Demons can't read our minds but when we complain we inform them about what to torment our minds with. Offer all to God in humility and silence.
Aren’t we supposed to talk about out problems to God though?

God can allow satan to hear your thoughts. Read through the bible.

Always learn a lot from you, Father. This really spoke to me. Coming from a hypercritical family, I think this affected my inner voice. I often find myself dwelling on self-loathing. It got better since I started praying the daily rosary but from time to time I still find myself being harsh on myself. I realize now that this is a form of pride and a disservice to my path to holiness.
Praying for all of us to conquer our tendencies for negativity and self-loathing 🙏🏻
This holy priest is talking to ME! I gotta' make some serious changes!
Me too! I’m cut to the heart!
I don't really get it.
Same with me, I can now see why my husband and kids aren’t listening to me anymore. I’ve been focusing on all the negative and lost most of the joy peace love and charity that God bestowed upon me. I gotta make some serious changes too but first thing is to remember to seek God’s grace, to rely and rest in Him🙏🏽
This all relates to me too somehow. God have mercy of me
He's changed my life!
Really laid into traditional Catholics on this one. We all can learn and grow in holiness so long as we remain docile in the spirit. Thank you Fr. Ripperger.
This is a lot to unpack and Im super negative so I need to listen to this over and over and over! I want to be healed and delivered from this so bad. My big takeaways: Stop thinking about yourself, start thinking about God. Its all about Grace. Also a biggee: demons want us thinking about anything as long as it isnt God.
I struggle with this too. I would recommend gratitude. Petitions are great, do continue petitioning God in prayer, but remember also to thank Him for the graces and other gifts He has given us.
CORRECT!!!!!! I hope your transformation was pleasing to OUR LORD GOD!!!! 🙏🏻🕯🙏🏻
The worst thing I ever did was when I was always thinking about God in college, I was worried I'll lose focus in studies and worked against it and can never get it back now, I regret ever praying against it. I really want it back
Yesssssss🙌🏻🙌🏻👑💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 😇😇😇
@@QMPStudios
Pack up your prayer 🙏🏻 books & head on to a Church ⛪️ or even better, an Adoration chapel 💒 and just sit there for an hour or 2!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😇😇😇🕯📖🕊
I forgot something: a very Wise Priest gave a wonderful Homily and it was about JOY. J=Jesus O=Others Y=Yourself keep your life in that order and you will have and experience JOY.
BTW GOD is always in control....nothing is happening that God does not permit.
MrsDi Thank You for posting this :-)
Amen, Iesus in te confido.. Deus Vult!
Love this!
Our pastor & priest taught us this too. JOY Jesus, Others, Self.
Wow that’s helpful. Thanks!
Fr Ripperberger is one of the good guys (one of the best). Of all the sermons I have listened to, of all the channels I follow, none have had a profound effect to the extent that this one has. I often find myself at first resisting and then over time accepting what he says. The advice is often hard to follow but when you do, it really bears fruit. This is the sign of someone who doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear, i.e. Truth. And yes sometimes it hurts. But it is the only thing that can set us free and save us.
Wow.
Very well said, Tim. To God Be The Glory 🙏 🕯 🙏
Father R. is a good psychology teacher that is also a priest. That's a cool combination 😎
Wow this talk really spoke to me because ever since 9/11, I've been totally consumed about politics, the criminals in govt, the crumbling church, etc. Ten years ago I returned to the Latin Mass, thanks be to God for the grace to do so and I have noticed and been part of the negative talk and anger. I am normally the one joyful about my faith. This talk gave me "permission" to let go and let God and laugh more, because all I can do is pray for all the church and the world's ills.
Bcoz Americans fall in2 the heresy of Americanism
@@bass9351 so true.
Im Hispanic male of 50 and wow I got visit Mass , and Practice the Eucharist .. Woow !!! Major experiences that was soo beautiful !! And devil wanted me hurt too again .. But beautiful stuff about the mass , Latin Rosary , and the Eucharist ..!
I had this problem too
@@bass9351What is that heresy?
I suffer and don’t talk about it. This helps. Thank you for the message father.
This man is a giant 🙌🏻👊🏻 bless his message and bless him with strength 💪🏻
It's not him.
He is the channel, instrument, conduit.
Hi Father Ripperger. Your sister’s saying, “it’s not your monkey” is really a shortened form of a Polish saying. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy. I love your lectures. Please keep doing them.
!,
Yep, that's true
I’ve been saying this ‘monkeys’ phrase a lot, lately!😅🙏
Thank you for the lesson. I love to learn languages and Polish seems a real challenge.
@@michelleishappy4036 Bez przesady. Przecież to jest szczególnie nieskomplikowany język ;)
Fr. Ripperger is awesome.
Prayed to our lady of sorrows like you always say to reveal to me my greatest defect and this video is the answer to the prayer. Thank you Father
Every last one of us needs this message, badly. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Father Ripperger is such a blessing for the Church. I listen to him all the time. What struck to my heart is the negativity that some Catholics and particularly Traditional Catholics focus on. Everything he said is so true. I love the Traditional Latin Mass, but I was raised in the Novus Ordo. I attend both. Sometimes I cannot always attend the Latin Mass. I love the Church and it’s caused me pain to hear people speak about the scandal in the Church all the time. I use to watch Traditional Commentators, who would speak about theology, but now they are always slandering the Church and telling you what’s wrong. I stay far away from them.
What woke me up was slandering Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Benedict XVI is very humble filled with The Holy Spirit. He radiates such goodness. Pope Benedict XVI has emphasized shining the light on Christ. I’m so grateful to be Catholic. I know many wonderful Priest, both in the Traditional Latin Mass and Novus Ordo. The Church is beautiful. We must Love the Church. Beautiful talk.
Wow unbelievable , i live alone and am very isolated .I have noone to talk through anything with . I am currently battling negativity as I am awaiting health test results .I am leaning heavy on my Faith but have to keep reinstating this from within.I know that God is with me and in control of All things in this situation and others .I know that I am feeling fear and trying not to look too far ahead . I think that I'm experiencing lessons of Humility ,Faith Trust ,Patience and Hope because Im having to fight hard against the negative and to leave it all to Him .Material is worldly and often negative ,God is Peace and it's there that I am finding Hope .Surrender is all I can do .Please pray for me
This lecture has come along at the right time for me.Gods will be done .Thank you Fr 🙏
@Deirdra I will keep you in my prayers. And I hope you received good results for your health tests. May Our Loving Lord bless you and keep you in His grace.
Our Lady of Sorrows, intercede for us. Amen
Sending you🧡.. and prayer your isolation is ended immediately
Wow, Diarra, sounds like you are suffering courageously and bravely to me. I must thank you for your encouraging words. I will also pray for you. Looks like you are on the way to Sainthood!
@Deirdra A year gone by. I have returned to this teaching. I am hoping to find you well, and our good Lord has provided for you. May His blessings be upon you.
@@MariumCarmoSame. Praying for her.
thank you father, I've been suffering with depression for quite sometime now. I've been too hard on myself. thank you for this sermon.
Hi may I have you Instagram,or Facebook id?
I pray God heals you.
Thank you for posting this. These are life changing words for someone whose negativity has harmed her marriage... With God's grace it will be overcome. Please pray for me and I for you!
Top notch preaching, gave me a kick up the back side.
I think that Jesus Mary and Joseph must have been the happiest and most joy filled family ever. There would have been no negativity, only laughter.
I needed to hear this. I think God must have answered my prayers and led me here because I needed some help. I been so negative lately that it is affecting my health and well being, literally. Thank you.
Anna Francis I've been struggling with the negativity as well
This is applicable to me as well.
Same! Please pray for me!
I really agree with this. I wish that i could post it on Facebook, but that might be presumptuous. I hope that others who use the power of Satan will reflect upon their judgement and use God to get what they need.
Same here. I've really been struggling with negativity, loss of hope, and depression. Have been praying for help and this video popped up on my recommendations. It's everything I needed to hear.🙏
Hi father I’m a traditional , to Latin Mass and we are not sad we are full of joy we don’t go to see each other We look for GOD , VIVA CRISTO REY
He said "some of them" not all , it's your interpretation is not good.
I was thinking the same thing! after his 2nd negative comment about the traditionalists I almost turned it off. The TLM Mass around here is full of friendly, positive families engrossed in the wonderment of the Mass. This is my first experience on this channel, and it bothered me. More and more using 'traditionalists' as the example of how one ought not to be. I'm so disappointed - this speaker was so highly recommended.
@@g-dragonsgirl9505 what I heard was constant harping that the traditionalists are the problem - the whole way through.
@@g-dragonsgirl9505 He said some not all and he is correct. I have seen this.
This has turned people off to the Traditional Rite.
I think anybody can be sad and scrupulous, it’s not necessarily a trait of traditionalists.
You know, I know so many people who are so negative, they really need to hear this. They complain so much about everything and totally kill my mood.
j/k I know I definitely needed to hear this. I have a lot of negative thinking, and day by day, by the grace of God, I'll overcome it. Thanks for the necessary reminder.
Thumbs up, but don't you think we should show some empathy and try to find out WHY they are so negative and HOW to help them? I didn't always think this way until I worked with a negative person and learned some things about her life that caused her to be so negative. Catholics are the best equipped to help these poor souls find a BETTER perspective so they can get PAST their BITTER perspective.
Justine ...we have to help ourselves before we can help others ....Father talks about tha at roughly the 12:minute mark....the principle of sufficient reason .... it's a bilical principle based on having a plank in your eye ... And, although well intentioned, the thinking is way too simplistic when dealing with humans ... some people are negative about everything else because it's too painful for them to look at their own personality flaws .... If you go into it, with the hope of planting seeds .... be prepared to plant them consistently over a long period of time ...and even then .... be prepared for them NOT to change .... Dropping tips ? Sure ! Thinking you are gonna help them change ? Well, you are better off praying and leaving that in the hands of the one who has the control, and may have other plans for that particular soul for reasons you won't know until Judgement. God bless you for your zeal to help others and I'm so glad you were able to assist the one you did
@@msjustine1000
I understand what you're saying. I do.
However, everything at the end of your comment that's in capital letters SCREAMS at me.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
This channel is a huge blessing
Thank you Father rippinger as a traditional catholic myself practicing the trying to practice the traditional Catholic faith I find it very enlightening and I have things to work on
Thank you, Fr. I am the trad you are addressing. I truly appreciate your work, especially this talk. May God continue to bless your ministry.
God bless you our lady keep you
Fr. Ripperger: Thank you for another great talk. I have had a very different experience with the Traditional community. My fellow parishioners are happy, humble, good Catholic people. My husband has said that perhaps the sedevacantists we have met (NOT in our Traditional chapel) are more negative, like those described in this talk. Our chapel is fully Traditional and it is a joy to be part of it.
Yes your parish is fantastic ! Thanks so much from Tennessee, you guys help my brother and his children so much! I've come to greater depths of faith through your parish faith and the school. I think about and wonder how he does it , but your example of supporting the widowed is a wonderful extension of grace. And healing. Nice art ! SoCal just comes through the picture had to wonder if it was a case of connectedness
PACOIMARACER no but if you listen to what Fr. Ripperger says you might just learn something
PACOIMARACER wow you must have not listened to the talk at all! Father is speaking to YOU!
Many have had countless negative experiences with “traditionalists”...Father is spot on with his critique.
@@MM-pj4bl I also have never heard or experienced any negativism such as described here from my traditional community- and they are filled with joy. They do not criticize the Pope- they pray for him. Wow- I am sorry for those who have had negative experiences. I have to say it was very surprising to hear Father speak of traditionalists this way.
Thank you Father Ripperger. I am so grateful for your message. God bless you and all your good work.
Thank you so much Father Chad Ripperger. I am a traditionalist and I am not angry to hear the traditionalist comments mentioned. I am a resident of the District Of Columbia which famously known as Washington or Washington, DC... where the whole swamp is. Viva Cristo Rey. Thank God that I am consumed by the negative around me. I am surrounded by godless agenda and godless people..... Including my own family and friends coworkers and neighbors. Please , O Lord God help me with the whole conversion of my family, especially my daughter and son. 🙏😇❤️💙
I really enjoyed this talk. I was surprised what he found lacking in some traditionalists. Good talk. If I think about it, I can remember how focusing on negative things could give me a high. Point it is a focus on self. I will send link to others.
Thank you God for blessing us with Fr Rippeeger. I have learned so much from him more than anyone else. The Holy Spirit works through him to reach us so thankyou 😊
Fr. Ripperger you on another level, seriously thanks be to God for this priest, God bless you bro for putting this videos up🙏
This was a real eye-opener and quite painful for me. I see how my negativity has hurt me but worse, those around me. But the up side is I've really grasped the lesson so I think I can start to make it much better. Thanks again Father Ripperger!
ANOTHER EPIC TALK , THANKS GOD BLESS YOU FATHER.
"when you focus on the problem, the problem increases. When you focus on the solution, the solution increases"
Thank you Father! As someone ridiculously scrupulous for a long time, you gave the solution. It's time to just "think God." ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
"Anything but God" - wow, that really hits home.
All in all, this presentation is a reminder that we are created in the image of God, thus we should not loss our focus to the extreme on the both sides... true humility, true mercy, true charity and true happiness.... in Christ the Truth will set us free....
Every day, this conference becomes more and more relevant. I think I need to listen to this regularly. I usually save these videos to a playlist called Good Sermons, but today I will create a new one: Sermons to hear once a month.
God bless you Father!!
Thank you sir so
God's mercy relieves our burden.
I started listening to this because my husband is so negative and found out that many times it think I should have done better in the past and when those thoughts come it’s all I can think of. Next time I’m trusting in His Grace since He has forgiven me already and forgive myself for not being able to see into the future and not being perfect in the past.
I've given this topic a lot of thought. I think it's important to count your blessings. But I think it's more important to be honest with yourself so that God can sort you out properly. Finding a good balance is probably the answer.
God bless you Fr Chad. Your messages are changing my spiritual life. This message was my answer from Our Lady of Sorrows that negativity and harping on things is my problem. 🙏
This is a timely reminder in these troubling times with unlimited bad news and evil to be found in our world. It's ok to know but not to dwell on evil. Our brain is pliable and changes according to yoir choices. As Father eloquently explains. Great video to share..thankyou.
Amazing every time. Fullfilling.
Thankyou Father. Very well versed.
Lol.. I can sit and pray my rosary and keep thinking about the new rosary I want! Lol.. example of what your talking about to a crazy degree!m
Im constantly fighting depression, im a nyc corrections officer and the prisoners are the worst of the worst its a dreary and evil atmosphere im trying my best to see the good of what im trying to do but i cant.
Hang in there. Just said a prayer for you. I’m in a tough thankless job and I have to keep my head down and keep moving forward. Praying that you have the grace to leave your work at work and if necessary find something else to do. Keep an eye out for US Marshall postings
@@dan3535351 Thank you.God bless you.
I worked in inner city schools which was very difficult, and endured several physical assaults there, as well as in suburban schools. I had to stay teaching in the public schools for 15 years so that I could retire early due to my depression. Maybe God can still use you to pray for these prisoners who often have children of their own. There are ministries that work in prisons, such as Prison Fellowship. Maybe you can suggest this to your supervisor, so that change can happen in this prison. God bless you 🙏.
MultiJpad, I often pray for all our LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers, for anyone who doesn’t know), and also for crime victims, perpetrators, and their families. What a tremendously difficult job you must have! It’s got to take a ton of spiritual strength just to get through the day, much less be your best in your job and for your family as time goes on…
I hope things are getting better and you’re seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. 😄
Just in case in might help - when I was in a hard situation, I tried praying for the others involved (the ones making things difficult for me), and it helped me A LOT. Have you ever tried briefly praying for the prisoners and your fellow officers, before/after work and maybe a couple times during the day - like at lunch and 3:00pm? And/or when things are going wrong - just a quick “Jesus help us!”
I’ve found that a quick prayer for God’s guidance before work is very helpful, too, as is a daily Rosary. The Rosary is EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! The peacefulness and guidance kicked in after a few weeks (and remember the main point of the Rosary is to meditate on the mysteries).
Something else great is lectio divina - meditating on a short passage of the Bible and listening for God to “speak” to you about it (in your thoughts) as it relates to your life.
Anyway, I’ll continue to pray and hope that you find more peace and blessing in your difficult work. I’m glad the corrections system has a faithful Catholic working there. God bless you & yours!
Praying for you two years after this comment. May you continue to be a light to those around you in a sad world.
Dear Father Ripperberger, I'm in probably the deepest 'dip' of my life...and this is a huge eyeopener! i thank you for that!
I have bin watching your videos on youtube now and then, especially after a while of beeing in a negative spiral and doing al kinds of things that have nothing to do with God...and finally looking for answers and usually find them in your video's!
Because I'm from the Netherlands and English is not my native language it takes me a bit more repeats to 'fully' (haha well fully only by God's will of course) understand what you're saying...
Anyway a big thank you and God Bless!
Best of the Best. Thank you Father!!
I need to be more positive like I used to be years ago. Having a negative mind affects us bad.
Thank you Fr Ripperger for explaining this well to us. It's always a new meaningful knowledge with you. God bless you.
That's why I started watching videos on making things so that I can get out of that negative space of watching all the things that are wrong in the world
This is a fantastic talk!
Four years later, I''m over it.!
Your words are so helpful. God bless you, Fr. Ripperger.
This one is exceptionally packed...I would say, it is a " must hear' for all. And it is not for just hearing but to sit with pen and paper and to learn..i wish a word version was available for reading..Sadly the video is missing..so we cant see the flip chart.
Tom Jose yep. I took notes. Will unpack more later.
'open transcript' prints it out.
Ty Fr Ripperger🕊🙏🏼♥️
A lot to process here. But very timely for me!
20 min in and I am floored. This is amazing and I really needed to hear this
Many thanks for this. I converted and was baptized 50 years ago, but have so much to learn. Being open-minded aka trendy is such a trap!
So good! I like the words on the Papacy! I have been trying to put it into proper focus without denying what’s going on.. thank you!
AND negativity is huge in the news and social media. I say that as a reminder to myself. Have to keep that in check.
So helpful. Thank you. 🌹
Fr. Jenkins is one of the few holy priests of our time. I thank God for him and for his videos.
Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us.
Awesome! Really needed to hear this. Thank you, Father!!!
This is so helpful. Thank you
I don’t know Fr whenever I’m a little depressed I find no joy in it and I pray about it until I get out of it…usually I come out of my sadness… there is this one thing that makes me sad and whenever I get slapped around by it it does get a little harder to come round again but I do …and am aware that I’m not that important…the news is something I stay away from…
Praying for Graces🙏✝️🌹
Cannot do anything without Him🙏
This priests messages are amazing and full of truth .
Makes so much sense! This video has opened my eyes and heart and possibly changed my outlook. Ty Father
Thank you father
Thanks Fr.
I have to say, I attend a novus ordo mass with a very holy priest … and charity abounds at our parish. Anyway, I’m thankful as always to you, Father, for this wisdom. My mother is extremely negative and as her caregiver I have found that spending extra time in adoration and working on deepening my meditative prayer time has transformed my ability to cope with and actually help her, and it’s helped me get over myself for my early convert scrupulosity re my past sins.
Most powerful helpful talk thank you
Thank you Father I needed to hear this, it struck a cord in me. God bless!
Thank you Father..
Thank you fr ripperger for this message
Fantastic talk. I learned a lot. I think we have to be careful of just focusing on the negative in all areas...even in traditionalists. I wished Father would have pointed out that not all traditionalists are miserable and focused on the negative. He lumped all traditionalists into one group. Would have been more accurate to call them radical traditionalists. Im a member of a parish that celebrates the TLM only. Everyone isn't miserable. I see people smile all the time. Father made great points but should have admitted that there have been a lot of things going on in the Church for the last 50 years that justifies being concerned. But yes we should not be obsessed with these things and try to focus on the positive. Are there angry trads that focus on just the negative? You bet, but I think he went a bit hard on all traditionalists and didn't clarify who exactly he was speaking about.
I attended a Traditional Latin church for about a year after something very serious happened at my church. I had the exact opposite observation. The people were the most friendly and welcoming, and I was really struck by the reverence shown during the Consecration and reception of Holy Communion. Everyone kneels to receive and no taking the Host in the hand. I thought those people already have one foot in Heaven.
Father was spot on with his critique. He is always clear in his talks that he’s making general statements. Won’t apply to literally every person. If you are “traditionalist” and bothered by what he’s saying...then he’s speaking to you.
This helps me so much. Trying to learn detachment. 🙂
God bless you Fr R.. love your words of Wisdom and this teaching really hit
Soo great 🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊
Thanks!
This was really good. I will feel good about myself even if so many of the church's significant people are so bad. As long as we long for God and do His will as best we can, we should be on the right side on the last day.
I also have so many religious books and now I am VERY selective in what I read/buy. My bible should tell me what I really need to know. Douay Reims. Before Vatican II.
Thank you father-you have lifted a burden from me
Amen. 💞🇻🇦✝️🇻🇦💞
I have had problems with scrupulosity. My experience is that it is much more complicated psychologically than how Fr. Ripperger explains it. It is not simply due to thinking negatively. It is about fear! It can be rooted in a degree of obsessive compulsiveness - an anxiety disorder. Scrupulosity was part of my becoming an agnostic and leaving the Church. After I did not have to worry about sin so much, I was no longer scrupulous. Seriously, the entire problem was gone. Nevertheless, I did have difficulties with depression and anxiety - both of which were resolved quite well through psychotherapy. I returned to belief in God after about 10 years and then the Church after an additional 15 years. I had the sense the scrupulosity might rear its ugly head again, as I never fully overcame it while in the Church, that is in that context. And it did. However, I was better equipped to deal with it. Got a spiritual director and regular confessor, who knew of the problem. Step by step I became increasingly aware of God's love for me. That was important (there might have been issues from my upbringing that inhibited that understanding in me earlier). Nevertheless, the problem would arise from time to time. OK I began praying to be relieved of it - that worked/works! I noticed more and more how my mind functioned - the habits it was in. I identified frequently looking back over events, searching to see if all was OK the way I acted (this part is consistent with Fr. Ripperger's suggestion of negativity). I gradually purposely decreased that behavior. I also began humorously coming up with some scenario that I knew was not sinful but which I knew my mind could make it into one; so I chided myself and laughed at the ridiculousness of it - this also helped and helps. I also recognized the issue of dependency as related to scrupulosity. Fear that then wants to be relieved by someone else telling you your behavior was not a sin - a difficulty depending upon one's own rationality to make distinctions. With regard to that, I began depending upon my own mind - for example, if my mind wanted me to worry about something that I knew was not sinful, I would not bring it to confession. I found that not bringing my scrupulosity to confession helped me a great deal - it really made me stronger in overcoming it. At the same time, I would suggest that challenging the dependency aspect must be done with care. If a person is not yet psychologically strong enough to challenge it, he must understand the dependency issue and challenge it in the ways and to the degree he can, gradually gaining independence of thought and the strength that goes with that. If a person has dependency-related psychological problems, it can take a good deal of therapy to manage it. Hence, there are factors that Fr. Ripperger identifies that can be part of scrupulosity. However, my own experience is that it is quite complex. For example, I doubt I would have been so well equipped to deal with it when I returned to the Church had I not had an excellent psychotherapist an one point in my life. After that work with him (talk therapy alone), my depression was totally overcome and my anxiety issues quite decreased. I was in a master's program in music and said to myself: "wow, I don't have nervous stomach every day at school (whereas I that had been the case since grammar school - possibly also involving an incident with a teacher - along with my character and temperament being on the sensitive side). In addition, while as humans we all share certain characteristics, each of us is also unique, the ramification being that one solution does not fit all people equally - people can have a similar difficulties which due to a number of different factors. Know thyself! :-)

Some people are trapped in negativity thought processes. I work with such a person, at first I thought she was bitter and unforgiving, but as she shared things done to her, my annoyance changed to sympathy. It would have been helpful if you shared some ways people can self-help themselves out of negativity and/or how those who must be with them on a daily basis can help them.
I wish the Church would teach us HOW to forgive and not just TO forgive. I thought I had to forgive the nasties and still be nice to them when they had not changed. I became a doormat and lost my self esteem over many many years. Now I hate myself for being so stupid. This happened for most of my life bcse I knew no better. It was only when I got a Smartphone that I was able to listen to brilliant teaching on utube. We are NOT taught our Faith properly and Satan uses it to our disadvantage. I had to Google how to forgive. Thank God for Google.
Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do
I like to look at it like this 👆
I've found that a lot of people out there think they are good people and they actually don't know when they are being nasty/wrong. A lot of people act they way they do for a number of reasons. Such as, their upbringing in their family, social experiences, education, etc....
If you understand that that person may not really understand what they are doing is wrong, it's easier to forgive them. Plus when you also look at your role in the situation, knowing you were not stupid, you just probably at that time didn't know either. So forgiving yourself for your part helps you also to forgive the other person.
When I have looked back at those who have walked over me, I realized they may just not know what they actually are doing is wrong and I understood how my role played into the situation too.
Don't get me wrong, some people do know they are wrong and well that is between them and God. So then forgive knowing God will handle them and if possible avoid them.
Tnx father.
That was an AMAZING talk!
Take away is: if we don't let go of EVERYTHING and focus solely on God's Love, we will end up bitter.
And the converse is also true: whoever is bitter must be holding on to something and not be focusing entirely on God...
I love father ripperger
I really appreciate Fr Ripperger's works, his speech always goes straight to the point and it brings clarity to my mind. Bless him! But I just don't think traditionals are so bitter tho xD
Fr.Ripperger recently I started listening these sermons. Really good and powerful. Fr. If you get to see this message please pray for us . My son is 16 ,he is good but I am really worried about him by seeing how he is neglecting his duties and responsibilities. Sometimes shows disinterest to night prayer too. I try my best to not to lose my patience and always be loving and kind to him .
