Sirach 2:14-16

Woe to the duplicitous heart, and to the wicked lips, and to the hands that do evil, and to the sinner who walks the earth by two ways!

Woe to the dissolute in heart, who do not trust God! For, as a result, they will not be protected by him.

Woe to those who have lost endurance, and who have abandoned upright ways, and who have turned aside to depraved ways!

A good read ahead of the solemnity of the Mother of God tomorrow, I strongly recommend that we all consecrate ourselves to Our Lady, the Mother of God

the 7 deadly sins

An excerpt from St Louis De Montford’s “True Devotion to Mary”

“24. God the Son has communicated to His Mother all that He acquired by His life and His death, His infinite merits and His admirable virtues; and He has made her the treasurer of all the at His Father gave Him for His inheritance. It is by her that He applies His merits to His members, and that He communicates His virtues, and distributes His graces. She is His mysterious canal; she is His aqueduct, through which He makes His mercies flow gently and abundantly.”

Me on right btw

Causes of ignorance about the faith and truth include:

- Indifferentism: A lack of concern or interest in religious matters.
- Cognitive Bias: Preconceived notions or mental shortcuts that distort understanding.
- Lack of Resources: Limited access to materials or guidance for learning and deepening faith.

"Truly, it is a deplorable thing that such a widespread profanation of the Name of God, of Christ, and even of the Blessed Sacrament has been introduced among Christians; most sacred Names, which, if not formally blasphemed, are nonetheless taken in vain without any respect or reverence, used as an expression, as an exclamation, or even as an outburst of impatience. However, the Confessor should not judge that they sin mortally every time such irreverent individuals, toward the divine Name or the most august Sacrament, burst out with these words like "God! Holy God! Sacrament!" For although this is a detestable abuse, nevertheless, when these words are uttered without an outburst of anger that implies contempt or rage against the Lord, it cannot be judged that they are guilty of a grave fault. Certainly, they are to be reproved greatly, and all means should be sought to ensure their effective amendment; but the Confessor should not tell them that they sin mortally, nor should he deny them absolution. For these words alone, they would not be guilty of blasphemy, but merely of a vain invocation of the Name of God, which is not a grave sin. Let us hear from the Most Reverend Gousset: “Nor is it properly a blasphemy to pronounce in vain the holy Name of God, saying for example 'for God! by the holy Name of God!' These words, which are more frequently uttered in a moment of impatience, are not against God in the intention of the speaker, but against men, animals, or inanimate beings, towards which anger transports us… On the other hand, if there were any doubt about the existence of blasphemy, a Confessor in practice should behave as though there were no blasphemy.”

-St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, (from the Compendium of the Moral Theology of St. Alphonsus Vol I by Ven. Joseph Frassinetti)

You should not say, "I sinned, and what grief has befallen me?" For the Most High is a patient recompensor.

Do not be willing to be without fear concerning a forgiven sin, and you should not add sin upon sin.

And you should not say: "The compassion of the Lord is great; he will take pity on the multitude of my sins."

For both mercy and wrath go forth quickly from him, and his wrath sets its gaze upon sinners.

You should not delay being converted to the Lord, and you should not set it aside from day to day.

Sirach 5:4-8

Bro really said “I don’t want to be responsible and grow up because I am a man”

He literally framed saying “I’m immature and act like a boy” as I’m a man and nobody is going to tell me what to do! “I’m a big boy I can decide my own bed time” sorta energy

But then again without women, men can’t be men so it’s more compelling evidence he’s a faggot
