Fighting Lust Before It Grows
(A message from a brother in the battle)

I want to share something deeply personal—because I know I’m not the only one.

Lust has been a real struggle in my life. At first, it was small. I thought I could handle it. I let it crawl into my heart. I stayed silent. I didn’t ask for help. I was ashamed—and honestly, too prideful to admit it. Now, I see how much ground it’s tried to take in my life.

But by the grace of God, I haven’t given up. And neither should you.

We are in a real spiritual battle. The enemy wants to isolate us, shame us, and keep us from the mercy of Christ. But Christ came precisely for sinners—and He gave us the sacraments, especially Confession, to be healed and restored.

Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me fight:
1. Confession is powerful. Don’t wait. Don’t hide. Run to the Lord in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He already knows, and He waits with open arms. His mercy is greater than your sin.
2. Reach out early. Temptation grows in silence. Message someone. Talk to a brother. Don’t let the sin fester in the dark.
3. Guard your senses. What you watch, listen to, and scroll through forms your desires. Be intentional—practice custody of the eyes. Uninstall what you need to. Flee occasions of sin.
4. Fill your soul. Go to Mass, even daily if you can. Pray the Rosary—Our Lady is a fierce protector of purity. Read Scripture. Feed your soul with the things of Heaven.
5. Fast and offer sacrifices. Denying your body teaches your soul to lead. Even small acts—cold showers, skipping snacks, waking up earlier to pray—train the will and unite us to the Cross.
6. Stay hopeful. If you fall, get up. Again and again. Don’t listen to the lie that you’ve “failed too many times.” God’s grace is new every morning. The saints didn’t become saints because they never fell—but because they never stopped turning back to God.

And finally—if you’re fighting lust, or anything else, please don’t be afraid to reach out to this group. No one here is going to judge you. Honestly, your account is private—we don’t even know who you are. You’re not alone. We’re all trying to follow Christ, and we need each other.

This fight is real—but so is God’s mercy. Speak up before it grows. Stand with your brothers. Ask Our Lady to cover you. Go to Confession. Keep getting up.

I’m still in the fight—but I belong to Christ. And I refuse to give up.

Got a new post up!!

Today's topic is pretty interesting, it's a study on temptation through metaphysics

Never ask a based trad ortho what his church's position on divorce or contraception is. And never ask him if they employ female deacons.

Proof of Papal Supremacy

The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk. adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.

Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew

Because of the Bible’s broad semantic range of “brother,” we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, “[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundred…brothers at the same time” (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!

James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesus’ “brothers” (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of Mary—Just not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesus’ “brothers” (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of their Mothers who are called Mary— but Just not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

After St. Matthew’s account of the crucifixion and death of Jesus, he writes:

“There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; among who were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.” (Matt. 27:56; see also Mark 15:40).

These “brothers” are never once called the children of Mary, although Jesus himself is (John 2:1; Acts 1:14).
