- Trust can be a difficult thing for us to open our hearts to, especially when we’ve been hurt by those closest to us. But one person that will never let us down is God. He’s the best person we can let into our lives, and he proves that by pursuing our hearts daily.
Today, Fr. Mark-Mary and Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V. explain what it really means to trust in God, and how we can grow in relationship with him daily.
You can find out more about Sr. Faustina's book here: stpaulcenter.com/trust10/

Trust is the one thing I'm having the most trouble with on my journey back. Every bit of inspiration helps. Beautifully stated.
Hello, I’m in the process of becoming Catholic but I have a hard time at loving myself for what I have done in the past and how I constantly battle a addiction with pornography, lust. I truly feel like I let myself down everyday and I have a amaze new girlfriend who brought me to where I am. I feel like I betray her everytime I end up caving in etc etc. I’m just new to this and have no friends to express how I feel inside so I just ask for prayers, and strength. I feel like the devil is trying to make me not change and I’m just scared I can’t do it because I truly want to start a new life with Jesus. (Thank you for all the comments and advice! The anxiety was taking over yesterday but today my strength is different and I’m ready to take this day by day, praying for y’all just like y’all are praying for me ❤️)
Don’t be scared God is behind you to catch you when you fall everything will be ok :>
Greeting from Ireland. If you get a chance check out, Michel Rodrigue, his talk on knock in Mayo Ireland 🇮🇪.
It certainly got me thinking.
Congratulations to you and your girlfriend. I suggest you look for Matt Fradd of Pints with Aquinas, and also Dr. Bob Schuchts, their talks and books can help you heal the wounds and find your way out of that path. God bless!
One of the things that help me with my porn addiction was the Three Hail Marys devotion. You wake up and say three Hail Marys, and when you go to bed you say another three. I can say that I've felt Our Lady help drive the temptations out of me over the weeke I stayed devoted to it. I still say it, and now when I get a wayward thought I am able to quickly squash it and go nowhere near the occasion of sin. Consider praying this to help you, friend.
Hey brother! I’ll be praying for you. If you haven’t already, surrender your battles of lust, addiction, and not loving yourself to Jesus. Invite Him into your heart and battles. Surrender your heart and whole life to Jesus. You can’t do it on your own so you don’t have to try to fight the battles on your own. Recognize your brokenness and your need for God’s grace. Remember it’s a little by little day by day process, with God’s grace and help, where HE transforms you into who He called you to be. Yes, avoid sin as much as you can, but when you fall, just run to Him, ask for Mercy, and rejoice that he will ALWAYS give it and never get tired of giving it. Keep praying, talking to our Father. Ask Him for good Catholic friends, who draw you nearer to Jesus, to help with what’s going on. Be honest with God about what’s happening in your life and in your heart. He already knows and still and will always love you, so you don’t have to be afraid to tell Him. He sees your effort and knows your heart. He will, and WANTS to, help. So let Him. Jesus loves you unconditionally and infinitely more than you can ever imagine.
Hey guys I am from Lebanon someone and his team tried to steal my house at night yesterday please pray for us and my family.
Keep praying the rosary, and trust.
Praying ❤
Social media tools have done a lot of harm in the world but without TH-cam we would never have been so blessed with messages and like these and channels like Ascension. Thank God for making the crooked straight.
I explained to my children
Remember when you wer scared to float on water, but you did it!
Trust in GOD
Is the same!
Pretent your about to float &
Our GOD is right thr holding you!
This is an awesome depiction, and actually alludes to Jesus reference to The Kingdom being made up of little children (and adults that respond to God like little children).
You are a beautifully Blessed Daughter of God who's words and insight are such a light and enlightenment. Thank You for your continued YES to our Lord and for allowing the 1st opening of your heart to let Him in and the 2nd to share it with His sheep. God Bless you always and Your very sweet and pure ❤ heart

I love the Surrender Novena. It helps with trust. It takes awhile to trust Jesus but we need to know Him first.
So whatever happens even if it is suffering is scary. But to know that the God who loves us and will take care of us helps us more than we know. But fear can stop us from trusting that even in pain He is always there. The Surrender Novena is the prayer that is the best for me.🙏
Surrender novena?
Amongst the most engaging and inspirational preaching I've ever heard - delivered with gentleness and Grace. VIVA CRISTO REY!
My daily prayer: Lord, behold your humble servant, I am prepared to take any sufferings that you need me to face. Please allow the outcome of my day be in accordance with thy will and that the outcome be in your honor and glory.
Wow, Fr. MM is such a great listener.
(Pretty easy when Sister is on 🔥)
Good morning 🌷, pray for me father & sister , so I can devote my self to Mary pure heart & help my family and society.
My name is suhail & I live in Dubai 💗💗💗
Something I've been learning my whole life. I don't trust easy so this is difficult for me. Its not thst I don't believe it's that it's incredibly hard to put trust in God not knowing the outcome. I have trust issues to begin with.
Also love. God IS love I've told God though that not everyone has experienced love so it can be difficult for us to understand especially when we live in a loveless world!
With all the horrible things going on in the US and all over the world, I’m scared for my family, friends and myself. I KNOW God is watching over us and we are supposed to trust HIM through all this. But I’m scared of things to come and I feel my trust is weak because I know bad things happen to good people. The Bible tells us things will get bad before He comes.
Trust: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
thank you for this reminder of God’s love. When your own family has always betrayed you, it can be very challenging to trust anyone, but I know the Lord is the measure of the love available for me, not those who are unable to love me
I'm reading Sr. Faustina's book right now and my heart is so full. She presents this littleness and simplicity in the way she talks that makes it relatable yet it packs a punch.
What's the name of the book please?
The book is 'Jesus I trust in You' , Emmaus Road Publishing
Yes Yes well said!
This sister has such a beautiful, soothing voice. What a gift.
The Litany of Trust is beautiful, thank you So much Sister for collaborating on this Litany of trust. May God Bless You and everything You, and fellow Sisters of Renewal. Amén 🙏🏻
Dear Fr. Mark-Mary, what a wonderful food to the soul. Jesus Love You, Mama Mary Loves you and me too. Grazie Mille Padre.
Jesus I trust in you❤
Thank father and sister to show us Jesus love us🙏🥺🥰
Awesome. Exactly what I need for today. I need keep going. Trust gody, His ways, His time
Beautifully said! God bless you both!!
Where Trust is there cant be doubts. Thank you for your good work.

Praying for nuns and priests and clergy.
This is beautiful. How does one trust when so much bad has happened in all situations in their lives? Specifically people letting them down. I don’t think God intends that but people do have free will & sometimes can cause pain
Thank you for this, very useful and so well articulated. 🙏🏻
Thank you, loves... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video💫💫 God bless both of you and your communities. Please remember me, my family, my friends and my enemies in your prayers.
Absolutely beautiful. You are right where God wants you doing amazing work. Thank you
Very touching words,Sister.Thank you and God bless!
Amen 🙏❤ Jesus I trust in you beautiful sister god bless you
Thank you ❤️🙏🙂☘️
God I Trust In Yo! Amen.
Please more of the sisters of life!!!
Prophet Solomon, intercede for me. Thank you.
God knows you and loves you. Your not the first person to stumble and you will not be the last. Look it all started with Adam and Eve and continues today.....AND God still loves us. You have to forgive your self because that is the Devil holding you back from victory.
Deuteronomy 20:4
“For the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.
I pray for your journey with God and that your relationship with Him will help you to see that He loves you even in your brokenness, AMEN? It overwhelms me sometimes to the point of tears that God loves us even though we are broken. I will be praying for you.
Amen❤🙏
Jesus, I trust in You!

Amen
Very nice 👍
Acceptance always. Whether you caused the situation or imposed on you, or both. Good or bad in your sight because everything is good for God. Even darkness for Him is light. Ask God for a heart of gratitude. Thank Him, sometimes with teeth-grinding will, declaring He knows what is best for you and works everything together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Do this sincerely without attempting to manipulate. You’ll see the miracles from God himself flowing from His beautiful and compassionate heart. Speaking from experience guys. My gosh it was extremely painful (did not know that a heart can break in million different pieces) and then Jesus lifted me out of the mire and put a new song in my mouth. I know it was His doing… I cleared my own heart of sins through confession. I did not have anger but compassion and prayed for forgiveness and blessings for those who caused my misery. Only God’s spirit can do that. God be with us all - always!❤
Only faith that has been tested can be trusted.💯
When I contemplate my trust in Jesus, I contemplate something that is subject to human frailty, weakness, and error; something that may be swayed by a trivial mood, or a sin that is getting in the way of trusting Him.
I should, rather, focus on Jesus' Trust in us. From our conception in our mother's womb, He trusted us to life, we being His creation, formed in His image and likeness. He trusts us in the Sacraments, these blessed occasions in which we share in His Grace. He trusts us in our prayers to Him through faith. Yes, we may, as sinners, miss the mark. Even then He trusts us to reconcile with Him through Penance.
His Trust is complete, perfect and absolute. It helps to focus on that if our trust in Him wavers, even for a moment.
It is a beautiful concept to completely trust in Jesus, but I have no idea what she's talking about. Long explanation of something- but not anything I understood. Sad.
I was wondering if I was the only one feeling this way.
Hi there! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
VIVA CRISTO REY
I cried every night when I was teased 6 7 8 th grade in catholic school teachers knew no one helped me. I am miserable now no children I wanted children my parental took me for granted. No one loves me. If I am wrong let me know?
God your creator loves you. I am sorry to hear about the bad experiences of your past. I was teased and bullied at school at that age also and I know the damage it does. But Jesus tells me something different about myself.
Hey, you are loved. You are loved by Jesus who thought about you in His passion so you can have eternal life with Him. This life is so difficult with so many challenges, it’s not easy but God is always with us, have hope and let’s continue to walk this life beside Him ❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How fun to be randomly scrolling and see Sister Faustina!! Hope you are well, Sister 💜
💞
Does God have mercy on me and my puppy?
💫🌻🌹💫
I'm truly honest....
I don't know how....
I try
Try praying the rosary. Our Blessed Mother Mary will help you with trusting Jesus through the prayer of rosary. Jesus is Her Son so as a mother She will do anything in her power to bring you closer to him, help you with any area you struggle with. Entrust yourself into the hands of Mary, ask her for help and she will lead you. She is the most powerfull intercessor before the throne of God. There is no prayer that wouldn't be answered through Her intercession. I'm talking from experience. Pray the Litany of Trust. Something always happens when we pray eventhough we may not be aware of it. Ask other people to pray for you. The more people pray the more graces we receive through their prayers.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Where do you get the litany
Lone person who disliked needs to trust more 😉
Does God want me to suffer in pain by leaving me to take the devil’s negative advice?
Hi
I have issues to trust God
Please pray for me.
❤
You will be in my prayers my friend remember prayer is the most important thing if you need somthing pray for it and he will give but not always immediately sometimes we have to wait for good things
These two seem like they could be related.
I become confused when people discuss God's love metaphorically, symbolically, or abstractedly. I have no clue how to trust God. I am the type of Catholic who *tries* to follow the rules. I do not know how to experience the Lord's love. I am honestly frightened by deep spirituality. Sometimes I envy the atheists who can just worry about what happens today and they think death is the ultimate. They have developed their own moral codes. Is anyone else afraid of letting God in? I speak the Lord through my journals. It is mostly me whining about something. I never ask for His help because I fear the answer.
If God asks you to do something, He'll give you the grace to do it. Bible says "Trust God and lean not on your own understanding." 43 years ago, I was 24 years old and in a protestant church. I didn't have the grace of Catholicism, and the man I loved died without knowing the Lord. I wish I had asked God's help.
I agree with Jb. Visit the Blessed Sacrament. Usually on Thursdays, parishes have a Holy Hour where you can spend time with the Lord, some even have Perpetual Adoration. Check your local parishes. Another thing you can do is speak to your priest or the priests in your area. Find one that you feel comfortable opening up and asking these questions.
Always ask for God’s help. He is the only one who NEVER fails us. Remember the parable of the Prodigal Son. When the prodigal son was returning home after squandering his inheritance, the Father **ran towards him and hugged him** before the son had even reached the house. The father went out every day waiting for his son’s return. If we are looking for God, He is looking for us all the more.
Don’t forget the Scriptures: “Where God guides, he provides.”
@@tinat2967 I feel so stupid and deluded for believing in God. I know plenty of happy, healthy, thriving people who do not care for God or religion or who live their lives committing "sins" that the church strongly condemns. Some people do not believe in sin and have found greater happiness and relief leaving religion. It seems like faith is a cross and a sign of weakness. I should be able to be a great person and have a healthy conscience without believing in anything, going to church, or needing to confess.
@@IONov990 I don't know if you partake in the sacrament of confession regularly... attend mass every Sunday (at least) or if you do quiet prayer time and mental prayer through out your day or read the holy bible and pray the rosary etc but having faith and living according to the word of God... is not weak. It is not! Far from it. No human is perfect, we are broken people, everyone has some kind of suffering wether we see it or not. God gives us strength and the courage to go on! Sometimes people feel tempted to abandon the faith or just be luke warm or ashamed of it because of the world, depression, fear, a dark night of the soul ...one is free to do what they want, if one wants to turn their back on God they can. If one wants to live in mortal sin day in and day out , that's their choice but at the hour of death let us pray one encounters the mercy of God and not the evil one who was sooo happy by the unrepentant , sinful lives one lives so he can take their souls. Living so free and careless without a care of the after life or the state of ones soul is very dangerous. One has to discipline themselves to prayer and surround oneself with community , iron sharpens iron. Let us pray for one another, Saint Michael protect us from all evil! In my opinion reading the Bible helps rid one of the thoughts that those who are far from God are better off , happier and stronger than those who are faithful to the Lord. They are not.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@user-is3xp9og8v ok
Does God want me to suffer by allowing me to make idiotic decisions for myself and my puppy? Why does God give me a narcissistic father who lies and manipulative behavior has deeply hurt me? The devil took over my mind, body and spirit so that I didn’t protect myself and my puppy! Does God care when I take the wrong path?
Pure sophistry.
They're not there to convince anyone or to entertain
Sister, Pls speak slow for emphasis of certain words . PAUSE as u speak before a MAIN point. PUT IN relevant images to nreak minitony. Practice befor presenting. SUMMARISE MAIN IDEAS at end of video. Tq.
Didn’t “actually” answer the question at all. That usually means they don’t know the answer either. 😏🤨
Does God let me make poor decisions in life to show me what a gullible fool I am?
God may be letting you make those choices to show you that he alone is God. We sure do love to play God though. Turn to him for guidance. If you you are sincere, I believe he will answer you
