I broke my nofap streak. Forgive me, faddah...

I have never enjoyed a novel. Non-fiction will always be the super medium for conveying ideas, and .music for aesthetic value

>>14591810
no

>>14591827
Okay

I'm trying to cope with the fact that everything I do is a cope. I dont think i'm gonna make it.

>>14591819
shit's hard dude

>>14591819
it's ok son, just make a new one :)

The book I'm reading right now is just too damn erudite for me, but I have too much pride to stop now.

>>14591819
It happens, but seek the actual sacrament of reconciliation and redouble your efforts. We are all weak sometimes, brother, and I hate every time I relapse myself.

>>14591810
why is he so fat? does a big priest confess you stronger?

faith is personified without the i and h in man.

i have masturbated to butterfly. i hate him so much i get a rage boner so i imagine im raping him to death while i jerk off furiously

>>14592005
mind=blown
so the fat clergy normies ridicule as "gluttons" were the saints all along

Has anyone here actually confessed in real life?

>>14592020
Yes. I try to do it at least once a month now. It is one of the most beautiful sacraments, but many people are afraid to use it out of shame. Do they really think they can hide anything from God?

>>14592015
that they are bound by the fleshly iniquity does not restrict them from their holy purpose, and in fact, it is their act of absorption of sin from confessors that shows such distension in their bearing. without these hellsponges to both absorb and absolve, no man could enter heaven.

i'm a jew. at 14, i furiously jerked off to hatefucking a mid-ranking SS officer in full uniform while he spits curses, all fighting and violence, and every time after i coomed there was an afterimage of him nervously chuckling with his buddies saying he got in a fight

>>14592040
i bet you do cocaine and play chess.

>>14592048
i do hash and play domino

>>14592020
Yes, I go every other week. It helps me keep accountable and it's therapeutic to examine oneself, cast away ones misdeeds and put it in the past.

The very fact that these sorts of threads exist express something about the nature of man needing to purify himself. It is interesting to see how purification rituals are a universal element of anthropology and make there way in other societal structures.

Fell in love with the narrator of "diary of a country priest". I didn't finish it because I don't want him to cease. Instead of reading the rest, I sit in the dark room thinking about my country veterinarian weirdo persona comforting him and curing his stomach sickness.

>>14591810
I haven't written since October. I blame school, and there's truth in that, but it's mostly bad habits.

The thought that I can never un-watch all the depraved porn I've seen is defeating. I hope I'm strong enough to leave it behind and to be forgiven. Also I'm afraid to start making calls for a thing I'm required to do.

On the plus side, I find "praying" before bed, if you can call it that, since I'm talking to myself, helpful in making me not feel miserable. My next step should be to believe that someone hears me.

Is masturbation a sin, bros? I want to do it so bad but I don't want to break my promise yet again.

>>14592274
a lesser sin than consooming porn.

>>14592020
Yes, but not on any regular basis.

>>14592274
Officially it is a "grave matter." So yes, it is undoubtedly a sin. I have heard the semantics of it being a mortal versus venial sin, but ultimately it is not something trivial and you should repent and seek to remove it from your life.

I joined a bunch of Quakers once for silent prayer. Forgive me for deviating from the true church.

>>14591810
I secretly want to put some really /d/ tier six scenes and links in my adventure novel but know it’s a terrible idea

>>14591810
consent disgusts me more than rape

>>14592011
Are their pics of butterfly floating about? See what I did there? ;)

I am a bit of a newfriend and am trying to wrap my jead around the hate for this person.

>>14591810
I am duch a fucking slow reader. And I mean snail pace. I get really easily distracted, and I don't take in what I read and sometimes reread whole pages. It means I read 10 pages in an hour if I am lucky, and yet probably read twice that by word count. Its just the same ones over and over again. Help me bros.

I just coomed to bestiality porn

I'm unironcially in love with Anne Frank.

Hiding something from God is very different than hiding something from a mortal priest, who are often quite judgemental and happen to be people that you know

a pleasant slim grey-haired priest once said i have a beautiful voice and my drawings are nice, over a year later the memory still gives me a half-boner

I get the sneaking suspicion that due to mass surveillance, my own constant use of technology, and other reasons, people know me better than I want to believe. This is more of a pain than a comfort because of how much I dislike myself.

>>14592020
Everyone has to before recieving first communion. After that, all Catholics are required by church law to go at least once a year.

I just farted and it smells terrible, like actually acidic.

I tried to rope myself a couple months ago and soon after stopped going to church. I haven't really recovered and often fantasize about completing the act at some point, being judged at the last Judgement, and spending eternity alone in Hell regretting everything I've done, and I think a lot about how even though I'm aware of the consequences of what I have done I willingly choose to continue committing depraved sins rather than change myself, and this awareness makes me feel even more filthy and worthless.

I've never heard of that.

>There was a pear tree close to our own vineyard, heavily laden with fruit, which was not tempting either for its color or for its flavor. Late one night--having prolonged our games in the streets until then, as our bad habit was--a group of young scoundrels, and I among them, went to shake and rob this tree. We carried off a huge load of pears, not to eat ourselves, but to dump out to the hogs, after barely tasting some of them ourselves. Doing this pleased us all the more because it was forbidden. Such was my heart, O God, such was my heart--which thou didst pity even in that bottomless pit. Behold, now let my heart confess to thee what it was seeking there, when I was being gratuitously wanton, having no inducement to evil but the evil itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my own undoing. I loved my error--not that for which I erred but the error itself. A depraved soul, falling away from security in thee to destruction in itself, seeking nothing from the shameful deed but shame itself.

It is one of the six precepts of the church. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precepts_of_the_Church

>>14595325
I don't know how I never knew that. The rest of those things were so ingrained into me growing up, but never confession.

Thank you though! God bless, brother.

>When he writes about boasting of sin being the worst kind.
It was a punch in the chest. I've been there and am very careful now to not brag of the sinful tales and sagas of my younger years.

>>14595396
Saint Augustine pray for us.

>>14595157
Talk to your priest; make a confession and do penance. Build up a prayer life. Praying for 20 minutes a day can change everything. It can reorient your soul back to harmony with God. Try the Rosary for starts.

>>14591827
Have a good day.

>>14593196
You can still receive the Sacrament of Confession if you have not yet been full welcomed to the Church. Check with your Parish Priest about the RCIA program. If it doesn’t work for your schedule see if he can reach you himself. When I took my RCIA I nearly left because of the person leading it.
Godspeed to you brother, Christ be with you.

>>14592377
The Devil often leads us astray by making us believe ourselves on the path to Righteousness. Discern your spirit well and stay true to our Mother Church.
I am no Priest, please receive the Sacrament of Confession from a True Priest.
Christ be with you Brother.

Speak with your Parish Priest about this. You need a spiritual director in life to guide you. Get involved in Parish events and activities, join a prayer group and get to know the Family.
Praying for you Anon. God be with you, Christ watch over you, the Holy Spirit wrap itself about you, and may our Most Blessed Mother Hold your hand every step of the Road you walk.

Written like a protestant. You do not understand the true beauty in the sacrament of reconciliation.
