin is to your soul. Penance is like rehab, only in this case, the Surgeon (Christ) does most of the work there, too!
Good point, I thought it was, as well. The rhyme was written by a nun, it seems? But it actually refers to a real girl who was called Mary who had a pet lamb. And as the lyrics say, would bring it to school. A writer saw this happen when he was journeying and stopped at a town and decided to pen a rhyme. It was later adapted to the tune "Merrily we roll along" and that gave way to the currently popular melody. The origin of the tune is for early childhood education.
Pray the rosary and other prayer cords. In your dreams you will appear to have a weapon. Devils will come to you in disguise with the question why you carry arms.
Question here: so do Catholics believe that you can lose your salvation? Is that something you can work out in purgatory? Or do you just have your time on Earth to be saved?
I highly recommend googling Catholic Answers for better answers, but I'll keep it simple. Yes, Salvation is a gift given to us through faith, but we can still choose to deliberately betray Christ (by 'mortally' sinning which is different from accidental sins. 1 John 5:16) and break our covenant with him, thereby losing our salvation until we repent and have faith again. No, Purgatory is simply the place and process of purifying our souls of all sinful desires and habits before those who are already saved enter Heaven. There is no Sin in Heaven, nor can sin enter it according to Scripture, so this purification must occur in a 'place' which isn't in Heaven. Eastern Christian traditions believe the pain of purgatory is instantaneous, whereas western Christian traditions believe it to be over time and taking 'years', but this isn't Dogma. edit: an insight sometimes forgotten about Mortal Sin and Confession. Under the Old Covenant whenever someone broke the covenant they were considered Unclean and impure, until they confessed their sins to the Priest who would then make a Sin Offering on their behalf at the temple for their forgivingness through Faith. Since Christ is our Pascal Lamb (the Sin Offering), we now can be forgiven without sacrificing an animal but the former steps remain. We still need to have a faithful Priest offer our sins to God with the flesh of the Pascal Lamb who is Christ, and his Flesh is the Eucharist.
No problem. 1. Yes, we can lose our salvation. 2. No, you do not earn your salvation in Purgatory. 3. Yes, the only time in which you can be saved is within your time on Earth and not after death. Catholic.com is really good at explaining these, AKA Catholic Answers. You can google "Salvation Catholic Answers" and you will see detailed responses with the proper citations. As a note, I'm ok answering questions but if it turns into a debate, please move it to @modernpapist. That is my Catholic channel.
Just think of Judas. While he was still with Jesus and the other apostles, he could have said: „I’m saved, nothing can take it away.“ Well, just think of how it ended for him. Salvation isn’t given once and done. Judas is proof.
@ShamrockRagEll Excellent point, even Adam and Eve walked with God but then still sinned. It's not like the Devil goes "oh your God's child? I can't tempt you anymore" He actually steps up his tempting tactics to make things harder. Just gotta keep going to God and keep your eyes on him. Lastly, just because someone starts a path up a mountain doesn't mean they will make it to the top. Gotta follow the trail, read the signs and do what is required to make it up. 😊 God Bless!
That's odd, the Greek Orthodox I visited for months did not have the same set up for their liturgical movements, there was kneeling, standing and sitting. The church also did have pews, with padding, kneelers as well. I understand many do not have pews. Are you a different Church or perhaps a different bishop? My experience was in Michigan.
@@Memewhile321 I wouldn't know (I have never stepped on An Orthodox Church yet due to time constraints). From what I know the Mass normally has everyone standing up unless someone has a disability or can't stand for much time. But I think the Church experience can vary depending on the bishop. When I join the Church I will join an Antioch Church so I don't know much about other ones.
I can switch it up from time to time. I was just thinking of doing some research for alternatives to David. Whether it's free or not is a different question.
Appealing to probability here is a red herring. Thomas Aquinas gives clear answers, don't conflate it with "easy," I suggest going to newadvent.org and reading the Summa.
Read a lot of the summa. I'm not appaling to probability per se. Just saying. Isn't it better to think for yourself than choosing an easy answer just because it is easy?
"How often" is appealing to probability directly. Again, clear does not mean easy. Thinking for yourself here is silly, it's like suggesting to create a new math system because you aren't thinking for yourself when someone explains how algebra works. It's about helping you live a good life, reinventing the wheel here is unnecessary.
All the confession memes were so real
I regularly forget right after confession, lots of embarrassing follow ups to the priests.
@@Memewhile321same or I’ll be thinking is this my 5th or 6th Our Father. Uh oh..
I'm protestant but Catholics are great. Respect for ritual and tradition, correct on social/moral issues, and make funny memes
Respect for the based reasonable take and that pfp. Incredible album
Become Catholic
@@CrusaderTubewow really?
@@WimHoddenbagh-kx9zb yes 🗿
“Why I like Santa now”
As a Catholic convert this is so true 😭
lol I forget my penance too often right after Confession and as a new convert that meme reassured me
This happens to me sometimes too. 😂
Bring a notebook and pen into the confessional.
It also helps to remember sins.
As a curious non-Catholic who learns English, may I ask what a penance is?

2:25 you know you messed up when Santa starts throwing hands
This was so much funnier than I expected. Thanks so much, I don't get to see Catholic humor online much.
Where's your Veil? Made me laugh.
that was wild bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:53 Indian here and i approve this
We have a parish near where I live, in the USA, that is of the Syro-Malabar rite.
Much love for our Eastern Rite family.
Nice!!
Lots of love to you too
Syro Malabarite here too!😂
@@Memewhile321 Thanks dude.
These are really good and most of them are better than the ones in my meme compilation 😂. Keep up the good work. 🙏🏽
Little lamb one destroyed me
Same here. I was busting up.

This is so wholesome catholic. Love it
3:34 Honestly, I always thought that was what the song was about :O
2:54 Syro-Malabar mentioned. Atleast you know we exist.
I know more than that.
I hope the issue with the priest/liturgical situation is resolved soon.
Syro-Malabar 💪
I love our brothers and sisters in the other unified rites. One Faith, One Lord, One Baptism!
as an orthodox i find this very funny
0:54 is relatable, nice meme
Incredibly relatable.
Thanks for posting from Canada 🇨🇦
That moment when I realise that I've forgotten to bring my veil to Church, its humiliating XD

Biden meme was spot on!
I love this😭😭
That one priest forgets its ordinary time 😅
Funny as a protestant lol
Glad you're here.
@@Memewhile321 Thanks. I feel like Catholics mistake protestants for lukewarm Christians
Many of us understand many of you are serious about it, but given Protestants are not monolithic, the lukewarm viewpoint applies to some sects.
I was raised Southern/ Primitive Baptist @@kadenhays2331definitely not lukewarm.
The angel ones are SOOOO FUNNY❣️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😇
to realistic
Me trying to remember what the penance was. 😅
2:35 The Orthodox mass is longer than the Catholic mass.
Depends on which one.
Divine liturgy and TLM are about the same.
@@Memewhile321 For us Orthodox it also feels longer since most of us don't have pews, we just stand for all of it (minus the homily)
That's odd, the Greek Orthodox I visited for months did not have the same set up for their liturgical movements, there was kneeling, standing and sitting. The church also did have pews, with padding, kneelers as well. I understand many do not have pews.

1:11 when an answer is called "clear", people usually mean easy. But how often is an easy answer actually the correct one?
Appealing to probability here is a red herring.
