Give up something you mentally rely on. I am giving up coffee.
William Morgan
shit this is difficult
Evan Price
With God all things are possible.
Kayden Jones
I fast every week, the Catholic church is a pagan system of governance and a bunch of baby fucking psychotics.
Levi Foster
I see
>the Catholic church is a pagan system of governance and a bunch of baby fucking psychotics. stop crying prottie
Chase Ross
Can i be a catholic and still hate the pope?
Justin Anderson
this is wat build society. striving for difficult things. endure, sacrifice for others and for God. may Christ guide our will so we can keep our passions under control and achieve the graces needed to rebuild what has been lost with modernism
Hmm this timing is weird. >Atheist since birth, never raised religious >Been getting spiritual lately >More and more finding myself praying and thinking of god >Last few days random and sudden urge to give up a bunch of mental crutches like weed. >Find out it's apparently time for lent and apparently that is about giving things up? I may have just started a couple days early. Anyone want to help a newfag with some advice?
Brandon Jones
Amen brother. The church is corrupt, but the teachings of our lord are forever pure and true. Ave maria and deus vult!
If you're not catholic or maybe orthodox you're automatically going to hell and most "catholics" are probably going to hell anyway
Angel James
legit, this is the same for me
Logan Cook
Ortho lent starts next monday my dudes.
Ian Brown
I am inspired by your faith, so I will try your advice. I shall pray to God that he might show pope francis the truth and the light so that he will cease being a traitorous heathen devil. That being said, I have always found Catholics to be good people in general, so i have no hate there.
Lent is the journey home to God before Easter. Deny yourself worldly pleasures and vices (to an appropriate level, don't go full John the Baptist immediately), focus on repentance, how you have failed in serving God, be attentive of your sins pray more, give more to others. It's a struggle if you're doing it properly but there's nothing more fulfilling than that feeling of returning like the prodigal son.
You guys are weak compared with the Muslims. You still eat during the day, and you even break Lent on Sundays. pfff
Luis Rogers
I respect the actual Buddhist monks, they did nothing wrong, the only thing that went wrong was that they didn't know Jesus until at least a thousand years later. I would not wish them the fires of hell, only God knows what will happen to them
Alexander Thomas
i understand brother. some say we have the leaders we deserve and i think this is true in the case of Pope Francis. contraception/abortion is the greatest sin in the last 50years and we should work/pray to stop it
Indeed. I was raised protestant but I dont like certain things about their ways of worship. Ive been debating for awhile about whether to become Catholic or Orthodox. My only hesitation of Catholicism has come from disgust for this left wing pope. Still, a church is more than one man. What are your thoughts on this matter brother?
Catholics do, but Orthodox Lent is >no meat, eggs, dairy, alcohol, or oil for 40+ days, including sundays >avoid eating to fullness >increase pray and almsgiving >going to extra services as often as possible >intense self reflection
It's a lot more difficult than not eating during the day and eating like pigs after sunset while having no spiritual growth or meaning.
remember that the abstinence is only means to an end and not the point itself, my first lent I got caught up in the fasting and didn't focus on the spirit of it.
>It's a lot more difficult than not eating during the day and eating like pigs after sunset while having no spiritual growth or meaning. Yeah, the muzzies are full of it too.
Happy to have Brother's brought back from atheism. Don't let this new world convince you there is only room for the natural; all of Creation testifies that God is Lord and Jesus is the Kings of Kings! Digits or not, this will always be the final truth and redpill.
i would encourage u to listen to E. Michael Jones i usually make some threads here about his interviews and he has talked a lot about the Pope and the homossexual scandals involving Jesuits. He is a great American Catholic warrior of our time. Hopefully he can shine a light in your heart >youtube.com/watch?v=qnZXo6TZyZw
Great Lent is very serious in the Orthodox Church, a lot of the TradCaths also take it seriously but unfortunately for a lot of the laity it's just giving up soda or chocolate and eating fish on Fridays.
>pray for souls in purgatory >pray in latin >monarchist >considers celibacy >Anna Katarina Emmerick >Consecration to Mary >Saint Louis-Maria Monfort >daily Rosary on the knees >Carmelite Breviarium
Hide all dead Jew threads, Ignore all dead Jew threads.
Nathaniel Sullivan
Do Catholics really believe in Emmerich's visions?
Jose Anderson
>Proceeds to drown Europe into hundreds of years of constant war >starts a bunch a ice cream sundae "churches" >weakens the Catholic church to the point where it became the way it is today At least you did one thing right Marty, at least you pointed out the Jews
Leo Rodriguez
they believe jesus is a piece of bread do you really foresee any extent to their retardation?
Oliver Anderson
The catholic church is a disgusting perversion of the Gospel and I pray I see the Vatican destroyed like the Second Temple in my lifetime.
Jonathan Nelson
Fair
Jaxson Wright
Saint Peter grave was found due to her visions, if i recall correctly. thats one of the way we can confirm its legit
Lol Saint Peters Basilica is only as old as the 1800s got it
Zachary Brown
Hallelujah, God be praised! Keep me, my family, my friends, and my fellow anons forever close
Isaac Baker
If only American Christians weren't such selfish assholes i'd be on board, been shit on by family and people here too much to care, let em get enriched by muslims for all I care, fuck em.
Also fuck boomer christianity.
Jack Brooks
Says the branch that preaches about faith only to the point that a cock-slurping whore and her bastard child can be "saved" by simply believing in Jesus. Catholicism teaches faith and WORKS
Dude you have no idea how bad it can get in some areas. The more liberal an area is, the more they preach SJW shit like "muh refugees" Shit like that drove me away from the closest catholic church near my old uni. But then I went to mass for a funeral in a town in the midwest and none of that shit was mentioned
based and redpilled, stay true to the teachings of Christ; anyone who declares himself to be the sole interpreter of of God is a heretic.
Anthony Ross
at this point I keep my bible with me as close as I can
David Walker
At this point I unironically want to go on a modern crusade. Also what's your favorite translation?
Grayson Cooper
Actually, I do. Have family in San Francisco, they'd leave if they could. I worked in Seattle for damn near 4 years, my fucking god let the kebab have it. Almost all the men there were either gay or had Asian girlfriends, the women were enough to make your dick retreat inside you. The churches there weren't any better, the parishoners were the fucking worst. Hail our rainbow haired overlords but fuck everyone else. Funny how now the homeless problem they chose to ignore is so bad it's threattening their brats, even funnier how no one gives a shit. Nah, fuck that. I demand accountability, when I see them acting like they used to back in the day with charity i'll change my mind. Till then I say let the sand niggers enrich and kill the entitled fuckers. Machiavelli and Huckleberry Fin Master Race. Also Jefferson bible FTW.
Carter Hughes
Here is a passage to keep close to your hearts during Lent, you would do well to keep this in mind
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die." Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more. As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man There are only four things certain since Social Progress began. That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire; And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins
Amen, men cannot ever succeed without Christ. Only Christ is self-sufficient, and through him we find sufficience.
Lucas Flores
I don't practice kike religions or kike practices so no thanks. Just let me know when you stop fucking little boys and start killing Muslims again
Eli Robinson
giving up 1. pizza 2. any fast food 3. soft drinks 4. chocolate 5. porn
Jonathan Jenkins
Dude, why? Crusades were cool and what not, but if you're going to remove kebab, do it the Mongol way. Not only did they do the best job, Genghis Khan was the first guy ever to let mother nature take back what men had taken from her. He had the balls to do what the west could not, kill every man, woman and child that stood in his way, brutal AF but hey, it worked lol.
Isaiah Powell
Son this is an 18+ board and Im sure you have homework.
Blake Phillips
this based and redpilled, materialism is decadent, those who do not fear the wrath of God will have that wrath instilled in him during the second coming.
