This is just what I needed, I have been going through some things where I tend to dwell on the negative outcome of things even if it's not negative at all. Everything around me at times seems to just pile up. I started washing the dishes and watching your video lol this has really helped me have a better perspective on my situation. And I'm coming out of being slothful. Thank you !

There's a scene in the film Breaker Morant where, in his dream, he's before a firing squad. He asks the captain of the guards who are about to execute him, "For what crime am I guilty?" And the captain replies, "For living a wasted life." That scene has haunted me. Sloth has always been my sadness, even when I was an atheist and called it procrastination. Now that I've been dx with bipolar1, I can see the effects of sloth on my physiology. It's brought me to my knees & only with His help & stregnth AS I PRAY AND ASK FOR IT, will I move foward. It's a sad & heavy, heavy thing, but He can lift it because His burden is light & His mamma's a strong teacher! Praise the Holy Spirit! 🔥

Thank you! Your videos are fantastic. I am not Catholic, but you are so refreshing to listen to and I get so much out of your channel. I do struggle with this sin. It isn't deliberate, I am just usually so afraid that the things I want to do won't amount to anything. My biggest struggle is with my art. In an age where there are so many hyper-talented genius-level creators, it just seems hopeless to put any real effort towards it, although I know it's a gift from God and this is what He wants me doing. How does one overcome this timidity? I know that God does not give us a spirit of fear. I have been through a lot of trauma in my life... And it has left me feeling very broken and constantly beaten down. I don't want to be hindered by this victim mentality anymore.... I want to embrace the gifts that God has given me and enjoy them, rather than constantly feeling like "there's no point" every time I pick up a paint brush. Thank you Bryan. God bless you!!!!!!!

I have a request. Can you make a video on speaking in tongues. Many protestants say they have the gift of speaking in tongues and from my experience as a catholic, we dont put much emphasis on speaking in tongues even though it is written of multiple times in the bible.

I too suffer from an alternately hyper manicky mind or the opposite of lethargic, sluggish almost to the point of paralysis mind, so I know it's a real battle daily! In addition I have suffered insomnia and sleep disturbance my whole life, which made it even harder to get things done in the daytime when I should be working 😱😭 💖But... I found one remedy that has given me a handle on it better than anything I ever tried before... Rosary Prayer ❣️ I'm a Convert to Catholic Faith and I noticed when I started praying a Rosary I would feel calmer and less out of control. But the true *game* *changer* was discovering the full 4 Rosaries daily prayer! From the *very* *first* *time* I tried it I noticed a *dramatic* change to my mood....not gradually but *immediately* I have been called lazy all my life and hated myself for it, but when I started this prayer devotion I noticed I suddenly had the mental and physical energy to do things that I found so difficult to even confront before. If I'm too lethargic and paralyzed it gives me the much needed energy boost to get moving. I literally feel like I've been bound with invisible chains and suddenly they are unlocked and I can move. ... Conversely if I'm demented, hyper with my brain going like 3 million miles per hour Rosary prayer helps me simmer down to the point where I can actually *focus* on something and get it done. I have to repeat the *treatment* throughout my day but who cares? It actually *works* better than anything else I've ever tried including scolding myself and telling myself I should be better and try harder etc! I'm still not 💯 percent but at least I've found a *reliable* tool that has been working daily for close to 3 years now! I started May of 2020 and it has continued working as long as I continue doing it. And I continue to do it because of the *positive* results it keeps giving me. Highly, highly recommend this devotion. I too was inspired by the testimony of others who claimed to have obtained fantastic results with the 4 Rosaries devotion and have now proven with my own experience that this was not a false recommendation❣️❣️❣️ Our Lady Queen of The Holy Rosary pray for us 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖

EBIN, It is true that people who have ADHD have a hard time holding down jobs, staying focused, and other things like that period that is true. But there are medications. I believe that could help with that as well, not to mention trying to discipline yourself. I (Bryan) I'm pretty sure that I have it also, and my mother never put me on medications as a kid even. Though they wanted me to peread with that being said, I have been able to work going disciplining my mind and not letting it run completely rampant as well. I'm not perfect, of course, but we can make growth in this area. I would guess that this would lessen your culpability with sloth, although it's not a complete excuse, but it would definitely lessen the. culpability of it because there's something else going on there that doesn't allow you to be completely free and make choices normally as one normally would.

Could it be that the underlying reason for sloth is actually pride? Sadness at the idea of leading a virtuous life only comes when we rely on our own strength rather than on God's Grace... If we truly relied solely on God - who is both omniscient and omnipotent - wouldn't holiness be easy? Jesus said 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened (and I will give you rest): take my yoke upon you and learn from me that I am gentle and humble of heart, for my yoke is easy and my burden light'. In other words, if we learn from Him to be humble (i.e., rely exclusively on Grace), the burden of leading a virtuous life becomes LIGHT and EASY to bear... If Grace is truly a 'participation in the divine nature', doesn't it follow that we participate in God's Omnipotence (attributed to the 1st Person), Omniscience (attributed to the 2nd Person) and Sanctity (attributed to the 3rd Person) in the exact proportion of our humility? And isn't our understanding of the mystery of Grace a matter of Faith? Perhaps this is why Jesus said: If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’ - and it would obey you...

Yes, a disdain for anything difficult, really.

That video game aided some of my idleness 😆 That dilemma works the other way too in that i.e my Godfather and I chased a dollar and trying to please others (women😒) so hard to as erase all our energy or to a point of giving up and pacify-ing time with idleness and overeating to conquer restlessness when it's dire to get sleep for work again and we're too alert from the caffeine and daylight traffic etc, so indulging in Marijuana and food to fall asleep or stay out of trouble by staying home and watching TV and not going out. This overworking and underpaying lifestyle helped to kill all my relationships and time for religious devotions and quality time for anything else in life which seems impossible anyway. I'm now middle aged with virtually no friends and family at all like the woe to the dilemmas of the book of ecclesiasties. Now finding the strength and reason to try harder at this age seems pointless and a waste of energy. I used to use heavy metal, anger, marijuana and alcohol to embrace the solitude but now I wish there was an all night chapel to pray or like an all night adoration but I'm probably accidentally blasphemous because I would be tempted to do Rosary really high, drunk, and depressed. I don't even try to flirt with any women anymore and I just plan to eventually do i.e Rosary and Saint Michael prayer while very high, drunk, and depressed and playing bass guitar. The gym is a dilemma too. Either half naked women remind me that my life stinks or the martial art gym doesn't welcome me because albeit I'm very good, I'm too old and alarmingly always alone and stay there all day 🤣 Protestantism made me more depressed, but for some reason, exploring Catholicism and eastern Orthodoxy is helping me to stay benevolent because my situation looks so bad that I scare allot of people ... Like even neighbors have called the cops on me for just looking so angry and scary all the time 🤦🏻‍♂️ LOL!!!!!!🤣 For lack of a better word, I worry that I'm just ret*rded and this religious experience I had that's keeping me sane is just my brain thinking Gregorian chants are heavy metal for a mental survival mechanism and that I'll get bored of my new half a** peace.

“Roman Catholic Church,” The term originates as an insult created by Anglicans who wished to refer to themselves as Catholic. They thus coined the term “Roman Catholic” to distinguish those in union with Rome from themselves and to create a sense in which they could refer to themselves as Catholics (by attempting to deprive actual Catholics to the right to the term). Different variants of the “Roman” insult appeared at different times. The earliest form was the noun “Romanist” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which appeared in England about 1515-1525. The next to develop was the adjective “Romish” (similar to something done or believed in the Catholic Church), which appeared around 1525-1535. Next came the noun “Roman Catholic” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which was coined around 1595-1605. Shortly thereafter came the verb “to Romanize” (to make someone a Catholic or to become a Catholic), which appeared around 1600-10. Between 1665 and 1675 we got the noun “Romanism” (the system of Catholic beliefs and practices), and finally we got a latecomer term about 1815-1825, the noun “Roman Catholicism,” a synonym for the earlier “Romanism.” A similar complex of insults arose around “pope.” About 1515-25 the Anglicans coined the term “papist” and later its derivative “papism.” A quick follow-up, in 1520-1530, was the adjective “popish.” Next came “popery” (1525-1535), then “papistry” (1540-1550), with its later derivatives, “papistical” and “papistic.” (Source: Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, 1995 ed.) This complex of insults is revealing as it shows the depths of animosity English Protestants had toward the Church. No other religious body (perhaps no other group at all, even national or racial) has such a complex of insults against it woven into the English language as does the Catholic Church. Even today many Protestants who have no idea what the origin of the term is cannot bring themselves to say “Catholic” without qualifying it or replacing it with an insult.🤔🤔
