    My brothers and sisters trust God when you
    pray because it works. He said all we need to
    do is ask in prayers. My testimony spans from
    when I was jobless and faced a lot of financial
    issues, but when I prayed for financial
    breakthroughs, he answered me by making me
    a mansion owner, and I still earn $167,000
    every month. and you stay and doubt that he doesn't answer prayers. Make that altar now and spend time there. A change is on the way. Amen!!

    Hi Amber. Nice talk. I’ve been suffering greatly with intrusive thoughts or OCD. Plz pray for me for strength to endure it and offer it up better without complaining. Let God’s will be done. I know god created me to suffer with ocd and others for the greater goods. God knows what is best for us. Jesus I trust in you. 🙏🏼

      Try praying a rosary daily. Demons can attack our mental faculties and cause us to obsess over things. The rosary is a great weapon against demonic obsession and they won’t come near you if you are under the protective mantle of our lady.

    You make some really good points about God's permissive will versus God's perfect will, and I'm actually in the process of going through RCIA right now, so I appreciate this video as someone new to Catholicism. I'm also currently undergoing immense suffering, and have been suffering for years with chronic pain, for which the doctors cannot find an explanation or reason for.
    As much as I appreciate your video, during the portion where you talk about free will and sin, it does come across that part of the message you're communicating is that suffering is a punishment/consequence of personal sin in our lives, and I feel like it's a mistake to always conflate suffering with punishment for wrongdoing. You use the analogy of God as a parent correcting a wayward child in love specifically with suffering serving as the form of correction, but for those who come from abusive backgrounds, using this analogy specifically of suffering as a means to bring us back to God can subtly reinforce the toxic justifications of a parent inflicting harm on a child "out of love". God doesn't hurt us, he disciplines and helps us, which is not accomplished by him inflicting senseless harm on his children to "teach us a lesson". I don't know if it was your intention to communicate that suffering always relates to personal sin or that God always uses suffering for correction in every single case, but I wanted to make you aware of some of the problematic issues at hand.
    Scripturally, in the story of Job's suffering, his friends, not being able to withstand the mystery of his suffering, speculated that he was suffering due to sin, which was false because the story opens with Job being described as upright and blameless. Jesus himself also pointed out that disaster is not necessarily a sign of God’s judgment in Luke 13:4. Clearly our suffering is not always the result of personal sin in every instance.
    Our personal sin can and does bring storms in our lives of our own making, but God is never inflicting the storm or the suffering on us to "teach us a lesson" like an abusive parent, rather, he allows the suffering in the mystery of his permissive will and brings good out of it if we allow him to. We don't know why suffering exists in God's plan in the divine economy of salvation, and there are deep mysteries at work. We inherited original sin through Adam and Eve's propagation, which explains part of the mystery of suffering, but suffering can never be fully explained by this fact alone. In the end, all we can do is cling to Jesus in the midst of everything despite not having ultimate answers, like the painting you showed.

    Its almost providential this video came out. I recently returned from the USA to australia and when I got home I was inundated by this feeling of control from my family. After my mother suggested I reschedule my university graduation cause she wanted to go to the opera I realised something profound. I have lived with an absent yet enabling father and a narcissistic mother. I had a feeling I needed to move to the USA whilst I was there forgoing what little family I have. All this has come like a tiddlewave of emotion and guilt despite the optimism of making something of myself. If anyone knows any saints that went through something similar thatd be nice :) God Bless y'all

      Some of the saints I have been learning about or grew up with as a name sake. St. Francis of Assisi , st. Clare of Assisi, St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary, St. Eugene de Mazenod, st. Maria goretti , st Josephine bakhita
      There are so many other saints too that I read about whether it’s their diaries like st faustina or st Therese. But these saints have helped me to remember the goal is to love and live as close to Jesus as possible and to do everything the best I can.. even with the difficult trials and tribulations that we have to face in life. The rosary also has helped me eliminate any stress or anxiety from work.
      Always give Glory to God, the best Father I could ask for and Mary is the best mother to me. Where my parents here fall short I remember how loved I am by a God who never stopped caring or left me

      @ Greek word for brother can be translated as cousins, step brothers, kinsmen, etc. these are not his brothers these are his cousins. We know Mary had no children becusse when Jesus was on the cross he entrusted Mary to John the apostle no his “brothers”. In Jewish culture it would of been her children if she had anymore

    Sometimes I complain about my situation, and get angry and desperate with God. But then I see others suffering way more than me (I've been struggling financially the last two years, but my health is ok and can do stuff) and I feel terrible. I hate myself for being selfish and stupid, and I would understand that God would punish my prideful stupidity and selfishness. I'm sorry, Father. Forgive me for I'm an idiot and a sinner. Today I went to Mass and I was feeling like I didn't deserve to be there. It came to a point when I wanted to hurt myself. There's something in me that doesn't allow the Lord to do good in my life. He's so good to me and I'm the worst son unimaginable. I struggle to fully trust Him, don't know why and don't know how to revert the whole situation. Sorry for pouring my heart out here. I'm a disgraceful moron. I hope He can forgive me. Please Lord, don't let my stupidity and selfishness drift me away from you. Oh, how I wish to have more humility and clarity. I'm sorry. Thanks, Amber. God bless you.

    the angels aswell as the fallen all have identities, but are completely unlike us in matters of creation and intellect,
    the theological factors explain why the fallen angels can never be redeemed the way a human soul can via means of Christ's absolution by rite of reconciliation,
    At the instant of their creation the angels were infused with intellectual content which surpasses anything known, that which is learnable on any known intellectual level, thus their intellect was at a capacity which exceeds the ability to any known organic creature, and because of this they were unable to learn any more than they already knew,
    this is also a factor because they are not corporeal (bodily) based, or centred, and therefore made a choice in full knowledge of all there is to know, the difference with the human organism, although we are fused spiritual elements with organic corporeal matter, we are limited via intellect and what we can learn, and from birth we of course never stop learning via organic/physical sense, and therefore can be excused by means of absolution (forgiveness) via God’s grace because of it, this is why fallen angels cannot be redeemed in the same way a human soul is, Adam and Eve were not in possession of full knowledge

    I deal with immense suffering daily. I have a very rare immunodeficiency disorder and am sick frequently with pneumonia, RSV, the flu, etc, and I also have gastroparesis, so eating is almost impossible and I have lost so much weight I am skeletal. I have never really seen God as the cause and I HAVE asked for healing, but what I really want is help from my community, to help me handle my suffering with dignity. I have been struggling to get health insurance so I can receive medical care. I blame sin and fallen human nature for why I struggle to receive help, but I don't blame God. God gave us all we need to help one another, but some have even said I don't deserve help because I cannot work. Who can go to work when they're starving to death despite an abundance of food, vomiting multiple times a day, and needing blood transfusions but cannot receive them because of an inability to pay for health insurance or qualify for medicaid?

      I understand. I was able to work until my early 20s when I suddenly developed schizoaffective disorder. I had my first psychotic break, and after that tried to hold 8 different jobs unsuccessfully. Eventually I was able to get on disability, but being on disability definitely is hard. It makes it worse when fellow Christians call me a "leech" for not being able to work. I've questioned my faith multiple times for that alone. In any case, you're not alone.
