Solitary Sin: How to Stop

YOUR QUESTIONS FROM PRIVATE MESSAGES:
(Where does modesty play in with all this? I can see doing this with a dedicated audience of young men, but You Tube?)
I think the content could never be said in a parish setting, because it would scandalize the young ones. It needs to be discussed somewhere. I thought about this and decided that if people are old enough to be on youtube and old enough to grasp whatever I have ever talked about previously then they are old enough to commit solitary sins and could get pornography.
In another version of this that I didn't publish I mentioned that EVERY man struggles with purity... Lust is one of the seven capital sins for a reason. So regardless if its OSA or SSA every person is tempted to lust. So because solitary sin is so tempting because "nobody" would know... A man sees an immodestly dressed woman and this sparks the passions well with a few clicks he can see more of what originally sparked the fires of lust... This is an issue that effects EVERY man and some women directly, but all women at least indirectly due to the fact that it impacts their sons, husbands, boyfriends, etc...
But ultimately I felt like it was Gods will. The media does great harm by promoting impurity and it starts with purity of self. By dismissing masturbation it causes a chain reaction of sexual deviancy, a disregard for the meaning of the human person, and much more as will be discussed in a future video.
God love you! Thank you for watching and again please keep in mind... I am just a regular person just like you... I am doing the best I can to answer the call to holiness just like you. I am not a paid professional television personality... if you don't find these videos helpful please stop watching them.
My goal is to make videos that I wish I would have seen growing up. JMJ we love you! Save Souls!
NEXT QUESTION:
(Have you had any spiritual experiences with Padre Pio?)
I have found that of all the saints St. Therese and Padre Pio are very special intercessors... Padre Pio especially has been very active and "really" present in my life... as well as the little flower. So yes no doubt Padre Pio has been the source of a few "spiritual experiences".
That is how he rolls... He is the only Saint that I get stern with and it goes both ways... by stern I mean i.e. "Padre Pio stop messing around I know you can help me my dear friend... This is no problem for you... this is why I promote devotion to you... Help Me... if you stop Helping me... etc..."
Every time I meet somebody preparing for confirmation I recommend they take Padre Pio... or St. Therese.
I stayed 5 years without masturbating, but I recently had some relapses. It is very difficult to overcome guilt and despair after falling after so much time. But I know God will make me win again.
Bruno Queiroz try to pray the rosary daily asking for only one grace, i.e., to overcome sin of impurity. It works for me. Whenever i pray the rosary for a day asking for so many graces, i still commit sin of lust but when i pray the rosary asking for one single grace of not falling into that sin of lust, i really do not fall into lust. That is why i pray many rosaries everyday for myself, for my family and for others. I have asked the Lord to grant me the grace to have love for praying the rosary and the grace to persevere in praying many rosaries everyday. Without love for the rosary, we will not persevere in praying it.
Five years is amazing, man! Kudos to you, and I hope you’ll be back on track really soon!
Wear a Scapular and Miraculous Medal. Daily Rosary 3 times a day, daily Mass and weekly Confession and you will be free. Mary's intercession is truly powerful.
VERY GOOD! That is a winning formula!
Fasting for our Lady's honor on Saturdays is powerful against fleshly desires and many graces our received, God Bless...
Gabi i rediscovered your videos after falling in a state of despair. Your holiness is attractive and quite funny. Thank you. Your like a breathe of fresh air today in this culture of death
Up to 6 rosaries a day since I fell today, I believe that through our lady I will be freed from this sin. Thank you Gabbi
Also please pray for me
Never give up! I am posting a video on sexual purity and devotion to Mary on my other channel soon. Provided that my friend has the film of the talk. Thank you!
Yes. I will pray for you tonight
Thank you so much! You are truly a miracle for my life. I am a Catholic teen trying to struggle with purity and it is such a challenge. But because of your tips in your videos, especially this 1, I know I can get there and work for it. 1000 thank you's!
Praise God my friend. 1000 your welcomes!
I admire your courage in talking about a problem affecting contemporary men who want to be faithful to Church teaching on sexuality. Your message and sense of humor sound like Fr. Larry Richards. Keep up the good work to help people to achieve purity.
Thank you! May God's will be done.
Wow.....This is simply amazing. I will not be afraid to be a phanatic n wear 1001 scapulars. I will pray for you Gabi. Keep it up!!!
Were did you get your miraculous medal? I want to get a large miraculous medal. Pray for me, I will enter seminary next fall to study to be a priest. Im praying for you man and keep up the good work.
I really hope everything worked out for you 8 years later now! Sending prayers to you! May God bless you 😊
This also happened to me, but everyone kept telling me that I imagined it and that there was a rational explanation. Anyways, thank you for your witness! Awesome vid.
Gab, you do a really lot of good through your testimonies. People probably laugh when you mention the fact that you felt attacked by a demon...but in actual fact pornography can open doors to demonic influence... People need to realize this. St.Michael hear our prayer. God bless you Gab...
Because only a small number of people who can really feel demonic attacks. I'm one of them. What Gabi experienced, I have been dealing with it as well (sometimes, not often) since I was a kid until now. Anyway nice to know you... @priest008.
Best video I ever saw.
Thank you Gabi. I came across your video a few years ago when I first committed the sin of masturbation. I wish I could say that I stopped with the help of your video, but I still constantly struggle with this sin. Sometimes I go a few months without committing it, but then I fall and start all over again. Sometimes I think that this cycle will never break. But I know that with God's grace, I can break this cycle and live purely. I remind myself to learn from my mistakes and occasions of sin, and to stand back up from the blow of sin. Your video has reminded me that I am not alone and that it is possible to succeed. Because of that, I thank you so much!
Never give up! God is with you!
Google the 15 Marian promises to those who pray the rosary devotely. One is that it will destroy vice and deliver from sin...You can do it with the help of the Virgin Mary, all you have to do is pray the rosary fathfully.I
+Ricardo Alvarez I have personally gone through this vice and even though I lost hope during many periods and I even went through depression because of it I am now thanks to the grace of God free from it. I also highly recomend daily comunion and trying to stop using the electronic devices you regularly use.
Thank you so much. Many souls are saved because of your video, which gives spiritual enlightenment. Every day is a struggle and with the grace of God, we are able to fight our demons. I would say that the rosary is a powerful prayer that keeps me alive and I couldn't pass a day without it. My day is not complete without it and also the rosary of the holy wounds and the divine mercy.
I'm among those saved through brother Gabriel. May God continue to protect and inspire you . Amen
I thank you Gabi! This was the first video of yours my mother sent to me and since then I'm thankful that people like you can help others!
Keep on watching and keep on praying my friend. I have two other channels for you to check out when you get a chance. They can be found at www.TrueFaith.tv
Gabi, you are an incredible blessing to all who listen to you. What a prayer warrior you are! You tell it like it is! Thank you for your raw honesty that penetrates the very depths of the heart and conscience, to purge out the dirt and sin by bringing it to light, exposing it, and guiding souls to healing and conversion. You are a true laborer in God's vineyard. May God bless you and your precious family, and Our Lady hold you tenderly in Her heart and protected under Her mantle!
You are really good. Thanks for you clarity, your courage. Thanks for help of putting me "on the ground".
I've just praid before tonight, "chatting with Jesus"....and I got to see your video.
There is no clearer than with simplicity. Faith, perseverance and prayers...
God bless!
I will see this vídeo EVERYDAY
Thank you, all the way from the Philippines, for this inspiring and informative video.
"Whatever it takes to get to heaven"...i like that
Holy Water is a wonderful addition to all of your aforementioned solutions.
Thank you Gabi. A wonderful, strong video....especially great for my teenage daughter n youngsters. God Bless You.
this is absolutely true!! i experienced everything you say gabi, and i will go right away now to the catholic company website to order those precious stuff that you have...i believed it helps cause i experienced it and i know i need more reminders by wearing those medals, rosary etc. thank you for being so open it really helps. God bless you. Ps. please include me in your prayers. Thanks.
Thank you for your powerful testimony Gabi. I hope it will helped the teenagers to have courage and will power to stay away from committing sin of Lust. May God always protect you. 🙏
I also had had a problem overcoming the sin of impurity but i was able to overcome it by the power of the rosary. Whenever i pray the rosary for a day asking for only one grace, i.e., of not committing lust, I really don't commit that sin. But when i say my daily rosary asking for many graces, i still do lustful things. That's why i resolved to pray many rosaries everyday for myself, for my family and for others. I have asked the Lord to grant me the grace to have love for praying the rosary and the grace to persevere in praying many rosaries everyday because i know that without love for the rosary, we will not persevere in praying it. it is very hard to do things without love or the things we don't like. But how easy for us to do difficult task if we have love for it! Love more to suffer less. This is my advice for those who find it hard to pray the rosary and to persevere in praying. I feel safe and protected everytime i pray the rosary. I am so afraid of neglecting this prayer because if i do, i know that i'll be in danger and the devil will have again a great power over me. When i prayed the rosary for a day, i know that that day, the devils can not harm me and I crush their heads.
I commend you for your commitment to the rosary. I also feel that same protection from praying the rosary.
Believe it or not this same thing where i struggled to voice the hail Mary happened to me!!
Thank you for this video!
Good video Gabriel and I really love it and appreciate it. God be praised for the graces He has given to you to make this courageous choice, which has led you to victory!
This helped me a lot when fighting the temptations of solitary sin. Thank you!
thank you for all of your videos! they really help me to get motivated again when I feel distant from God... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Good talks! And very good sense of humor too😂😂
I have discovered your channel recently. Amazing presentation very honest and straight to the point in a language that we can all relate , God bless you
Thank you so much for your talk. I am so much inspired with your sharing and stories. Thankful to God for having the chance to discover your channel. I pray that my family sustain our devotion to the Holy Rosary to save souls and avoid sins.
Your story about Satan's oppression once you became contrite is similar to something that happened to me, only mine was God's intervention to stoke fear. The eventual message was, "There were many who were not taken because they do not know Me. There were still others that were not taken because they know Me but do not fear Me." I just wanted to relate that this common sin between us was the stumbling block keeping many from union with God. I was just Confirmed this past Easter vigil, and I have found your videos enlightening while also entertaining (more from your blunt honesty than you putting on a show). God bless you, and keep up the battle.
Brother, may we never reject God's graces! May the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph in our lives!
This is very needed . Thank you for making this video
We are literally bombarded with sexual imagery. If you are reading this, believe me, both men and women are really struggling with this. You are not alone, and this is a difficult struggle. I have the (1 Corinthians 10:13) verse printed & posted in my bedroom for help:
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
This will work! He is also hilarious! Good job man lol
Thankyou Gabriel for this video. Anyway I need green and Brown scapular but I don't know where to get from. INDIA.
Hye my friend . Right now I'm learning all the lessons from all of your videos tht you upload in your channel , all your information is important for me and it bring me closer to God . God bless you Gabe !
Thank you brother. God bless you now and for eternity.
Very powerful video! God bless you brother!
The way you talk and touch souls is really a gift from God.
May Our Lady be praised. She obtains everything for me.
Ok, now I understand how you became who you are- I ran into your videos years ago buddy
God bless you Gabi. You're awesome!
Best Video EVER!
Thank you!
Grace is the only way through. Great video Gabi, God love you, I will pray for you.
Gabi, I really need you to pray for me! For almost a year I have gone without masturbation, but I have recently fallen many times. I also have same sex attraction, which I wish I never had; I also suffer from scrupulosity. This is getting worse, and there are times where I am either on youtube and facebook, and like you said, one thing leads another. Plus, I have friends and co-workers that I have attractions to, and I feel I should end my friendships, while my confessors say otherwise.
You are so funny and adorable, Gab. I thought I am too extreme in my devotion but you are just my twin/another more extremist brother. :) GOD bless you and your family.
Thank you brother Gabi for the bold courage to speak about Purity and the evil of pornography. St. John Paul II once said, "This generation has lost the sense of guilt." Because no one or nobody even dare reminds or speaks and now I am convinced by your efforts by means of this media evangelization. Boy, you are sending more people like us to heaven like a kick in the butt and a big tap in the shoulders for one of the reasons why we get depressed is the effects of masturbation and when we are done committing it we are unsatisfied so we are lonely.
Brother, you are God's blessing to us so keep it up. I feel you can fill my shoes because I struggled with the same solitary or favorite vices and it really takes guts to root it out of our system and yes.... prayer and sacrifices is truly needed to do this foe we are weak and grace is always sufficient. Thank you for the reminders and rest assured again of our community's prayer for you we got your back....God bless you Ave Maria!

Hi. That's an amazing story and scary at the same time.
New age books - similar story with mine.
God bless, Proverbs 31
I just joined the Catholic Church this past Easter and have struggled with lust and masturbation since I was in middle school. Thank you so much for these videos!! You are giving me so much hope!
Gabi, thank you for all these videos, recently I came across this channel as a way to inspire myself to say more rosaries. I have a request - you mentioned many things about school going children’s and young adults struggles to lead a holy life in this country. I am from India, don’t have much idea about schooling here, except knowing that none of the things are helping kids to have a saintly upbringing. So afraid to send them to schools and praying for wisdom. Could you please do a video on schooling here, peer pressure, things that are kids exposed to and how can we as a parent help them to be a holy child of God even in the midst of chaos. (Targeted audience are - new immigrants with young and teenagers.)
Thank you for a GREAT VIDEO, I don't know what happened between 1978 (I graduated from high school that year), and now. During my time in school, we call other kids Jerk - - -s, because masturbation was frowned upon, 20 years later, I noticed that the younger generation openly talked about it as an accepted way of life.
May God bless your ministry! Holy water is also a powerful sacramental!
I totally agree with u gabi...god bless u
God Bless you Gabi. I love your videos You are truely a solider of Gods work. Lets save soul. Praise Jesus
hi gahi my names matt and i have been struggling with masturbation and lustful sin for a very very long time. i have committed great sin and i ask God to forgive me and ask God to set me free and to help me stop, but i keep doing it. i came across you video and realised all the things you said are all the things im going threw. I thank Jesus that he had set this time and this video and helped me make the correct actions to lead me to this video :).
What a very authentic bearer of the message of God to us sinful people
Great video. Thanks!
The thumbnail for this video is the story of my life lol. Gabe, I still struggle with this sin...even though I've made such amazing strides in my spiritual life, this one sin is so hard to kick. I pray God for strength. Please pray for me.
Hi, Gabi! Thank you so much for your informative and advice-ridden video! Where can I find the quote by St. Anthony of the Desert? See 31:50 for the quote. Yours may have been a paraphrase, and you cited St. Anthony as meaning: "...maybe you're not worth the Devil's time, maybe he knows you won't be a challenge!" Thank you!
Thank you Gabi....God Bless you...will share with my adult children
I have a friend who has a very good heart towards others but he's addicted to pornography. He refuses to go to Mass (not even a Protestant church). The sad thing is that he doesn't want stop looking a pornography. When I was about 14 years old he showed me an x rated movie. This friend has been into porn since he was about 9 years old. All I can do is pray for this friend. I wish there was more I can do for him.
Thank you ! This will prob be most helpful, God bless
amazing💯💯
God bless you.
Thank you God bless you
Gabriel, where can I get St. Padre Pio scapulars? Thank you.
Ave Maria! Mr. Gabi, we are interested to know more about your videos. We are religious sisters, may i know your email address or other contact details to discuss this for our radio apostolate?
Gabi! I hope to see you in person!
Very inspiring thanks will improve my devotion to the virgin Mary. God bless you.
People who sin might find it funny.... But don't forget that your body is your temple of your soul....
I thank mercy of Jesus for showing this holy video.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. MTV the worst Great message, and what style in your delivery 😎 I respect you so much!. (Now a concern.. respectfully, there is valid reason why many don't embrace Divine Mercy. (Summed up nicely in article by Fr. Patrick Perez. Article supposedly debunking it does not address the real jssues.) Why not image of Sacred Heart instead? (2 DM and no SH. ) Hate to see DM replacing SH. .. Keep up your great work!
thank you bro
Hey man you are right about the divine intervention thing. There have been many times when I have been about to give into temptation and all of the sudden the computer starts acting up and the internet breaks. There have been times when I'm about to give in to masturbation and someone knocks on my door and interrupts me. It's cool to see I'm not the only one that this happens to.
Thank you!
Hello gabi, I love your videos. So I know you probly won't see this because this is an old video but if you do than that would be great. I am a 15 year old who is very involved in my church, I pray every day, go to youth groups, bible studies, etc. I keep asking God to give me the gift of purity and I still keep falling. I guess what I am asking is how can I give my self totally to the to help me not sin. I know I cannot do this on my own and I need God to help me, how do I ask God for his help.
I suffer masturbation and pornography daily, even though I realise Jesus doesn't want this, and I feel so bad while doing it and even more after. I feel demons input bad thoughts in my head. I'm going to do the exact same things you are doing, I'm gonna get me all these medals and sacramentals and try my best to fix myself. I am an 18yr old boy, can you direct me where to buy all these holy symbols, because I think this will help me greatly please. This is video I feel is going to change my life. Thanks man
Don't give up. Go to Confession frequently. Go to Mass frequently. Pray the Rosary daily... and to be honest... if you REALLY want to give this up pray more than one rosary a day. Start off by praying two rosaries a day for a week. If you keep on masturbating add another one. Masturbation and porn are very humbling sins... so be humble and pray like everything depends on Jesus and Mary and beg for the grace. When you do this I think you will notice a change. Hopefully then you won't have time to look at porn. It will strengthen your will power and gain you many graces. AVOID the sources of temptation when possible. God bless you.
Also... I recommend watching my video on hell. May Our Lady be always at your side.
Mdawg98 You’re a young HUMAN man. You have TESTOSTERONE. Just resolve not to do it again. Nothing good ever came of pornography and the sex industry.
At 18:05 "Think I'm gonna commit masturbation with saints around my hand, Like anti masturbation pills" HAHA you're great Gab!! So hilarious but so true.. :D
@GabiAfterHours Please never stop making videos. You are amazing.
I also used to carry holy cards in my back pocket, but I gave that up because I found that they would get too ratty, and I hated to see that happen. I wish I still did carry them, though, because I keep running into those street-preacher-type protestants, and I keep wanting to give them something... I have now replaced holy cards with Catholic Rap.
Thank you
Is St Christopher a good saint for Confirmation?
Please remember us in your prayers. I am struggling to get my husband to wed in church. I haven't received the Holy Communion since I moved in with my boyfriend.
Three questions:
- What book about St. John Vianney did you read?
- Is it a good idea to anoint ones computer and smartphone (not much of course) with holy water?
- What does it mean to offer oneself as a victim soul, which you mentioned regarding St. Padre Pio?
***** Well, not a victim in the sense of being able to bring atonement?
You can look up "victim soul" on Wikipedia. :)
God Bless You.
God bless all
Its faith God gives you to overcome. but its up to God to give the power to overcome. Wait until God shows you his love and mercy. Pray for other who is worst off than you as for God to shows love and mercy.
Gabi... i thought that i was commiting idolatory sin when i was wearing 4 medals, then i saw you xD
Can you please make a video about sacramentals? Thank you so much Gabi, keep inspiring with the grace of God :)
I plan on making a lot of Higher Quality videos on Sacramentals. I am going to be blessed with a trip to France and God willing I will be able to film about the Miraculous Medal. God bless you!
+GabiAfterHours Praise God!! Praying for you :) pls pray for me :) Thank you so much!!
thank you
Yeah, everytime I open my phone or computer I see either a country's seal that is very Catholic or I see Mary, I feel like I am being watched out for.
Hey Gabi - You will make a lot of progress if you say the prayers from Fr Ripperger's book: Deliverance Prayers. You will be able to bind the spirits that are attached to you and be rid of them. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to know more.
do you have to be enrolled into the brown scapular in order to receive its promises and wear it?
Most people will say yes. I say put it on now with the intention of actively seeking a priest to enroll you. My reasoning is the rational behind a baptism of desire, the desire to be baptised and in the process of doing/seeking the steps necessary result in a baptism. Wearing the scapular with the firm resolution to get enrolled in the scapular when a priest is available should be sufficient until you are able to get enrolled. To get enrolled is simple. Look up the formula for enrollment on your phone and find a priest to perform the enrollment. Any priest will suffice... also Our Lady knows that if you could have been enrolled you would be. So... go ahead and start wearing the scapular and the next time you find a priest available and willing get enrolled.
I was wondering the same thing...🤔
What worked for me is fighting against Gluttony and Sloth first and it will take away Lust. And daily mass and daily rosary and holy hours in Church will help. I also just stay out of my nearest place of sin like my bed and toilet and bathroom etc
This sin affects a majority of men and women; God created us all to be pure. Porn is the devil's iconography. Let us pray to God that He will give us the graces to serve Him with a chaste body and please Him with a pure mind.
What about Catholic Radio for your Soul?
Man the intro sounds like my story.
It is a common experience of modern men. We have been deeply impacted by our pornographic culture.
Hey Gabi love your love of our Lord and Mother Mary !!
Whise pic is on your profile?
AMEN.
Its very good idea for remain pure. Love Catholic
