Please help me to get over this?

[catholicgirl201]

Hi everyone,
A few months ago I saw something really blasphemous against the holy spirit on the Internet . One person called the holy spirit " a ****" and another called the holy spirit a " holy spook" . For the past few months I have been suffering from those horrible thoughts. Will a priest forgive me if I confess them? Will God ever forgive me?. Please can you help me to get over those horrible thoughts?

Thanks!

We can’t control every one of our thoughts. Can you swear before Almighty God that you willed these thoughts, that you took satisfaction in them and indulged in them? If not, you can be sure there is no sin on your part. And even if you did, all you have to do is be sorry and confess, and you can be sure of His forgiveness. Our Lord is kind and gentle and always ready to forgive because He loves you with an ever-lasting love.

I’m sure the Priest will, its just a thought, but we know who the Holy Spirit is and he is part of the Triniy, so remind yourself of that. Its not like you said those things, Sometimes when we hear stupid stuff if hard to get it out of our mind.

You’re being scrupulous.

I have had thoughts and things of a nature I didn’t recognize before. I was tempted with thoughts of terrible, perverse things that I never saw before or even heard about.

Don’t worry. It’s the devil jabbing at you.

Pray harder. Ask St. Alphonsus de Liguori for help in your scrupulosity.

Yes, a priest will forgive you. Not only that, but I think your culpability is lessened in this in that you happened to come across these words, but now you reflect on them. Your age also is a consideration and that you did not desire for this to happen.

Speak with your priest. He has heard it before. He will have other suggestions as to why you continue to reflect on those words you came upon. I agree, it does sound like scrupulosity and the priest can help you with that.

God Bless.

I hope that link works , don’t really know how to do links. but if you go to Ask an
Apologist, and scroll down three thread to , “How to I deal with quilt” thread,
the link is there,

and it talks about thoughts, and how everyone , even when in Church can get bad thought,
its good to listen to it to ease your mind.

What do you know I posted a link, Praise God, its a miracle.

Hi Guys,
I plan on repenting of these sins as soon as possible .
I also saw the person who called the holy spirit " the holy spook" on yahoo answers and I reported him. He had answered someones question on what is blasphemy of the holy spirit and he said " denying the holy spook". I did the right thing in reporting him didn’t I?

Surely you have already repented?

I think your ok , it surely wasn’t you who said this, who did you report him to and what happened to him.

did you listen to the link above in my previous post. It was really good.

When I reported him , his answer was removed. He will probably be sent a violation warning from Yahoo Answers. To Love to Sew:Yes, I did listen to the link you posted about scroupulosity. It was good. Thank you.
