Blessings and curses of having a conscience

[CRATUS]

A priest told me I have a sensitive conscience. It seems to bother me that I am not the pinnacle of perfect human morality. Just because something it is considered a sin, does not change my inclination or desire to commit such acts. I feel annoyed why I am making my body a prisoner. What if I do not get married until I am 37? Damn. I won’t be as pretty as I am now in my twenties. God has a plan for my life. There are men I have loved but realistically I know it will NEVER work in this lifetime. Why do thing hurt feelings even though they may better for us in the long run? There is a guy I really like and we have a VERY SINFUL “friendship”. I know it will NEVER WORK OR IT IS WRONG, but that does not mean I do not cry at night about it. Despite all this, I think I genuinely like him as a person. I am leading him and myself directly to hell.

STOP what you’re doing right now.

Block the number. Stop seeing him (not even for some sort of “break up” mtg). Just STOP. And do something else with your time–save the whales, play board games, build medieval armor–whatever. But STOP hanging out or communicating with this guy.

AMEN to this. A conscience is simply an inner awareness of sin… Listen to it and heed it . You have a will and choice and if you go on you will get hardened and sour and unable to love. The strongest w ord is NO. Close the door.
