I ate a piece of cake while watching it and decided it was okay because it was Sunday. I knew I could’ve and should’ve thrown it away. It just so happened to be the last piece and since I’m planning a change tomorrow, I justified it. I’ve been working from home since last August and tomorrow I start back at the office. I’m happy to go back because I’ve picked up some bad habits. I’m fatter and lazier than I was before working from home. I feel like I’m now addicted to my phone and KZread. I’ve noticed I’ve been commenting a lot lately and not always good things. I’m looking forward to getting back to the office, eating better and less, walking more. Please pray I get back to church, the Eucharist, and the rosary. Thank you for your video!

Hello Friend, I hope you're doing well and always know that Jesus has your back when you're in doubt. Your situation is unique to yourself but I went through something similar during lockdown. Do not despair, you will be able to find the drive deep inside if you want it hard enough. I, you and every other human is capable of absolutely anything(within human capacity of course 🤣) because God gave us free will. My first steps were KZread workouts(I recommend JordanYeohFitness, he does lots of beginner friendly videos), cutting out sugar and also alcohol. In a few years time you'll be thinking of that piece of cake in a completely different way. God bless ✝️

Such an honest testimony ,you speak for so many by putting it out there in words ,may your journey be Blessed always .

I'm recovering from binge eating disorder, and what I learned from it is this - pay attention to what sins you already rejected. Like when I was binging, I hated it, I wanted to be free so badly and I couldn't understand why I couldn't stop. So when I was looking at my sins, I couldn't see past the gluttony where I was eating too much food. But I wanted to be free from that sin and I was asking God to help me. Turns out there was more sin that I HADN'T rejected yet. I had the other kind of gluttony, where you want only the best food, because I was trying to make every bite count so I could like save up willpower or something, because I believed I didn't deserve food, because I felt so guilty about the binging. I had a lot of self hatred and was actually unknowingly restricting my food in an unhealthy self-harm type way whenever I was between binges. I had this pride like I had to get myself under control before God could love me. Those sins of like self hatred, self harm, pride and the other type of gluttony, those were like the one twig where you pull it out of the birds nest and it all falls apart. Once I actually could reject those other sins, my binge eating disorder evaporated, because I already hated that sin and rejected it, and the other bad habits that fed it were getting destroyed. When you restrict food, sometimes it causes you to eat uncontrollably later, and the net result is a huge amount of overeating. So eating the right amount early in the day fixed it. But I had to eat everyday food, not the food I would binge on, and I had to eat it at times where I had tons of self control, where I actually was capable of restricting, at a time where I was desperate to lose weight. It was hard, but healing. I stopped getting uncontrollably hungry, and started getting the normal kind of hungry before meals and tolerating it. I ate lame food and it was actually enough because it wasn't taking the place of feeling loved and loveable lol. All the guilt I felt over my eating disorder I believe was just one big distraction from the devil, trying to take my attention away from where the real sins were. My binging was a sin but a venial sin that was not under my control, the other sins were on purpose and way more important to root out. I highly recommend therapy for out of control eating, it helped me understand what I needed to do to recover.

@@adinadumitrescu9784 The youtube channel "the binge eating therapist" really helped me! God wants you to be healthy, but He loves and accepts your body right now because He knows allowing you to struggle with food right now is the only way to be gentle enough to bring the real you into His love. You're like the little seedling where God is tilling the soil all around you and protecting you so that when it is time to grow, you won't be on rocky ground, you'll have food and water and soil and everything you could ever need. I truly believe you have the body God wants you to have right now, and God cares very much about the huge cross of being over weight and still being desparately hungry. He has so much compassion for you even in the midst of the worst bingeing. I have a little relic of St Teresa of Calcutta on my fridge and I touch it whenever I go to eat, and there is a picture of her smiling with it, and she fed starving people in her life, and it reminds me that even though I'm fat in a first world country, she is still smiling when God uses her to feed me in body and soul. She knows that I have a different kind of hunger and she wants me to be completely filled emotionally and physically. I think she must have been interceding a lot to help me overcome my eating disorder. When I touch her relic I eat joyfully, and I eat healthy food and delicious food and food that calms my senses when they're screaming, and it's no big deal, and then it stops being extreme, and then God establishes temperance in my life without me having to control anything, because I usually can't control things to the extent that I believe I need. God is the one who has control.

Eating normal food, only when physically (not just mentally) hungry. A small plate. Chew each bit with gratitude and sip between. Eat as slowly as possible. Stop when just full-not stuffed. No dieting. Just listen to God given signals of hunger and fullness in my stomach. When emotional or mental desire appears that is not actual stomach hunger - I turn to God instead. Chew on the Word. Sobriety. Temperance. Total honesty. Surrender. God makes it possible.

The Japanese have something called Hara Bun Me, where they eat till they feel about 80% full, then stop. It’s tough to do but clearly works for them.

It is interesting that you coupled both gluttony and lust in this talk. I am definitely plagued by both of these vices, and it is apropos that they are treated together because, at least from my own self-reflection, I believe they share a common culprit. At least in my life, both sins are driven by the void that is left as a result of a lack of meaningful connection with others. This is the impetus for my excess consumption of many things, food being one of them,, and my frequent engagement in sexual sin. Your words on this topic, Mthr. Natalia, are like a healing balm on an open wound. God bless you.

I think #1 thing to begin doing before eating is taking a moment to thank God for it. Just get in that habit for everything that enters your body.

I’ve always been thin and have eaten healthy for most of my adult life but I felt very convicted about gluttony when I converted this year. I did something food related which was very difficult for lent and I failed multiple times and that was very eye opening for me, someone nobody would look at and think I have a problem with gluttony. Thank you for posting this as I seem to have let that thought slip from my mind once I got pregnant- I’ve been very food driven and seem to have *forgotten* that God has given us a spirit of self control even when we are pregnant :)

Thank you for this message there is nothing to me like feminine wisdom like this it’s important we hear from our sisters/ mothers to zero in on what us as men need to fix in our spiritual life. We NEED these truths. Beautiful message

I’ll be honest i have hard time hearing Catholic speakers talk about things related to lust. It’s refreshing to hear from what the Fathers say about it rather than the same old BS of “pray more rosaries! Fast more! Man up! Get covenant eyes!” I’ve tried all those things and they will not cure of the vast majority of people of lust addictions. We need to get to the core of what are problems are, which I think Mother Natalia really understands.

I think the main reason why Lust is so common in our society is that loneliness is on the rise. Social media exists solely to remove that barrier (loneliness) between people so they can at least pretend to socialize. One common problem I'm constantly seeing is that people don't want to hear or do what doesn't benefit them some way or another which is basically the same thing Natalia said. It's kind of like the "every man for himself" mentality but it enables social cliques seeking the same "goals" which in time gives origin to loneliness because it's essentially competition.

I would love to see a dialogue that divorces desire from lust. For example, the body desires a baby-that’s what it was designed to do. I’m denying it because God is denying it to me. Lust is almost undetectable in this equation. It’s more akin to giving an obnoxious child at a wake an extra piece of cake so they will leave you alone for a few minutes. It’s a weak attempt to starve off the body’s monthly grief from not getting what it wants… I want to know how to handle sin that’s entangled with an anatomical, hormonal, and biological God-given urge. The desert fathers know nothing of ovulation aches, but a nun might!

Thank you very much for this video. Gluttony and lust are so easy for us all to fall into. And you touched on something in lust that made me curious about these two that I wonder if I could get clarity on for the sake of understanding. I ask humbly as I am also concerned that I am in a wrong state of thinking of these vices. As of ten years ago I had come to develop (or perhaps stumble upon in ignorance of the awareness of similar conclusions from those smarter than myself) a wider definition of gluttony and lust (as well as the other vices but as these are the two discussed they are the ones I will address). I saw gluttony as the misuse of anything and lust as the misuse (or in this case use) of people, both for one’s own satisfaction or ambition. I had always associated gluttony with food and lust with sex, but that seems to have pigeonholed the sins where we rarely hear of things like the gym-going glutton or the compassionate deviant. I especially think of addictions as a form of gluttony as while not food are the misuse of things that can sometimes be used responsibly for good means and ends. And further from this I think of porn addiction as a manifestation and representation of how close gluttony and lust are in that they are both the misuse of what is real and good. Even if someone who is addicted to porn has never had intercourse with someone else they are still in a sinful state of lust. What I mean to ask then is: is my view of gluttony and lust misidentification of other sins or misguided? With my thinking be so broad compared to the thinking of church fathers I wonder if I’m being too broad? Over-scrupulous? Please pray for me as I intend to do the same. As excellent work like this should get people thinking, and it certainly has. Well done.

Dr Pitre has a great talk on 'pornea'. Dr Brant does a great job explaining it. Gio him a listen to.

Mother, thank you for your direction

Lust is a difficult one to deal with because, the modern culture endorses it. It is inescapable, in movies, online, everywhere. Today's youth have a higher grade to climb because, they have media in their hands. In my era, we had to obtain magazines, or obtain movies, to watch nudity.

Thank you God for Mother Natalia ✨🫶✨

Thank you 🙏

Mother, you brought up a very interesting aspect of Lust. This disintegrated and disordered view of others is something that I know I have struggled with. Whether it is treating friends and even family in a mercinary manner, or thinking the worst of a panhandler and of course the ease of responding in an uncharitable manner online. I would love to say that I see Christ in others, that divine spark that dwells within us all. I seem to be able to do so in hindsight to my great shame. I hope and pray that we may all truly see, one day soon. May we see and love each other as Christ sees and loves us. 🙏

❤

Our culture doesn't talk sin, or mention gluttony. We are in search of proteiens,carbs,etc. Right formula is food paradise. 1000 books later we are sicker and more enslaved. Acknowledged sin, trust God's mercy and receive freedom.

I would say the external is always a manifestation of the internals ("from the fountain of the heart the mouth speaks", after all). I believe when Paul speaks of "do not let your adornment be merely outward", among other things, he speaks that we can change the outward and fail to address the inward. We can be whitewashed tombs - dressed in fine garments and looking sharp, and have nothing of solidity or holiness filling our innermost being. We can take the Islamic or Jewish approach to righteousness and manage our outward deeds, without a transformative power and repentance and death and resurrection. Our adornment is to be inward first. That verse does not condemn excellence in dress or the wearing of a nice clothing or jewelry at all, though it is often twisted as though it does. Elsewhere, Jesus Himself exhorts believers to dress in a joyful manner when fasting - which would have meant putting specific effort toward one's appearance for the sake of looking nice, as opposed to sack cloth or ashes, which would draw attention to our sacrifice. In that expression, outward adornment was actually equated with the same spirit that prayed in secret places. Outward adornment was actually humility in this moment, and kept our small sacrifice a secret between us and God, sanctifying it and inviting His glory in the place of man's recognition. What a fascinating thought. There can be great beauty and glory in fashion submitted to the Lord. It speaks to where out treasure is, and could be applied just as much to exercising and the development of physique as to our dress and fashion, as the same motive can drive both of those - for better or for worse. What drives the adornments we choose? What drives the exercise or development we seek? Who do we worship with those acts and the fruit they sow to? That, to me, is a powerful question to entertain regularly - not with surrendered reverence. Let your adornment be inward first and foremost, and let your outward reflect that submission - be it humble and unremarkable in one season, or excellent and colorful in the next - holy in both forms. If I have learned anything, it is that I am to be submitted and adorned with glory and holiness inwardly, and that my outward expression will be lead by my Lord. I will not for a moment say that I am good at that, but I am learning, and He is both faithful and good at His job, and strong in my weakness.

Totally agreed and touched by the gluttony part. Help me God! But about the sexual sins, not too convincing. These days there's no concept of hurting or looking at the soul of a person because both men and women do the impure acts out of their free will. So, appealing to that part of people will not touch a chord. I can't say what will, but it didn't touch mine.

Pints(with Aquinas) of liquor is also gluttony and usually leads to drunkenness

I think the obsession with healthy eating is gluttony too.

I've just started to implement some of those mini fasts that you bring up, and it's been immensely helpful, both physically and spiritually. I've struggled since I was a kids with weight and my prayers to lose weight seem to go unanswered. but simple things such as not buying a snack to eat in the car on the way home from the grocery, not snacking in general, but not only that but to offer it up for reparations. And I always do that when they bring the wrong food! after I saw my aunt do it. She waited tables most of her life, so when they messed up an order for our huge party, she looked at the plate the confused waitress had and said "what is that? that looks good, I'll just have that!". So I always do that, I always tell them I'll just take that, but make sure its not meant to go to another table, so it doesn't cause a snowball effect.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches an infant is born of the Spirit when baptized. That is a lie concerning the essential experience of being born again (John 3:3; Romans 8:9). First of all, no infants are baptized in the New Testament and no where are we told to baptize infants. Secondly, one is born of the Spirit through faith in Messiah Jesus (John 3:16), an impossibility for an infant.

Yes, the soldier who is baptized then goes home and has his whole home baptized. It is considered by Chutch fathers that this man's household included an infant.

Peter, If you have doubts about Catholic sacraments and practices I found the best way to handle the doubts is to research and study and not to post about them on social media. Your belief about infant baptism is a “tradition of men” so maybe doubt your own doubt by silent research
