It’s our job to sanctify ourselves, our spouse, if we have one, and our children and everyone around us, if we want to fulfill God’s Will. We aren’t called to treat ourselves better and do our will all the time. The Nuns taught us well in the forties and fifties. How I wish everyone on earth could hear this sermon and put it into practice. Thank you Father and God bless you.

Thank you Father. This makes sense. I ask God to help me learn what He wants me to do and what He wants me to do in all circumstances with all people so His will is always done and not my will. This video has helped me to make sense of why God has allowed me to be in what can only be described as a Spiritually Challenging, depressing, situation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it is helping me to heal, pray more, love God more and depend on God.

I am so disappointed right now. Love Father's sermons but I am a survivor of domestic violence and it is PRECISELY this sort of teaching that caused me to stay in the cycle of abuse. I felt I had a RESPONSIBILITY to fix a person who did not want to look within himself and turn to God and get help.

martina karpeh consider that Fr. Ripperger always gives general principles in his sermons and talks. So in your particular case you have to apply not only this criteria but other important ones. And of course it is also important to review if you understand all this principles well and if you apply them with prudence. I send you a fraternal greeting in Christ.

God does not want us to be doormats. In cases of abuse, or even in the normal course of life, there are times in which we must not sit placid by and seek not to change our circumstances. Maybe God wants you to leave that job because He has a better one awaiting you. In my case, I got bullied by my landlord to move out. It came to the point where he was harassing me and the oldet, long-term tenants. God wanted me to move,, and He provided a much better apartment for less rent in a better neighborhood. One must pray to the Holy Ghost for discernment. Obviously, one is not free to leave a spouse and find another, but sometimes it is God's Will that sever ties with certain persons.

You can be a beacon of love. Not worrying about who the person is hardwired to love, but focusing on your work, and if you feel called to, praying for the person and asking for Him to make sure that you are who He wants you to be. Not out of some sort of false sense of pride, but of being self-aware of your own faults. Jesus came and sat among us, sinners. People of fault. Just as He said at the end, what will you do or rather, would you let God determine your next move? He didn't push the tax collectors and others away; He went and sat amongst them. Entrust the situation to God, and make it your focus to be who He wants you to be. Don't overstep, but in my experience, He could actually use you or certain situations you're in to actually make a deep impact to draw souls home.

I understand the point being made in terms of marital relationships, but there needs to be some realization that there is also , in some cases, mental illness and personality disorders which can be hidden or masked early in the relationship and when finally exposed can be deeply damaging, in particular to the children.

@@TheCatholicGirl Don't put that on yourself. These people can be very smart, very creative, very convincing. And unless we have dealt with or understand the subtle traits (at the beginning) to watch for, it's VERY easy to be drawn into their world and then, at least for me, the switch is turned and the real person starts to come out. And the frustrating thing is outsiders talk to us like "you have to work it out" because who THEY see is this charming, wonderful person. They are not understanding that , at least in many cases, there IS a very, very different person when all the guests are gone. This is a very deep, dark injury on their mind and heart. For me, we had 7 years of couples therapy and there was never any effort at all the change one thing for them and in some ways it made it worse trying to be honest in a session. Then the fury that was unleashed was even more intense. No one understands unless you live with it.

@@TheCatholicGirl you and your family are in my prayers for peace and healing as well as your ex husband. He is one of God's children as well and living in his own torment and would that he be healed... we can only hope and pray. It may sound too mechanistic but with so much mental illness around us, we may be at a time where personality and emotional tests are part of the marriage process... AND / OR... people get more educated about how to spot these issues and be patient enough to let them manifest and accept that what you see is what it is. We can't take on healing people with serious mental challenges within a marriage. We can pray, support, guide, but to bring a person with significant challenges KNOWINGLY into our lives is an extremely high risk decision.

is this cognitive reframing? It implies no free will, our own or others. Many of our circumstances are caused by our own dumb mistakes. The lesson is pray for direction frequently and if you end up in a bad circumstance pray for strength to overcome it or deal with it.

No - it absolutely implies free will. You are free to align with God (whose Wisdom knows what will benefit you) and life. - - or - - You can do whatever you please - - including things that are harmful to yourself - and don’t benefit your growth. Plenty of sins to choose from (pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony + lust). Christ came to offer us a “re-alignment plan” (so to speak) - - aka - - rebirth (re-creation / sanctification) 😇🕊️

But there is a problem with this reasoning. If a father leaves his family he changes the circumstances of his children and wife but you would still say it was God who put you into that situation. So in the end it's not the fault of the father but God's. The father actually served God by leaving his family so God could bring them into those circumstances. That doesn't make any sense.
@icedsassyamericana

God allow "bad things" to happen. God didn't make the man leave his family. Likewise God would never have the will to make the man commit adultery. So it's never in God's will to commit a sin, so no the father didn't serve God by leaving his family but God did allow it. Because of free will we humans ourselves make bad decisions. But God is always in control, and like a GPS if we make a wrong turn he calculate a new route so we still can get to our destination. In this we can follow God and His will. But if we or other people don't, we can't blame God or say that it was His will. But instead find comfort knowing He is ever loving and ever knowing of all things.

Well Fr Ripperger. Dr Peterson gave the second rule. Make friends with people who wants what's best for you. I am not the benevolent son of God. Sometimes, I have to walk away for my own good. My mental health is important. My need to be treated with respect is important. And my safety and well being are also important. If the person doesn't want to be saved, I cannot help him. He has to want to be saved before he can be saved. You might say that this is just pure selfishness and narcissism. And you may be right. But maybe it's also just a stroke of humility to not overestimate your strength and capacity and underestimate the situation. Maybe sometimes, it's just also the humility to accept that maybe, the person doesn't want to be saved at all and is just satisfied to being unsaved. Or our wanting to save may not come from a pure place and may be driven also by pride. So no. If the person doesn't want to be saved, I cannot help him.
