This is the fundamental flaw of Stoicism – it breeds spiritual apathy verging on existential nihilism. Virtue is not found in the elimination of the passions, but in subjugating them, and wielding them where necessary in accordance with reason. "There is praise for someone who

Monica ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I was celebrating Mass, and during the readings, I saw a little boy escaping from his mom and dad running towards the back of the Church. His dad kept getting up and bringing him back. I thought to myself: "That dad is doing what God has done for me all my life."

Sola Scriptura is Condemned as Heresy by the Church that Scripture itself identifies as “the pillar and foundation of truth.” Scripture is neither the sole source of Divine Revelation nor the Rule of Faith according to Scripture. History is quite clear that Scripture is

This is very true. It isn’t just a casual act Sex outside of marriage doesn’t prepare you for love, it prepares you for loss. It teaches you how to leave, not how to stay. How to disconnect, not how to endure. It can’t be take back because you gave away what was meant to bind

@FrTotleben92742 I use thermodynamics to teach my Confirmation class. Imagine, if you will, a pressure vessel completely full of water and held @ 32.2°F & ~1 psi. Ice is H2O. Water is H2O. Steam is H2O. (Consubstantial). Ice is not water. Water is not steam. Steam is not ice.

The serpent convinced women that life is all about them and their goals, no matter who it destroys in the process: their marriage, husband, children, home. They will never find lasting joy pursuing selfishness. True joy only comes from sacrificing for those we love, ie. investing

Summertime Queen Bee There are some few reasons for this: 1. For the priest because sometimes we tend to make the parish our kingdom. We need to be humble and “detach.” 2. For the people: so it is not all about the priest (for good or bad). And so other people can enjoy that priest if he is amazing

WHY ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS DO NOT MARRY?🇻🇦🕊️ Yes, once upon a time, especially between the 8th and 11th centuries, many Roman Catholic priests were married. Some even passed down their parishes, church lands, and sacred duties to their biological sons. They were not only
