how many times God shows us how much He loves us, and yet...

Praise the Lord! Thank you for all you do

Thank you Father

I don’t make promises to God except for marriage vows, I’m human and I will inevitably fail. God is not human, He’s God, that’s why His promises are never broken.

Thank you cause i promised to not sin but i sinned do i needed this ❤❤❤ love the Almighty Father ❤❤

All my promises have more or less to do worh ocd.

What a beautiful video. Thank you 🙏

What an amazing video. Deo Gracias!!!

I made a promise to God that I would stop certain sinful practices. I did very well for a few years, then fell. After that I repented and asked God to please never listen to any promises I ever would make. But I will not make another promise, because I am human, and I will fail. I still do my best to keep the promise however, but I will not make a promise again. I will just repent.

Very clear and really helpful

I don't understand the promise: "If I turned an atheist, I would be removed from the book of life forever." What kind of sense does such a promise make?

it's a good question to ask because it brings up a seemingly justifiable dire consequence.

I agree it is A bit srange to call a conditional like that a promise. I guess it just means, "I promise to never be an atheist." But, that's also a bit odd since believing in God is already a Commandment (no need to promise something already commanded).

I made something like that; May God curse me if I ever turn away from Him (because He has given me great grace, and consolation, such that I thought it impossible). And then I learned otherwise when I did forsake Him. Though I may not have seen it at the time as such, perhaps overconfidence in self rather than God had to do with it. Either way it was imprudent. But thanks be to God, He has called me back yet again.

​@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 Being humble is also a command, but in my experience, christians are extremely arrogant. They only say "you must be humble" to those around them, like they're God. Like the bible didn't apply to them.

Very interesting! Thank you !!

Thank you.

i can’t stop giving into the temptation for temporary satisfaction

I would pray to Jesus for help with this. I think that is the best thing to do. Jesus does exist because one time I prayed for help.. and to this day, my father was there , he saw what happened.. I will just never forget what happened.. he actually heard me AND Sent me help directly. amazing thank you Jesus!

amazing and clear explanation, thank you

For people that are too old (over 35) for religious life, but never married as they never had an interest in marriage, is there such thing as a vocation to the single life? What place do they have in the Church? #askafriar

Hi, I know you want the answer from the friar but rest assured there is absolutely a place in the single life, you can either be part of ministry or you can just be called to a vocation of singleness and chastity which is very holy as well, there are many saints who were not part of ministry nor were married who became great saintly people.

What about good, honorable, even Godly oaths, yet given in less than fully informed conditions, that later, upon being fully informed, one wouldn’t make?

#askafriar I would like to understand how to reconcile "take up your cross and follow me" with the parable of the wise servant gaining from trade from his master's talents. What do we make of humility/mortification, plus achievement?

Thank you so much for the wonderful video! #AskAFriar Is it ok for Catholics to lucid dream?

What if one promised to pray the rosary and would missed praying the rosary on some days.

What about the canon laws about private vows? It says that a pastor can dispense them

What about the unforgivable sin?

1864 "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss. - Catechism of the Catholic Church

You mean the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit...right? I am going to assume that and tell you, it is final impenetance from sin at the moment of death and so the permenant rejection of God's Divine Love. Please please, be more careful about your words! God bless you!

What if you break a promise to Santa? Same thing.

Imagine having the arrogance to turn on a camera and record yourself explaining what happens if you "break a promise to God." The good news is no one is going to be able to check and see if you're correct about any of this.
