I am glad that I stumbled across this video! I am a Catholic hermit sister that lives on the same property with another Catholic hermit sister. We have taken vows under our Bishop. It is so encouraging for us to see young Catholics such as yourself, being so raw and real about your struggles with same sex attraction. Things are getting so crazy and confusing in the world right now and you need good friends to help keep you grounded in the truth of Christ. Sitting before Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, being raw and real with Him, sharing all our pains, struggles, disordered passions, loneliness, etc., and allowing Him to speak truth to us of how He sees us, truly sets us free! I would like to share with you someone else who cares deeply about you and desires your intimacy with Christ, and that is the Blessed Virgin Mary. If anyone has Mother wounds, She desires to heal them. She is a tender Mother and She is so beautiful and pure. IF you haven't done so already, ask Jesus to help you to get to know Her. Your life of holiness will grow in leaps and bounds. Just as we have an earthly family, we have a beautiful heavenly family. God chose Her to be His Mother and if it is good for Him, it's good for us. God bless you both! You will be in our prayers. Much peace!
Wow, yasss!! I love you guys!! I want to be besties with you both lol I’m a gay man that is living a chaste lifestyle and I still have yet to meet anyone in person who is doing the same. Your friendship is beautiful and inspires me that I will find the same. ❤️🙏🏾 God bless you both!
I absolutely love how I'm just now replying back to this message of yours saying that you "want to be besties" three weeks later and now WE ACTUALLY ARE FRIENDS AND TALK ALL THE TIME LOL God is so good and awesome, right? I'm so thankful for your continuous love and support, my dearest brother in Christ! Keep on hanging in there, we are carrying our crosses to Heaven together ;-)
I recently had a full conversion, embracing consecrated single life and seeing this video actually makes me feel so validated. As a SSA catholic trying to live out the teachings you can feel crazy when you’re out in the world and outcasted. This is amazing! Keep doing what you guys are doing. ❤️
The joy radiating from this video is so beautiful. I was on the verge of tears the whole time. Being a young Catholic myself, this walk can feel like a lonely one. Peace be with you both. xo
Yall are amazing. I am so thankful for both of your witnesses. This cross will make you two saints and we need more SSA saints. Thank you for your bravery!
To Him be all of the glory! We are just merely His faithful servants :D Thank you for your kind words and affirmation, my sister! We are all called to sainthood, SSA or not. However, I personally cannot wait for the day that an openly SSA Catholic who lives in accordance with the Church is FINALLY canonized. Will it be me? Will it be Avera? One can only hope and pray :-)
Beautiful! Just the type of witness the Church needs - authentic, real, from the heart, and objectively true! Sending prayers for you both from the Benedictine monastery in our nation's capital.
Oh my word I have been waiting for this FOR FOREVER! This is the highlight of my week. Y'all are both inspirational people and I am blessed from having watched this video. Thank you for sharing your story and witnessing to the Truth. God bless you both forever and ever, Amen.
Well I guess we are even then because your comments on my videos are actually the highlights of my weeks LOL But seriously I am blessed to have such a supportive, affirming sister in Christ as yourself! You inspire Avera and I more than you may realize. May God bless you evermore, dearest Melina :)
Omg love you guys 😂 thanks so much for this, I struggle with SSA as well, great to see other amazing individuals living out Christs teachings as well. Thanks to you both, God Bless
Thank YOU for watching us and letting God speak freely to you through my video! I'm so thankful to know that our video was able to serve as a comforting resource for you on this sensitive topic, that is exactly why I do what I do! :) God is too awesome, isn't He? Please know that you are NEVER alone in this crazy beautiful battle of life. Christ and His Church are walking with you every single step of the way! We are carrying our crosses to Heaven together now! He will never give us a cross too heavy to handle. May God bless you on your journey, my sister :)
again...OMGoodness...no puedo! You two are incredible! More collabs please!!! God bless you both. What an amazing example you are! My heart is so full hearing you both! So much so, I feel tears welling up!!!
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch our video! Your support and affirmation means so much :) Amen indeed! Our Lord is worthy of all praise and sacrifice...no price too high for His Holy Presence in the Eucharist!
Thank you both- you beautiful souls!!! I have teenagers who really struggle with the worlds view and RCC - when we live in an over sexualised world that idolises fulfilment of self seeking pleasures- I am so happy to have found your clips- God bless you!!! Please keep leading and ministering to our youth and our world xxx
Yall guys are so awesome. I wish I could spend a say with yall! I think God loves all of us equally and it seems to me that the more we focus on his perfect love and perfection and just being thankful and praying and enjoying our lives through the good and bad, while helping out people, that just means that we are doing our best and doing good enough I'm his eyes. So me being someone who is attracted to men, I've prayed to God about it and just had my quiet times with him where I could let it all out and what I'm coming to realize is that I'm still attracted to men but that's not the most important thing to worry about now anyways. God knew that when he breathed life into Adam, we were gonna someone special. He created everything in six days and said it was good!! So we are good! So therefore I know he didn't place us here to intentionally be afraid, worried or anxious or have a troubled mind. There's so many wonderful scriptures about the mind that I read aloud and it makes me feel ok; Even though I have had this same sex attraction since pre adolescence. I don't know why I have that attraction but hey I got good family and friends and when you have that, it's good enough :)
God must be working on me because I stumble across this video and im hooked. BUT i will say im partically active in LGBT community but im in a conflicted state of it.
God is ALWAYS working, my brother! Though He clearly must have something special planned in particular for you ;-) I'm so thankful that He led you to my channel and has resonated with you through me. The best advice that I can give you for now is to pray about this. Open your heart to His voice and what He desires. Keep discerning where He truly wants you and who He truly desires you to be...after all, clearly your heart is conflicted at the moment for a reason! I will keep you and your journey in my heart and prayers. May God bless you much, Mazzai!
I love this content 💚 I also have same sex attraction and living in a chaste life. I also nourish my self in the Sacraments. I go to mass daily and go to confession atleast once a month. All is Grace thank you for this 💕
GREAT QUESTION! I actually just released a video in response to this exact question if you are interested in hearing my personal input! Check my channel for that one. I pray that it may resonate with you, brother :-)
