Now I say, does any’ya taste a’ fine crawdads. ‘Ave any yous had spicy crawfish? Theys good eatin!

It seems like no matter how hard I try, no matter how many times I’m tempted, it feels like I’m in mortal sin all over again. Just having fleeting memories or thoughts (or conjuring them for a split second due to obsession) sends me right back to square one. I can’t keep going on everyday like...

Why does the condemnation of those who attack the EF regarded as anathema, but those who downtalk the OF apparently don’t suffer the same condemnation. It seems like the so-called “Traditionalists” think they are above reproach, while anybody who even dares to question their position on EF vs EO...

That’s the good news. The bad news is I’m morally/spiritually and physically exhausted and any amount of effort will bring back the obsessions. I almost had a meltdown from guilt/depression and I’m trying to hold on.

I’m in Narragansett, Rhode Island at a relative’s cottage for a fortnite. The Beach, Galilee, fish markets and Beer!

I want to have my sins absolved tomorrow even though I can confess them on Wednesday during adoration and I have no idea what to do. My regular confessor told me to make an act of contrition and told me it doesn’t have to be perfect, that the Lord sees our hearts and knows our intentions. I...

And it’s not Good. In fact, the exact opposite! When I’m terrified (especially the past few days) I stay awake and borderline despair, half wishing I was either Protestant or never born. I think my literal fear comes from not only sin, but from the devil himself! How do I know if this fear is...

I’ve made an appointment for Confession Tomorrow (after i reschedueled it from today). I’m starting to feel like Servile Fear is replacing filial fear, especially one night when i truck was going down the street which made the house rumble and it made me think that the Parousia was happening and...

Does anyone have a link to a website that clearly and concisely explains what the Brown Scapular devotion entails?

…and falling away. Please pray for me and my family.

I’ve hit it (and had it). No matter what I do it’s sin this and sin that, despair, presumption, either/or, both/and, Sigmund Freud words, Hell. No cartharsis because that would be a sin. I’m dizzy, nauseous, delirious and can’t get my Faith Life, Prayer Life, Sacramental Life, Temporal Life...

My Aunt bought me a blessed (I have no idea if it is) Brown Scapular when she back from her vacation in Italy. She says you wear it under your shirt with one side facing your chest and the other your back. Do I have to enroll in a Third Order in order to receive graces?

It’s finally happened. I’m on the edge of losing my Faith. No matter what I do, it’s a Sin in some way, shape or form. I entered the Church singing “happy to lucky me”, and now I’m about to leave it while singing “the sins of life: that’s a sin and that’s a sin and everything’s a freakin sin...

I’m curious about total Consecration to The Sacred Heart of Mary. what does it require and what are the daily duties of such a commitment. In the past I blindly Committed to it but didn’t follow through on the devotions (I’m horrible at reciting devotions) and asked to have it “communicated” or...

I’m constantly trying to balance a secular and Religious life while trying to make the secular life religious, and it’s all going down the drain. Can’t have my cake and eat it too. Any attempt to practice my Faith results in my family thinking I’m nuts, I’m wearing myself out, I hardly have any...
