Well sometimes, anyway. It’s not all bad 🙂

I say this because I just went to Confession a few hours ago and I have already sinned, possibly mortally. Being a sinful creature can really be frustrating.

Angels are lucky I suppose. They do not have passions that obscure their vision so they can’t sin (correct?).

Errggggg… Being sinful by nature is annoying. :banghead:

Anyone else feel like this?

The angels had one opportunity to sin, when they were first created. Those that did sin, because they had no passions but only pure intellect, were not given a second chance and were exiled from God. So, perhaps you should feel lucky that you’re not an angel! :angel1:

Funny, you know. I just went to confession as well and I think i already sinned. I really wanted to take the Eucharist but it seems that i won’t!😦

Now I starting to get angry at myself!:banghead:

Hey, rejoice in the fact that you can repent! 🙂

Now make a good act of contrition, resolving to go to confession as soon as you have an opportunity, and get back to doing the right thing. 🙂
 
It is a hard balance to walk in regards to sin. If we let it frustrate us too much or depress us then we are letting it have even more power over us. If we shrug it off then we aren’t taking it seriously. It is a good thing that the Lord is so merciful!
 
Focus on your nature, not just the sin and you will find it easier not to sin in the first place, because what ever you are struggling with, no longer is part of your nature to do in the first place.,
 
This is why I find the saints inspiring.
I feel like we all have a sinful nature to the exact same degree- no one has a “more” sinful nature than another - so, the saints show us that we can turn from our ways~ ! No one has to remain “stuck” in whatever their “sin of choice” is
 
We fall down, and get up again. We fall down, and get up again.😦 As long as we are trying, God understands.:yup: Perhaps reciting the Divine Mercy chaplet daily might help? :o

I used to - it has taken me 44+ years to finally begin to understand 'love the sinner, hate the sin . . . ’ . God made US - so there is no part of us that we should hate. God did not make us for sin, or to sin. Very profound - but the next time you face such temptation - dwell on this very thought and shout - scream if you have to - to God for His Grace to help in resisting the temptation so that you CAN fulfill that which he DID make us for . . .👍

I’m far from perfect, but the above has helped cause a ‘conversion’ for me to get out of the ‘cycle’ I was ‘stuck’ in.
