Have you looked at how you have changed?

Do you have anything so we can talk to you?

I've become more cynical and sinful in both thought and action with other Women.

I just want to make this shitty thread to vent and have it in the open on a Korean basket weaving forum.

Read the Bible more. What's bothering you as it's either a recent event or leanness sent into your soul.

No point telling me that when I'm in this weird cynicism .

It's constantly in the back of my mind. Used to read everyday /every other day. I think ive just been a bit sad lately. This has been going on for 2 weeks, I'm counting each day that I have been idle from anything to do with Him.

During week one I was sick and didn't get to attend Mass, before then I had gone everyday that I could, mainly 3 days during the week plus obligatory Sunday Mass.

Now that my illness has cleared up, I just feel sad. I know it'll pass eventually but I dont know when.

I feel you. These periods can last a while, and I haven't found a way to make them go away other than just waiting and boiling in boredom and stillness (and not the good kind).

We all have our moments of doubt, mate. Literally everyone does, even the greatest saints. Don't give in to the wishes of Satan.

How how does your prayer life look like? Do you actively go to mass? I'd give Eucharistic adoration a try, it can be a wonderful feeling being in the presence of our Lord.

God bless you and I will be keeping you in my prayers.

I dont have doubt in faith, only in my actions to aid my faith. This Anon seems to know what I'm on about, >>546819

>How how does your prayer life look like?

Terrible.

See >>546780

I have Zero will/push to go to next Mass unless I happen to be nearby at the right time. I feel a bit numb

I havn't felt so strongly about God since I was an unbaptised child in a protestant school learning about God.

Growing up as an atheist, I decided to return to Christ and wished for baptism to begin my Christian life and maybe feel something.

When I got baptised as an adult, I still feel like a stray, like I don't belong. I feel more like I belong in sin, I still stray and feel like I don't belong.

All I can say anon, is that you do belong. Don't stray like me, I have been around sin my entire life and it brings nothing but unhappiness.

The attack of your faith is not common to you, but common to everyone. Confess this sin and be reconciliated.

>>547011

We are all strays before God, grace is unmerited.

I cannot stop sinning.OP is probably heading this way. How can we be good Christians if we do not stop sinning? I will always feel guilty when I go to church, recieving communion, knowing that it won't take long until I sin again. This makes me deeply sad, knowing that i'm not letting myself down, but letting down the highest.

You won't stop sinning until death Anon.

>how can we be good Christians if we do not stop sinning?

Confessing and taking Communion with Christ every Sunday.

>I will always feel guilty when I go to church, recieving communion, knowing that it won't take long until I sin again

…you did confess before taking communion right?

Well I haven't been to church in a while, I'm going to confession on Wednesday but I have done this in the past, yes (usually envy, hatred, masturbation). I stopped going anyway, I knew it was wrong to take communion while having done these since my last confession.

Christanon 10/30/17 (Mon) 19:33:08 aff112 No.547034

Taking Communion without Reconciliation of your mortal sins is itself a mortal sin and an affront to God.

You still have to make your sunday obligation (and holy day obligation, such as on all daints coming up). Like I couldnt receive yesterday but still went and participated in the sacrifice of the mass.

I told you, I can't stop sinning and doing that was wrong, it's why I stopped going to church. I will say this in my confession and perhaps the priest can give me guidance.

If you can't stop sinning, then you should keep going to confession is what I'm trying to impress upon you. If your sin is constant, let your reconciliation be constant.

He's going to tell you that the church was a hospital for the sinners and you were straying farther form the narrow path by abandoning the church than by sinning.

For this issue I recommend St Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life. I recommend as you read it to take notes, seriously make this a habit so you dont read something then forget it later so easily. In the book St Francis speaks about how you have to remove all your affections to sin, and consequently begin to despise and hate sin. As a child pornography, masturbation, drugs etc all seemed ugly and hideous, but now they have become normal. He shows you, through meditations, the way to get rid of these affections.
