I’m off the fence. Going all in with resolve!! Also started the St. Bridget 12 years novena today for my family so that I can leave them in Gods hands and work on myself. My prayer has changed from “convert them” to “make me the kind of person that draws people to Jesus Christ”. My heart is changing. Thank you for your help.
Beautiful!!! The shortcut to becoming that person is to just invite Jesus to do it for you. Ask Him to live His own life within your body and soul. Ask His Heart to replace your own, ask that His eyes would gaze through your eyes, that His thoughts would flow through your mind, that His lips would speak through every word you say. If you will continually invite Him and listen to the little faults He points out to you and surrender those to Him, then very soon you will be the kind of person who draws everyone to love Jesus, because they will be drawn to His very presence veiled within you.
Awesome! Don’t forget to mark the date as a recurring item in your phone calendar, and write it somewhere. The Catholic Minute YoiTube channel has a beautiful version.
I noticed a lot of us have had encounters with Jesus in the past few years. He is really up to something. Building up his soldiers who will help save others.
Disposition of the heart is literally everything! The whole battle is fought and graces are won (well received) by the slightest movements of the heart! It's amazing...All God wants is our heart.
Faustina, I loved your video on teaching us about God's Will, with Adam and Eve and the explanation about what happened....I am going to be 56 years old and your video taught me so much! I loved it! I'm grateful for your videos! Please keep making them, God bless you ❤️
We are on the verge of the most profound awakening of God’s people that the world has ever seen. The forces of darkness loom on the horizon but God is gathering up a great army that will engage in the most decisive spiritual battle of all time. Our Lord Jesus is coming soon and the world will finally realize the greatness and healing mercy of God’s love.
Faustina, I've never heard of you until this morning when you popped up in my TH-cam feed with this video. The title of your video isn't what caught my attention either. I'll tell you what did. After walking my daughters to the door of our parish school, I started wondering over to the church to pray for a short time which is normal for me to do some days. Today, something happened that doesn't happen often these days, but I became familiar with in my first years as a Christian. Simply put, a familiar sense came to me that I attribute to my guardian angel trying to show me something. I was led over to a wall that had a picture of all the religious vocations and seminarians from our archdiocese. I knew from experience that one particular word would stand out. That first and only word my eyes fell to was "Faustina." I noted that the "St." part of the parish name didn't seem important, but all the context I had at the time was getting back to my growing my devotion to the Divine Mercy and going through St. Faustina's diary. The second thing that was pointed out to me as my steps were guided into the church was the twelfth station of the cross which is when Jesus dies with the Blessed Mother, St. John, and others staying close to Him. At the time, I wasn't sure what to take from this. I began reconsecrating myself to Jesus through Mary just a few days ago. So I thought it was encouragement to be more devoted to the Rosary. Though, again, I wasn't sure yet as when these things happen to me, I've learned that the purpose and meaning comes later and my initial impressions are like a child trying to figure out what their parent is doing for them before the parent is ready to tell them what the surprise really is. Next, which I had no guesses for, the confessional was pointed out. I had no context for what this could mean since I confessed two days ago and do well enough to examine my soul and confess even the roots of sin. Finally, the tabernacle where our Lord dwells in the flesh. At the time it was kind of an obvious "well yeah, Jesus is everything" meaning for myself. As I walk out I visit some statues on my own accord and thank those saints in heaven for hearing and answer my prayers and helping me here on earth so frequently, which is my norm. I drove home reflecting on how much I've changed in the last ten years since discovering the Catholic faith. Even still, I realized that me holding onto something, knowingly or not, is holding back what God wants to do in my life. So I get home, log onto my computer, and do my normal thing of checking TH-cam some before working. I scroll down some and see a video that just doesn't seem to fit. I have no clue what it is. I hover over it with my mouse trying to figure out why on earth this video is on my feed. The transcript eventually got to where you mention your name, "Faustina." At this point, I click on it, still not sure if it's a Catholic video or if you just happened to be some gal that had Catholic parents that named you Faustina or something else. Well, thanks be to God, it turns out I'm not some crazy guy wondering about my Church looking at seemingly random things. Here you are, Faustina, exploding from the heart about the good news that Jesus has the power to truly set us free from ALL attachment to sin. If we believe that Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, who died for our sins on the cross, why do we so often hold onto our sins while telling Him we are sorry and asking Him to forgive us? Give him that which He came to take away! Without Him, we can do nothing. If we put all our efforts into stopping our sins on our own hoping that we will one day feel good enough about who we are to finally open up and be vulnerable to God, we will neither be free nor joyful nor peaceful. We won't be set free. We wouldn't relate to our doctors this way if we were diagnosed with cancer. If we had a glimmer of hope in living, we'd say whatever it takes Doc, let's do it. With our Lord, we don't even have to set an appointment. Jesus, be my healer, save me. I give you my sins. Make me whole. Take this heart of stone and give me a new heart of flesh. Make me a new so that I may live totally for you.
*"Let go of sin and jump all the way in for God!"* Thank you for showing me that I *MUST* do this, and especially that I *CAN* do this! Your excitement is totally contagious ! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
0:13 most infinitely, this is the most exciting and amazing time to be alive. We were literally created, and born into these times for each of us has a purpose in Christ, who strengthens us in our weakness.
Amen, amen, amen and AMEN! Intentional. Firm. Purpose. Amendment. Desire. Sainthood. Another prophetic NOW word! I am also SO glad the Lord allowed me to cross paths with you in this very short time before you enter the convent!
Yes, all we need is a firm resolution and a continuous strong desire not to sin. To quickly turn back to Jesus when we do and tell Him how sorry we are and ask for His help to avoid sin in all its form. We will find we are sinning less and less. Jesus is very , very pleased as we strive to live this way. We are giving Jesus permission to work in our life with our firm commitment and strong desire not to. Actually its Jesus who does everything .We put in our 1% and He does the rest.
If God can heal the paralyzed, feed 5000 with five loaves and two fish, walk on water and ressurect himself after being crucified, well then I trust that through His Grace, it's possible he could turn this wretched sinner to a Saint one day who never sins. It seems impossible to me, just as all His other recorded miracles are, but thankfully I trust Our God can do the impossible. I ask Our Blessed Mother to give me sips of the Divine Will until one day I may imitate living within it as she did so gracefully.
@@faustinagorham1891 I had been inspired to look into the Book of Heaven after one of your recent videos posted on Mother and Refuge (the one with the orange haha). I watched your video and something deeply clicked for me and I felt called to follow that. I’m listening to audiobooks of the book of heaven only on volume 2 and also doing a Noveena this May to Our Lady based on Luisas writings on the divine will. Thanks for being you and for also being in his Divine Will, since what came from your video was a good thing, only God can be given the Glory of that which is good. I had an experience around 10 years ago which somehow I think I may have through grace been shown what it can be like to live in the Divine Will. This was before I was even catholic, but searching out that which God granted me to taste, eventually lead me to being baptised with my family of 5 last December 23rd, and then as I continue forward I now rest where Our Lady has brought me which is learning and listening to Luisas writings. Sorry for the long post but just wanted you to feel how nothing you do is small, as we are all part of the Body of Christ, sharing what you learn as you grow helps us all and it certainly helped me. God bless you Faustina and good luck as your journey takes on a new form, I believe shortly?
I don’t know how your content showed up in my feed but that’s irrelevant. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit and rambling thoughts in the wonderful mercy of confession and a firm commitment to go and sin no more. I am sharing this with my men’s retreat team so they can have hope in our youth and that their prayers are being heard. All too often the elders in the church get worn down by the world and the evil one yet it is an exciting time to be alive and the battle is won for we have Victory in Our Lord Jesus! Amen sister
Nothing is impossible with our lord if you ask him to help you he will, because I was living in mortal sin and from time to time I kept falling in the same sins, now by the grace of the lord I stoped completely I have no more sexual desires anymore but it doesn’t mean that I’m holly no, because I’m not perfect only Jesus is perfect and we all need to be fed by his body and blood and the more we are in prayer and receive him often he makes us strong solid even tho we commit other sins by criticizing or judging others or maybe showing lack of compassion towards others etc. perfect we can’t never be in our own but we can be with Jesus through his body and blood in the Eucharist this is the only way we can be perfect by having the spirit of the lord in us, thanks be to god for giving us himself to us to redeem our sins 🙏😊❤️🇺🇸🇵🇹
If we firmly resolve to, we can cease to criticize and judge others as well :) And the more often we invite Jesus to truly live His own life in us, to see others with our own eyes the way He sees them, to replace the vacant hearts in our chest with His own Heart... well then the more His own love for others will become our identity and we will naturally experience overwhelming compassion for everyone because He has fused His own life with ours.
Purgatory is never something that I've dreaded, quite the contrary. When I'm not in an angry phase (with God), I recognize how purgatory is a powerful, perhaps the ultimate expression of God's mercy for wretched sinners. I see it as a cleansing of the soul, I see it as a therapy, a sort of divine therapy where each day frees you from what has afflicted/plagued/weighed you down in life. I've had trouble with hope, even as a young boy, the thought of not having to deal with that, that alone would be cause for great relief and exuberant joy! Happy Feast day, St. Joseph.
We can go through purgatory on earth if we want to :) I have begun to experience that cleansing of the soul and it has been painful, though incredibly freeing, just like you imagine it would be.
Good work. You're very in tune with all the right things needed now in this time. Hopefully these specific messages really spread. Detachment, being all in, living in the Divine Will, surrender, trust etc.
@@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829 Why I'm here warning. Salvation is a breath away but pride will keep many from it. People cry pray for me! As if God isn't already working in their lives. My family saw me survive miracle after miracle yet I'm the only Christian in my family. They ALL had numerous chances. Can't make someone believe. Pride will take MANY!
Let me guess, you are just one of the few that does. All these cults believe they are the only ones with absolute truth, pick one. Eckankar, Hinduism, Morpheus, Islam, Buddhism, Phantasos, Phobetor, Jesus, Pentecostalism, Evangelicalism, Christian nationalism, MAGA, Titania, Hypnos, Bes, Tutu, Asteria, Melinoe, Caer Ibormeith, Tenebria, etc.
@@peertopeertherapy3720 What's most important is how you are convicted and this is how you act proving the seriousness of it. It's not hard to know THEM. It's not hard to be saved. ALL had numerous chances.
Wow! You said it all perfectly, Faustina! Heart perfect ❤ these are the best saint-making times! And yes a firm resolution is absolutely essential. Also, love your Esther 4:14 quote at the end🌹☘️
Well said! Thank you. Difficult deep message to communicate - wanting only what God wants, trading the temporal for the eternal, sacrificing the self will completely to be filled with the Divine Will!
In those days the flood gates of graces will open wide for the world, and for those choosen to become saints in this world. Greater than those before to overcome the whiles of the satan, to shine a light on those who dwell in darkness in the shadow of death and to guide our feet in the ways of peace.
Great message!!! Thanks! We can’t have a foot in both boats. A good thing is to beg God to sin as he sees it rather than as it’s presented in temptation.
Thank you for this video, it was a message I definitely needed reminded of. Also, thank you for your enthusiasm, it was very refreshing. May God bless you and keep you close.
Faustina, thank you so much for your positivity. It's hard to be excited for these times when I feel like my life has completely changed the world is a such a dark place everything around me seems so dark. It's not the way I wanted to live my life. Some days I try to be positive but others days it's so hard when there's so much going on.
The light of Christ is enough to light up this world a million times over. If you make room for Christ in your heart by getting rid of all the distractions, then He will overwhelm all the darkness around you effortlessly and you won't feel so beaten down by everything because you will be above it all. You will learn to see suffering as joy, because He is the one who suffered first and when we suffer for love of Him it consoles His heart. It takes time and attention to empty our hearts and make complete space for God so we can get to this place, and the devil wants you to think you don't have time because of all the distractions you have to worry about, and all the other people you have to fix. If I were to try to be positive without Jesus Himself being the beating of my heart, all my efforts to be positive would ultimately be like trying to build a pretty house on sand. But this life of freedom with Him is so much more than positive, it is overflowing rivers of genuine invincible peace and joy that cannot be shaken even by the most violent of storms. This is what He wants to give to everyone, only very few want to lose their attachments and give Him ALL the space in their heart. He is speaking to you though. He wants this for you.
@@faustinagorham1891 Wow. You put it so beautifully. I hear what you're saying 100%. I know that it is truth in my heart, like it's there but I can't hold on to it. It's definitely the attachments to this world. I've slowly let go of so many things, but there are some things that are hard to let go of. I know I need to pray for the grace for God to help me detach. One thing that really stops me, what makes me think twice is what I'm going to say to people when I'm trying to evangelize. It's hard to find the right words and I always feel judgment or persecution. But I know that I am blessed when I have been persecuted in Jesus name. Thank you for your words of wisdom and Hope. So many people need to hear your message. God bless you Faustina. ♥️
@@teacherreads1076 I relate to that social anxiety, fear of evangelism alot. But I found that once I stopped trying to evangelize and just focused on Jesus within me and letting Him transform me... I don’t know I never think about it. I often don’t say things to people and sometimes wonder if maybe I should. But then sometimes it just happens naturally and I actually think it’s better that way because it’s really true that when Jesus is really in you, they notice and don’t need you to say words. Sometimes words and preaching turn people off. Just loving people and having relationships with them is evangelizing... But every once in a while I am moved to say something, but it feels natural and simple. We don’t need to turn into street preachers. I actually think it’s better if we don’t. So don’t worry about evangelizing, it probably won’t look like what you are afraid it will look like.
999-trillion oceans of despair and grief. Rage rapes me. I feel suicidal. I don't breathe. PTSD flashbacks torture and torment me. I am submerged in frozen darkness. My soul silently wails. I am filled with anguish and terror. I can only pray to die. I don't know what else to pray for. All I feel is misery and desperation. Grief eats my soul. I cannot, do not breathe. He left me. Discarded me like last week's garbage. The despair is truly unbearable. SO AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF, I MUST REMEMEBER: If I were to tell the absolute truth in this situation and I wasn't afraid to, what would it be? Express yourself!
This is the raw and honest expression of a heart drowning in pain It’s beautiful. You are an artist. I hurt for you, you’re not dong well. I can only imagine how much God hurts for you. And He has great plans for you. Don’t you know that He is closest to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit? It sounds like you are a person who would understand His agony more than most. It sounds like you are the kind of person He would be able to confide in and rest in as a shelter from the agony the world gives to Him. He is utterly here for you. Even if it feels like nothing but darkness when you speak to Him. His heart was also one that felt this crushing desolation and abandonment. He isn’t finished with you. The more suffering a soul experiences, the more they are able to be a compassionate shelter for others and the more capable they will be to contain deeper wellsprings of joy in the next life.
Sister, I am really tired of this world. I find no joy on fighting everyday to fulfill responsibilities, with lots of barriers and no time to even breath. I thought my purpose was to have a family, kids in His name. I truly wanted it, but I haven't got the opportunity. Seeing you makes me happy, you look so at peace and happy too. I wish I could have that as well, but I am like a wounded animal, by my past and the roughness and brutality of life. Fortunately, I have Christ, to whom I pray everyday and try not to fail, for I love Him and would give my life for His Name. But I am far from perfect, full of mistakes and insecurities. Sorry for being so open, and thanks for reading. I pray for you to continue to be happy in your journey and God bless you.
Anyone would feel purposeless and beaten down if they didn’t have the time to breathe. If at all possible try to carve out significant time for silence with God, rest and recreation. Your deepest purpose in life is to be loved by Him and to return the love you receive. But if you don’t have the time and space to experience that love and to hear Him whisper the designs He has put upon your life into the depth of your heart, you are always going to feel buried and lost. The devil wants us to think we don’t have time to rest and if we aren’t intentional about it we will become slaves of productivity without ever experiencing purpose. I don’t know your situation. Perhaps it’s impossible to get out of. If this is the case, then even our suffering and exhaustion can have purpose. Invite Jesus to work alongside you. He can transform your little actions into building blocks of the future Kingdom and beacons of grace for others.
I have no doubts that He has great plans for you! He often takes the most wounded and broken ones and transforms them into the most beautiful saints! That is His specialty.
@@faustinagorham1891 Thank you Sister. Now I use the time I have to pray in church. He alleviates my heart with his words and with what I need there, it's incredible. Our pope said that the time we pray is not a waste of time, and as you say, it's the devil who wants us away from Him. I truly appreciate your message, Jesus really did well choosing you. I pray for you, again, Faustina.
Amen, to all said. Lord allow never to be separated from you. Few years back, with Gods Mercy,I live in the world and I am not worldly. Glory be to God and God bless you, sweet friend Faustian, for you r a true blessing to many. 🙏🥰☘️❤️🌷✝️
Go girl!! Praying for you from Ireland 🇮🇪....Thank you for sharing from your heart...with you in spirit! Pray for our country please! God Bless you!!!❤
You are absolutely right. When I had my first encounter with God, I believed in Him 100% and had no desire to sin no more. But over time, I let myself be deceived in moments of weakness and have fallen back into my old habbits. I am conciously delaying my freedom from them, as they have surrounded me with more temptations and obstactles that I have to deal with. I know I am strong enough to say no, but I dont want to, and its really sad. I trust God that I will in time.
You can do it! If you need a sign to stop putting it off, this is it! Don’t even wait until tomorrow. Today may be the only day you have. We are on the verge of World War 3 breaking out. Don’t put off being a saint. How sad would it be if you only had one more year left and you didn’t make that choice today? It’s a lie that it won’t be fun to get off the fence. The overflowing peace and joy is real!!! You can only catch small glimmers of it if you stay on the fence.
I’ve been praying the rosary and it is very powerful. It wasn’t till recently that I actually begin to hear denying myself got it stronger as I continue to pray the rosary and I know exactly what you’re talking about. You’re saying you don’t want to sin anymore It’s a feeling I can’t explain and I know yesterday I went to confession, and I also felt this joy. It was unexplainable, but I felt almost as if I was a kid, and I had this smile from ear to ear and everyone that seen me walking out of there was kind of giving me a look like what happened to him
Amazing! I’ve been reflecting on this same idea - that we are destined to be nagged by repeated sins in perpetuity. False! Virtue friends. When you feel it from someone else you just know. And to live it always and everywhere is worth giving up every stupid attachment to possess and give to the world. John 14:12-14: Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Thank you. Wondering if you might do a video or just comment to me on here what kind of Catholic family traditions you grew up with and what your family’s prayer life is like. Like if you guys do family rosary or confessions monthly, etc. I’m just a new mom, convert since 2018. I see you are on fire as a young 20 ish yr old, seeing how I can build my babies up to be on fire for the Kingdom since I didn’t grow up Catholic. It’s ok if you dont or don’t have time, I was just curious if you would suggest family ideas. Thank you God Bless
I would definitely suggest family rosary, that is super powerful. Honestly I think something that stuck with me most was that my dad would show us videos about why we believe what we believe. Apologetics type stuff and scientific proof of Christianity, Creation vs Evolution and Eucharistic miracles as well as miracles of the saints.
I'm struggling with the 1%, but I understand what you're saying, God is really using you to help people with the confusion in these times, and yes I confess the same thing over and over, which is embarrassing and has been leading me into despair, so instead of going weekly I'm now hoping that somehow the promise of the first 5 Saturdays devotion will save my soul at the end of my life
I believe God led you to this message for a reason :) He will help you with the 1% Just ask Him every single day to detach that 1% from sin and attach it to Him. Mama Mary will get it done. Pray the rosary every day with this specific intention in mind. I promise you can do it. God doesn’t want you to go to purgatory, He wants you a saint.
Thank you Faustina! I think a lot of us just don’t know how. I want to be part of God’s army! I want detach from my sin! I want to be all in for Him! The way that you explain it helps to see it is possible. God bless!
3:58 So much of my prayer, recently, has been a confession not only of my sin, but of my desire for that sin… prayer to not have the sin removed, but to have the desire for that sin removed. We can seek forgiveness for our sin till our death, but if we do not confess & repent of our desire of that sin, we will regularly and perpetually fall back into it. Might this be the difference between the remnant & the lukewarm? The difference between the narrow path and the wide? Idk, I’m asking.
You are so cool. I hope i havent perpetuated that myth by telling people we'll always be sinners. What i meant is that our identity compared to Christ is "sinner". But it is possible to root out all major sins. And ill give my testimony not for my benefit but to encourage others. Ive been pretty much clean of all sexual sins for over 10 years. Its not impossible. It takes serious prayer. So stay prayed up!
Oh Faustina your youthful zeal is wonderful and yes you were making alot of sense. Your shirt is very cool, were did you purchase it? My birthday is coming up this week.
I grew up Catholic and my spiritual life was all over the place. Sometimes I was on fire for Jesus and other times I was just going through the motions. Several years ago I had an epiphany. It resulted in deconstructing my faith and I ended up leaving the church. But it also resulted in a resolve to “sin no more” I view sin differently these days but that resolve is more strong than it’s ever been. My life has completely changed since then. I don’t gossip, I don’t wallow in drama like I used to, and the pride I had is all but gone. I would make a better Catholic today than I when I was going to church every Sunday. The resolve to be a saint like person is there though. I want to leave this world better than I came into it.
Come back to the Catholic Church where you can receive the Sacraments which will give you greater grace in your life. But kudos for turning your life around.
Without the word purgatory, this was an evangelical speech of a true believer in Jesus Christ. Stay in HIM, sister. Btw, if my english is maybe a bit different? I am from Germany.
Your English was perfect! I have a question though. What do you think would happen to a soul who loves Jesus, but whose heart is still somewhat attached to themselves and to the world or sins when they die? Would their souls really be ready to enter the presence of God?
Amazing things are happening. Wanted to tell you that I have faith that your prayers and others prayers are creating wonderful things happening. I’m still off the fence. All in. He has been helping me detach. Telling me what to do. I asked Him what he would have me do for Him while driving. When I got to my office the phone rang and it was my church calling me to ask me to be an 8th grade CCD teacher only 15 minutes later! Very unusual. Anyway I know you are going to be entering the convent soon and when I think of you, I will pray for you and I thank you for your prayers that I prepare a teenage army for God!!. God bless you!
Please pray fir me. I have been praying fir years to have a close relationship with my Lord and i no longer want to sin. But i still dont know how to pray. Help me get there please.
It's like everything that's fun and gives enjoyment to life is a sin and everything that brings suffering is supposed to be a blessing, it just makes me think heaven will be more of the same and we're just practicing suffering to become desensitized for more work in heaven as a good servant, please tell me how wrong i am
That makes sense why you would think that But from my experience, there is so much joy in enjoying things in moderation. Good things. God created so many wonderful pleasures for us to enjoy like fruits and music and wine and relationships with each other. The joy of living in love with Him is unmatched. It’s true that we cannot give in to every pleasure because some pleasures have now become distorted. Pleasures that take us away from true love are the ones we are to avoid because truly what they do to us is destroy us deep down. The only reason we have suffering in this world is because we have sin. We were never supposed to work win a toilsome and burdensome manner. We are never supposed to have to die. We must work and suffer for a time down here (Although God also does want us to experience real deep joy in our hearts and to enjoy innocent pleasures He created for us) But Heaven will be a place of nothing BUT joy and rest and pleasure. Absolutely, completely pure love! We will do nothing but enjoy forever and ever. I actually made a separate video called “Why am I Suffering” if you are interested in more of my perspective on this. But no pressure :)
@faustinagorham1891 I'll check it out, I do appreciate your catholic perspective and I believe God lead me to your channel to help me with this. Thank you for your reply
You are right. We can do absolutely nothing on our own. But with God’s grace all is possible. Jesus commands us to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. He doesn’t command something that isn’t possible. The problem is that God cannot give us the grace to refrain from intentional sin if we do not fully desire it. That’s where the resolution comes in.
Not every group that delights in the freedom they have found is a cult Anyone can experience the reality of God’s love, even if they are not Catholic Christians :)
@@peertopeertherapy3720 I don't view any human in the entire world as my enemy. I believe that every single person is in this together no matter what they believe or don't believe. I believe that evil spirits are the enemy of humanity. But nothing about my faith makes me have bitterness or resentment against anyone. It has done the opposite for me.
@@faustinagorham1891 Oh people are never evil its just evil spirits that make people do evil things. So that makes Hitler a good human but he was influenced or possessed by a evil spirit? Psalm 14: 2-3 The Lord looks down from heaven on 'ALL MANKIND' to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Did you forget about people dying daily now in poverty, starvation, abusive situation, wars and sickness? We in US haven't experienced yet anything bad compare to others. This is the time when we need to weep with Our Lady over human evil cooperation even She will won in many souls, before that many will be condemned too.
Let me make this simple people sing because they love what they get from the sin for example, if you love beauty and you look at pornography, you’re getting a fake beauty. The key is to love. God more replace that desire for fake beauty and ask God let me love you more than pornography because you made beautiful girls and you made sex so I think I can love you more with your help, blessed virgin to see her face in meditation using your imagination you will see her and you’ll see real beauty and you won’t desire fake beauty anymore
I’m off the fence. Going all in with resolve!! Also started the St. Bridget 12 years novena today for my family so that I can leave them in Gods hands and work on myself. My prayer has changed from “convert them” to “make me the kind of person that draws people to Jesus Christ”. My heart is changing. Thank you for your help.
Beautiful!!!
The shortcut to becoming that person is to just invite Jesus to do it for you. Ask Him to live His own life within your body and soul. Ask His Heart to replace your own, ask that His eyes would gaze through your eyes, that His thoughts would flow through your mind, that His lips would speak through every word you say.
If you will continually invite Him and listen to the little faults He points out to you and surrender those to Him, then very soon you will be the kind of person who draws everyone to love Jesus, because they will be drawn to His very presence veiled within you.

Disposition of the heart is literally everything! The whole battle is fought and graces are won (well received) by the slightest movements of the heart! It's amazing...All God wants is our heart.
Faustina,
I loved your video on teaching us about God's Will, with Adam and Eve and the explanation about what happened....I am going to be 56 years old and your video taught me so much! I loved it! I'm grateful for your videos! Please keep making them, God bless you ❤️
We are on the verge of the most profound awakening of God’s people that the world has ever seen. The forces of darkness loom on the horizon but God is gathering up a great army that will engage in the most decisive spiritual battle of all time. Our Lord Jesus is coming soon and the world will finally realize the greatness and healing mercy of God’s love.
Alleluia 😍❤️🔥🩷
Faustina,
I've never heard of you until this morning when you popped up in my TH-cam feed with this video. The title of your video isn't what caught my attention either. I'll tell you what did.
After walking my daughters to the door of our parish school, I started wondering over to the church to pray for a short time which is normal for me to do some days. Today, something happened that doesn't happen often these days, but I became familiar with in my first years as a Christian. Simply put, a familiar sense came to me that I attribute to my guardian angel trying to show me something. I was led over to a wall that had a picture of all the religious vocations and seminarians from our archdiocese. I knew from experience that one particular word would stand out.
That first and only word my eyes fell to was "Faustina." I noted that the "St." part of the parish name didn't seem important, but all the context I had at the time was getting back to my growing my devotion to the Divine Mercy and going through St. Faustina's diary.
The second thing that was pointed out to me as my steps were guided into the church was the twelfth station of the cross which is when Jesus dies with the Blessed Mother, St. John, and others staying close to Him. At the time, I wasn't sure what to take from this. I began reconsecrating myself to Jesus through Mary just a few days ago. So I thought it was encouragement to be more devoted to the Rosary. Though, again, I wasn't sure yet as when these things happen to me, I've learned that the purpose and meaning comes later and my initial impressions are like a child trying to figure out what their parent is doing for them before the parent is ready to tell them what the surprise really is.
Next, which I had no guesses for, the confessional was pointed out. I had no context for what this could mean since I confessed two days ago and do well enough to examine my soul and confess even the roots of sin.
Finally, the tabernacle where our Lord dwells in the flesh. At the time it was kind of an obvious "well yeah, Jesus is everything" meaning for myself. As I walk out I visit some statues on my own accord and thank those saints in heaven for hearing and answer my prayers and helping me here on earth so frequently, which is my norm. I drove home reflecting on how much I've changed in the last ten years since discovering the Catholic faith. Even still, I realized that me holding onto something, knowingly or not, is holding back what God wants to do in my life.
So I get home, log onto my computer, and do my normal thing of checking TH-cam some before working. I scroll down some and see a video that just doesn't seem to fit. I have no clue what it is. I hover over it with my mouse trying to figure out why on earth this video is on my feed. The transcript eventually got to where you mention your name, "Faustina."
At this point, I click on it, still not sure if it's a Catholic video or if you just happened to be some gal that had Catholic parents that named you Faustina or something else.
Well, thanks be to God, it turns out I'm not some crazy guy wondering about my Church looking at seemingly random things.
Here you are, Faustina, exploding from the heart about the good news that Jesus has the power to truly set us free from ALL attachment to sin. If we believe that Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, who died for our sins on the cross, why do we so often hold onto our sins while telling Him we are sorry and asking Him to forgive us? Give him that which He came to take away! Without Him, we can do nothing. If we put all our efforts into stopping our sins on our own hoping that we will one day feel good enough about who we are to finally open up and be vulnerable to God, we will neither be free nor joyful nor peaceful. We won't be set free. We wouldn't relate to our doctors this way if we were diagnosed with cancer. If we had a glimmer of hope in living, we'd say whatever it takes Doc, let's do it. With our Lord, we don't even have to set an appointment.
Jesus, be my healer, save me. I give you my sins. Make me whole. Take this heart of stone and give me a new heart of flesh. Make me a new so that I may live totally for you.
WOW this is so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!
Beautifully said. Lord work in me to will and to do of your good pleasure. Truly my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.
Faustina’s video made me cry. And now your comment made me cry. I feel the Lord working on my heart! God bless!
So amazing
God is at work selecting His army for the i,pending battle. May we all be ready! Faustina is our officer in charge
*"Let go of sin and jump all the way in for God!"*
Thank you for showing me that I *MUST* do this, and especially that I *CAN* do this!
Your excitement is totally contagious !
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Faustina, I’m with you, praying in the Divine Will for several years. I see something special in you. Keep going! I am old but I am united to you
0:13 most infinitely, this is the most exciting and amazing time to be alive. We were literally created, and born into these times for each of us has a purpose in Christ, who strengthens us in our weakness.

Why me, why this time? 22 second mark
Amen, amen, amen and AMEN! Intentional. Firm. Purpose. Amendment. Desire. Sainthood. Another prophetic NOW word! I am also SO glad the Lord allowed me to cross paths with you in this very short time before you enter the convent!
Yes, all we need is a firm resolution and a continuous strong desire not to sin.
To quickly turn back to Jesus when we do and tell Him how sorry we are and ask for His help to avoid sin in all its form. We will find we are sinning less and less.
Jesus is very , very pleased as we strive to live this way. We are giving Jesus permission to work in our life with our firm commitment and strong desire not to. Actually its Jesus who does everything .We put in our 1% and He does the rest.
I hope you still make videos when you become a religious . You are an awesome teacher !!
I don't plan on it but whatever Jesus wants
You are so young yet full of Gods Spirit and Grace! God bless you and keep you powerful in His Word🙏.
If God can heal the paralyzed, feed 5000 with five loaves and two fish, walk on water and ressurect himself after being crucified, well then I trust that through His Grace, it's possible he could turn this wretched sinner to a Saint one day who never sins. It seems impossible to me, just as all His other recorded miracles are, but thankfully I trust Our God can do the impossible. I ask Our Blessed Mother to give me sips of the Divine Will until one day I may imitate living within it as she did so gracefully.
YES HE CAN!!!
Are you reading the Divine Will revelations given to Luisa Piccarreta? Because it sounds like you are
@@faustinagorham1891 I had been inspired to look into the Book of Heaven after one of your recent videos posted on Mother and Refuge (the one with the orange haha). I watched your video and something deeply clicked for me and I felt called to follow that. I’m listening to audiobooks of the book of heaven only on volume 2 and also doing a Noveena this May to Our Lady based on Luisas writings on the divine will.
Thanks for being you and for also being in his Divine Will, since what came from your video was a good thing, only God can be given the Glory of that which is good.
I had an experience around 10 years ago which somehow I think I may have through grace been shown what it can be like to live in the Divine Will. This was before I was even catholic, but searching out that which God granted me to taste, eventually lead me to being baptised with my family of 5 last December 23rd, and then as I continue forward I now rest where Our Lady has brought me which is learning and listening to Luisas writings.
Sorry for the long post but just wanted you to feel how nothing you do is small, as we are all part of the Body of Christ, sharing what you learn as you grow helps us all and it certainly helped me.
God bless you Faustina and good luck as your journey takes on a new form, I believe shortly?
I don’t know how your content showed up in my feed but that’s irrelevant. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit and rambling thoughts in the wonderful mercy of confession and a firm commitment to go and sin no more. I am sharing this with my men’s retreat team so they can have hope in our youth and that their prayers are being heard. All too often the elders in the church get worn down by the world and the evil one yet it is an exciting time to be alive and the battle is won for we have Victory in Our Lord Jesus! Amen sister
🙏🏻
Nothing is impossible with our lord if you ask him to help you he will, because I was living in mortal sin and from time to time I kept falling in the same sins, now by the grace of the lord I stoped completely I have no more sexual desires anymore but it doesn’t mean that I’m holly no, because I’m not perfect only Jesus is perfect and we all need to be fed by his body and blood and the more we are in prayer and receive him often he makes us strong solid even tho we commit other sins by criticizing or judging others or maybe showing lack of compassion towards others etc. perfect we can’t never be in our own but we can be with Jesus through his body and blood in the Eucharist this is the only way we can be perfect by having the spirit of the lord in us, thanks be to god for giving us himself to us to redeem our sins 🙏😊❤️🇺🇸🇵🇹
If we firmly resolve to, we can cease to criticize and judge others as well :)
And the more often we invite Jesus to truly live His own life in us, to see others with our own eyes the way He sees them, to replace the vacant hearts in our chest with His own Heart... well then the more His own love for others will become our identity and we will naturally experience overwhelming compassion for everyone because He has fused His own life with ours.
Purgatory is never something that I've dreaded, quite the contrary. When I'm not in an angry phase (with God), I recognize how purgatory is a powerful, perhaps the ultimate expression of God's mercy for wretched sinners. I see it as a cleansing of the soul, I see it as a therapy, a sort of divine therapy where each day frees you from what has afflicted/plagued/weighed you down in life. I've had trouble with hope, even as a young boy, the thought of not having to deal with that, that alone would be cause for great relief and exuberant joy!
Happy Feast day, St. Joseph.
We can go through purgatory on earth if we want to :)
I have begun to experience that cleansing of the soul and it has been painful, though incredibly freeing, just like you imagine it would be.
Good work. You're very in tune with all the right things needed now in this time. Hopefully these specific messages really spread. Detachment, being all in, living in the Divine Will, surrender, trust etc.
Father gave me a waking vision of in the clouds, HE let me see how FEW have a relationship with Jesus. This is fatal!
This is heartbreaking! Let us pray that this changes profoundly!
@@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829 Why I'm here warning. Salvation is a breath away but pride will keep many from it. People cry pray for me! As if God isn't already working in their lives. My family saw me survive miracle after miracle yet I'm the only Christian in my family. They ALL had numerous chances. Can't make someone believe. Pride will take MANY!
Let me guess, you are just one of the few that does.
All these cults believe they are the only ones with absolute truth, pick one.
Eckankar, Hinduism, Morpheus, Islam, Buddhism, Phantasos, Phobetor, Jesus, Pentecostalism, Evangelicalism, Christian nationalism, MAGA, Titania, Hypnos, Bes, Tutu, Asteria, Melinoe, Caer Ibormeith, Tenebria, etc.
@@peertopeertherapy3720 What's most important is how you are convicted and this is how you act proving the seriousness of it. It's not hard to know THEM. It's not hard to be saved. ALL had numerous chances.
@@jeremiahkirby6552 You didn't pick one or name another you feel most aligned with.
Wow! You said it all perfectly, Faustina! Heart perfect ❤ these are the best saint-making times! And yes a firm resolution is absolutely essential. Also, love your Esther 4:14 quote at the end🌹☘️
I look at this young lady and for some reason she just makes me think of St Faustina. May the Lord keep her and bless her ❤
Thank you God bless
Yes, inspiring. Yes, what amazing times! Oh, what He wants to pour out to overflowing in our souls. How beautifully He flows out of yours. ❤
Well said! Thank you. Difficult deep message to communicate - wanting only what God wants, trading the temporal for the eternal, sacrificing the self will completely to be filled with the Divine Will!
In those days the flood gates of graces will open wide for the world, and for those choosen to become saints in this world. Greater than those before to overcome the whiles of the satan, to shine a light on those who dwell in darkness in the shadow of death and to guide our feet in the ways of peace.
Wow!
Great message!!! Thanks! We can’t have a foot in both boats. A good thing is to beg God to sin as he sees it rather than as it’s presented in temptation.
The detachment to sin happened in my life 3 years ago. You explained it perfectly. Thank you.
Cool Tee shirt! Top ten reasons to stay Roman Catholic👍
The spirit lead me to this to day. In a mental struggle ❤
Thank you for this video, it was a message I definitely needed reminded of. Also, thank you for your enthusiasm, it was very refreshing. May God bless you and keep you close.
Faustina, thank you so much for your positivity. It's hard to be excited for these times when I feel like my life has completely changed the world is a such a dark place everything around me seems so dark. It's not the way I wanted to live my life. Some days I try to be positive but others days it's so hard when there's so much going on.
The light of Christ is enough to light up this world a million times over. If you make room for Christ in your heart by getting rid of all the distractions, then He will overwhelm all the darkness around you effortlessly and you won't feel so beaten down by everything because you will be above it all. You will learn to see suffering as joy, because He is the one who suffered first and when we suffer for love of Him it consoles His heart.
It takes time and attention to empty our hearts and make complete space for God so we can get to this place, and the devil wants you to think you don't have time because of all the distractions you have to worry about, and all the other people you have to fix.
If I were to try to be positive without Jesus Himself being the beating of my heart, all my efforts to be positive would ultimately be like trying to build a pretty house on sand. But this life of freedom with Him is so much more than positive, it is overflowing rivers of genuine invincible peace and joy that cannot be shaken even by the most violent of storms. This is what He wants to give to everyone, only very few want to lose their attachments and give Him ALL the space in their heart.
He is speaking to you though. He wants this for you.
@@faustinagorham1891 Wow. You put it so beautifully. I hear what you're saying 100%. I know that it is truth in my heart, like it's there but I can't hold on to it. It's definitely the attachments to this world. I've slowly let go of so many things, but there are some things that are hard to let go of. I know I need to pray for the grace for God to help me detach. One thing that really stops me, what makes me think twice is what I'm going to say to people when I'm trying to evangelize. It's hard to find the right words and I always feel judgment or persecution. But I know that I am blessed when I have been persecuted in Jesus name. Thank you for your words of wisdom and Hope. So many people need to hear your message. God bless you Faustina. ♥️
@@teacherreads1076 I relate to that social anxiety, fear of evangelism alot. But I found that once I stopped trying to evangelize and just focused on Jesus within me and letting Him transform me... I don’t know I never think about it. I often don’t say things to people and sometimes wonder if maybe I should. But then sometimes it just happens naturally and I actually think it’s better that way because it’s really true that when Jesus is really in you, they notice and don’t need you to say words. Sometimes words and preaching turn people off. Just loving people and having relationships with them is evangelizing... But every once in a while I am moved to say something, but it feels natural and simple. We don’t need to turn into street preachers. I actually think it’s better if we don’t. So don’t worry about evangelizing, it probably won’t look like what you are afraid it will look like.
@@faustinagorham1891 Amen.
You are discovering things it took me 60 years to discover. You are relatable and inspiring!
999-trillion oceans of despair and grief.
Rage rapes me.
I feel suicidal.
I don't breathe.
PTSD flashbacks torture and torment me.
I am submerged in frozen darkness.
My soul silently wails.
I am filled with anguish and terror.
I can only pray to die.
I don't know what else to pray for.
All I feel is misery and desperation.
Grief eats my soul.
I cannot, do not breathe.
He left me.
Discarded me like last week's garbage.
The despair is truly unbearable.
SO AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF,
I MUST REMEMEBER:
If I were to tell the absolute truth in this situation
and I wasn't afraid to, what would it be?
Express yourself!
This is the raw and honest expression of a heart drowning in pain
It’s beautiful. You are an artist.
I hurt for you, you’re not dong well.
I can only imagine how much God hurts for you. And He has great plans for you. Don’t you know that He is closest to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit? It sounds like you are a person who would understand His agony more than most. It sounds like you are the kind of person He would be able to confide in and rest in as a shelter from the agony the world gives to Him.
He is utterly here for you. Even if it feels like nothing but darkness when you speak to Him. His heart was also one that felt this crushing desolation and abandonment.
He isn’t finished with you. The more suffering a soul experiences, the more they are able to be a compassionate shelter for others and the more capable they will be to contain deeper wellsprings of joy in the next life.
Sister, I am really tired of this world. I find no joy on fighting everyday to fulfill responsibilities, with lots of barriers and no time to even breath. I thought my purpose was to have a family, kids in His name. I truly wanted it, but I haven't got the opportunity. Seeing you makes me happy, you look so at peace and happy too. I wish I could have that as well, but I am like a wounded animal, by my past and the roughness and brutality of life. Fortunately, I have Christ, to whom I pray everyday and try not to fail, for I love Him and would give my life for His Name. But I am far from perfect, full of mistakes and insecurities. Sorry for being so open, and thanks for reading. I pray for you to continue to be happy in your journey and God bless you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 praying for you to feel the holly peace of His Love. I love you and Jesus loves you
Anyone would feel purposeless and beaten down if they didn’t have the time to breathe. If at all possible try to carve out significant time for silence with God, rest and recreation. Your deepest purpose in life is to be loved by Him and to return the love you receive. But if you don’t have the time and space to experience that love and to hear Him whisper the designs He has put upon your life into the depth of your heart, you are always going to feel buried and lost. The devil wants us to think we don’t have time to rest and if we aren’t intentional about it we will become slaves of productivity without ever experiencing purpose.
I don’t know your situation. Perhaps it’s impossible to get out of. If this is the case, then even our suffering and exhaustion can have purpose. Invite Jesus to work alongside you. He can transform your little actions into building blocks of the future Kingdom and beacons of grace for others.
I have no doubts that He has great plans for you! He often takes the most wounded and broken ones and transforms them into the most beautiful saints! That is His specialty.
@@faustinagorham1891 Thank you Sister. Now I use the time I have to pray in church. He alleviates my heart with his words and with what I need there, it's incredible. Our pope said that the time we pray is not a waste of time, and as you say, it's the devil who wants us away from Him. I truly appreciate your message, Jesus really did well choosing you. I pray for you, again, Faustina.
I love watching your videos. Thank you for the inspirational content. Bless you! ☺️
Your resolution is inspiring. Lord, have mercy on us and make our hearts burn for You!
All humanity need to repent and convert to be reborned in christ keep love in our hearts for everyone
Though not a Catholic anymore I like your simplycity and your enthusiasm, that’s a gift .
Amen, to all said.
Lord allow never to be separated from you.
Few years back, with Gods Mercy,I live in the world and I am not worldly.
Glory be to God and God bless you, sweet friend Faustian, for you r a true blessing to many. 🙏🥰☘️❤️🌷✝️
Thx for u words, and video! I will think upon this.
Thank you for your videos, they give me a lot of strength and hope. Pawel and Ola . All the best from Poland
Thanks Faustina!!! I must to reforce my fence!!! Amen!!!
Beautiful!
What a fab name you have.. Faustina fired by St Faustina! Well done 👍🙏🏻
Go girl!! Praying for you from Ireland 🇮🇪....Thank you for sharing from your heart...with you in spirit! Pray for our country please!
God Bless you!!!❤
I totally agree and bless you for taking the time to share this with us. Yes, your inspired message is right on! 🙏
Amen and thanks,
GOD Bless
I love your energy level Fuastina.
THANK YOU!!! GOD IS GREAT!!!💗🎁🕊️AMEN. 💗🎁🔥💖🕊️🙏😘👍👏🏻👏🏻💗🕊️
Christ makes us perfect and redeems us through his blood. Repentance means not returning to sin. God made us to rule over our sin that is biblical.
Agree. Der s prevalent catholic understanding on this and yes we can truly desire not to sin and God wl grant our desire amen
Genuinely refreshing thank you sister ❤
Excellent 🤗🥰✝️🔥🙏🏻
Staying prayed up 🙏 great vid
You are absolutely right. When I had my first encounter with God, I believed in Him 100% and had no desire to sin no more. But over time, I let myself be deceived in moments of weakness and have fallen back into my old habbits. I am conciously delaying my freedom from them, as they have surrounded me with more temptations and obstactles that I have to deal with. I know I am strong enough to say no, but I dont want to, and its really sad. I trust God that I will in time.
You can do it! If you need a sign to stop putting it off, this is it! Don’t even wait until tomorrow. Today may be the only day you have.
We are on the verge of World War 3 breaking out. Don’t put off being a saint. How sad would it be if you only had one more year left and you didn’t make that choice today?
It’s a lie that it won’t be fun to get off the fence. The overflowing peace and joy is real!!! You can only catch small glimmers of it if you stay on the fence.
One can be set free of sin. I know this. In Christ ❤❤❤
You are inspirational. God bless you 🙏
20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? Job
Divine Mercy WTG amazing
this is so so beautiful!!! Thank you
Couldn't agree more!!! I am so excited with you sister in Christ 💖
Need hope in times of darkness. Thank you!
Love and Fiat
Love your zeal !!! God Bless you x
True. Amen 🙏 thank you Jesus.
I’ve been praying the rosary and it is very powerful. It wasn’t till recently that I actually begin to hear denying myself got it stronger as I continue to pray the rosary and I know exactly what you’re talking about. You’re saying you don’t want to sin anymore It’s a feeling I can’t explain and I know yesterday I went to confession, and I also felt this joy. It was unexplainable, but I felt almost as if I was a kid, and I had this smile from ear to ear and everyone that seen me walking out of there was kind of giving me a look like what happened to him
The daily rosary changed my life too
@@faustinagorham1891 hi can you please pray for me I’m being really attacked today
Yes ! ❤ I kicked it out. Ask Jesus and stay firm !
Amazing!
I’ve been reflecting on this same idea - that we are destined to be nagged by repeated sins in perpetuity. False!
Virtue friends. When you feel it from someone else you just know. And to live it always and everywhere is worth giving up every stupid attachment to possess and give to the world.
John 14:12-14:
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Bless you sister. Yes firm resolution makes all the difference
Thank you. Wondering if you might do a video or just comment to me on here what kind of Catholic family traditions you grew up with and what your family’s prayer life is like. Like if you guys do family rosary or confessions monthly, etc. I’m just a new mom, convert since 2018. I see you are on fire as a young 20 ish yr old, seeing how I can build my babies up to be on fire for the Kingdom since I didn’t grow up Catholic. It’s ok if you dont or don’t have time, I was just curious if you would suggest family ideas. Thank you God Bless
I would definitely suggest family rosary, that is super powerful.
Honestly I think something that stuck with me most was that my dad would show us videos about why we believe what we believe. Apologetics type stuff and scientific proof of Christianity, Creation vs Evolution and Eucharistic miracles as well as miracles of the saints.
God bless you sweetheart❤
❤️😇🙏✝️🩸🔥FIAT!!!
I'm struggling with the 1%, but I understand what you're saying, God is really using you to help people with the confusion in these times, and yes I confess the same thing over and over, which is embarrassing and has been leading me into despair, so instead of going weekly I'm now hoping that somehow the promise of the first 5 Saturdays devotion will save my soul at the end of my life
I believe God led you to this message for a reason :)
He will help you with the 1% Just ask Him every single day to detach that 1% from sin and attach it to Him. Mama Mary will get it done. Pray the rosary every day with this specific intention in mind. I promise you can do it. God doesn’t want you to go to purgatory, He wants you a saint.
Thank you Faustina! I think a lot of us just don’t know how. I want to be part of God’s army! I want detach from my sin! I want to be all in for Him! The way that you explain it helps to see it is possible. God bless!
It is SO possible! You can do it!! I'm praying for you and so are all the saints in Heaven
3:58
So much of my prayer, recently, has been a confession not only of my sin, but of my desire for that sin… prayer to not have the sin removed, but to have the desire for that sin removed.
We can seek forgiveness for our sin till our death, but if we do not confess & repent of our desire of that sin, we will regularly and perpetually fall back into it.
Might this be the difference between the remnant & the lukewarm? The difference between the narrow path and the wide?
Idk, I’m asking.
Amazing! It sounds like the Holy Spirit is welling up that prayer from within you!
I believe so yes. I think this is the narrow way He speaks of
Amen. May God Bless us All especially in the tribulations to come. Jesus I trust in you
❤
You are so cool. I hope i havent perpetuated that myth by telling people we'll always be sinners. What i meant is that our identity compared to Christ is "sinner". But it is possible to root out all major sins. And ill give my testimony not for my benefit but to encourage others. Ive been pretty much clean of all sexual sins for over 10 years. Its not impossible. It takes serious prayer. So stay prayed up!
He will always be our Redeemer and we will always be utterly dependent on Him
Oh Faustina your youthful zeal is wonderful and yes you were making alot of sense. Your shirt is very cool, were did you purchase it? My birthday is coming up this week.
Wow I just noticed the Street Madonna picture sitting in the corner I had that picture on a calendar a couple of years ago. It's absolutely beautiful.
Haha thanks Andy! It was actually my mom's, if I'm wearing a cool t-shirt it was probably my mom's
Happy early birthday!!
@@faustinagorham1891 Thanks
I grew up Catholic and my spiritual life was all over the place. Sometimes I was on fire for Jesus and other times I was just going through the motions. Several years ago I had an epiphany. It resulted in deconstructing my faith and I ended up leaving the church. But it also resulted in a resolve to “sin no more” I view sin differently these days but that resolve is more strong than it’s ever been. My life has completely changed since then. I don’t gossip, I don’t wallow in drama like I used to, and the pride I had is all but gone. I would make a better Catholic today than I when I was going to church every Sunday.
The resolve to be a saint like person is there though. I want to leave this world better than I came into it.
Come back to the Catholic Church where you can receive the Sacraments which will give you greater grace in your life. But kudos for turning your life around.
you are a super cool human being
💗💗💗
Without the word purgatory, this was an evangelical speech of a true believer in Jesus Christ. Stay in HIM, sister.
Btw, if my english is maybe a bit different? I am from Germany.
Your English was perfect!
I have a question though. What do you think would happen to a soul who loves Jesus, but whose heart is still somewhat attached to themselves and to the world or sins when they die? Would their souls really be ready to enter the presence of God?
Because scripture says that nothing impure can enter the presence of God
🙏 Amen !
Are you really joining a convent? That is so wonderful! Did you have a video about that? I would like to catch up. I am praying for you!
I am! And I do have a video about that its called “Life Update”
Thanks for the prayers I need them! I’m praying for all of you too!
Yes I can feel those prayers. Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing things are happening. Wanted to tell you that I have faith that your prayers and others prayers are creating wonderful things happening. I’m still off the fence. All in. He has been helping me detach. Telling me what to do. I asked Him what he would have me do for Him while driving. When I got to my office the phone rang and it was my church calling me to ask me to be an 8th grade CCD teacher only 15 minutes later! Very unusual. Anyway I know you are going to be entering the convent soon and when I think of you, I will pray for you and I thank you for your prayers that I prepare a teenage army for God!!. God bless you!
Fine, let’s do this
Thank you for turning on the Closed Captions option! 🤗
Oh wow I forgot to. I guess the Holy Spirit did that
Please pray fir me. I have been praying fir years to have a close relationship with my Lord and i no longer want to sin. But i still dont know how to pray. Help me get there please.
praying for you! God has great plans for you and is pouring out torrents of grace upon your soul!!
God bless you!!
It's like everything that's fun and gives enjoyment to life is a sin and everything that brings suffering is supposed to be a blessing, it just makes me think heaven will be more of the same and we're just practicing suffering to become desensitized for more work in heaven as a good servant, please tell me how wrong i am
That makes sense why you would think that
But from my experience, there is so much joy in enjoying things in moderation. Good things. God created so many wonderful pleasures for us to enjoy like fruits and music and wine and relationships with each other. The joy of living in love with Him is unmatched.
It’s true that we cannot give in to every pleasure because some pleasures have now become distorted. Pleasures that take us away from true love are the ones we are to avoid because truly what they do to us is destroy us deep down.
The only reason we have suffering in this world is because we have sin. We were never supposed to work win a toilsome and burdensome manner. We are never supposed to have to die. We must work and suffer for a time down here (Although God also does want us to experience real deep joy in our hearts and to enjoy innocent pleasures He created for us)
But Heaven will be a place of nothing BUT joy and rest and pleasure. Absolutely, completely pure love! We will do nothing but enjoy forever and ever.
I actually made a separate video called “Why am I Suffering” if you are interested in more of my perspective on this. But no pressure :)
@faustinagorham1891 I'll check it out, I do appreciate your catholic perspective and I believe God lead me to your channel to help me with this. Thank you for your reply
Thank you for your perspective! I no longer want to sin and offend our loving Jesus! Keep up the good work!
Now and later better then skidles
true
What about people like me who try to live a good life and sin without knowing it. Will we be forgiven???
Everyone who wants to be forgiven will be forgiven
Resolutions don't work, look at new years resolutions. That is dependent on your strength. Offer our bodies as a living sacrifice
You are right. We can do absolutely nothing on our own. But with God’s grace all is possible. Jesus commands us to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. He doesn’t command something that isn’t possible.
The problem is that God cannot give us the grace to refrain from intentional sin if we do not fully desire it. That’s where the resolution comes in.
@@faustinagorham1891 Can you find resolution in the new testament? Consider yourselves as dead to sin. Your new nature is dead to sin.
So which religious cult do you consider yourself most aligned with?
Not every group that delights in the freedom they have found is a cult
Anyone can experience the reality of God’s love, even if they are not Catholic Christians :)
@@faustinagorham1891 Spoken like a true cultist that sees their fellow countrymen and the world as the enemy. You also sound a bit self-righteous.
@@peertopeertherapy3720 I don't view any human in the entire world as my enemy. I believe that every single person is in this together no matter what they believe or don't believe.
I believe that evil spirits are the enemy of humanity. But nothing about my faith makes me have bitterness or resentment against anyone. It has done the opposite for me.
@@faustinagorham1891 Oh people are never evil its just evil spirits that make people do evil things. So that makes Hitler a good human but he was influenced or possessed by a evil spirit?
Psalm 14: 2-3 The Lord looks down from heaven on 'ALL MANKIND' to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
PS you can get free of serious sin. It is possible I am a living proof.
we can also be free of less serious sin. We can be free of intentional and deliberate "venial” sin as well :)
Did you forget about people dying daily now in poverty, starvation, abusive situation, wars and sickness? We in US haven't experienced yet anything bad compare to others. This is the time when we need to weep with Our Lady over human evil cooperation even She will won in many souls, before that many will be condemned too.

Let me make this simple people sing because they love what they get from the sin for example, if you love beauty and you look at pornography, you’re getting a fake beauty. The key is to love. God more replace that desire for fake beauty and ask God let me love you more than pornography because you made beautiful girls and you made sex so I think I can love you more with your help, blessed virgin to see her face in meditation using your imagination you will see her and you’ll see real beauty and you won’t desire fake beauty anymore
