Catholic OCD: Embracing Your Fragile Self

It is hard to accept that we are so fragile as human beings. We all prefer to see ourselves as the "strong and silent type," or as "having our act all together." The truth is that each of us are quite a bit more fragile than we care to admit or to accept.

So true Father - especially the last part. We’re all EXPERTS in information about Scruoulosity - but still struggle for relief. Thank you for caring about us. God bless you.

Please may I ask why your priest's collar is black? I hope that doesn't sound rude - it's just that I've only ever seen white collars, and I'm very curious....

[@catholicocd]

It is a habit. Not a collar shirt.

[@juliarose4486]

Ahh, I see. Thank you!!

[@brendankelly7500]

thank you father for your videos!
I have a question: can someone sin mortally while being half asleep? Sometimes the mind creates sinful thoughts while one is being half asleep. When waking up, the images/thoughts are very disturbing and make no sense/are ridiculous and it is confusing how much you consented to it/how much you deliberately created...
Thank you and God bless!
