If You Think God Can't Forgive You Again (feat. Fr. Jonah Teller, O.P.)

After running to confession in the the sacrament of reconciliation over and over again, things can start to get disheartening. A demonic little voice in our heads can start to say "you're never going to be free of this." But this is a blatant lie.

God can—and will—forgive any sins that we're truly sorry for. The only thing God can't work with is that very lie—the despair that he won't forgive us again, that we can't be free of its grasp.

Fr. Mark-Mary, CFR and Fr. Jonah Teller, O.P. tell us how to endure the storm of sin and cling to God—no matter what.

I don't know how you do it again, Fr. Mark-Mary, but I'm in the midst of despair from the same sins over and over, having JUST gone to Confession, thinking about how this will never end and I even want to die instead of sinning again...and here you are with this video. God bless you, truly.

"From misery to misery we go from mercy to mercy."

"Hope, not despair in God's promises."

"Nothing else in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. "

ST. JOHN VIANNEY: “The good Lord knows everything. Even before you confess, he already knows that you will sin again, yet he still forgives you. How great is the love of our God that he even forces himself to forget the future, so that he can grant us his forgiveness!”

I’m so very grateful for priests who have devoted their lives to the edification of Christ’s people! What a burden it must be to be responsible for the souls of a congregation. May we flock to Christ’s mercy and build up our priests by our constant desire to be fully reconciled to God!

It’s so easy for me to get discouraged with habitual sin. Thank you Father, for giving inspiration and encouragement.

Met Fr. Jonah in NY as I was walking at the Washington Square. Was on vacation, introduced
myself as a priest, gave him blessing, got to see his parish. Great guy!

I always pray that I become a successful Catholic Social Media Influencer to spread the teachings and Revelations of the Catholic Church and the entire Christendom. I hope and pray the Devotion to the Eucharist and the Holy Souls in Purgatory helps me.

Our Lady of Immaculate Heart, pray for us

My priest told me to read Romans chapter 8 as a penance one when I was sad with myself… wow. Yes. That’s a game changer.

I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47, 000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️

I am in OCIA. Getting ready for first confession. Oh, the list of what I need forgiven is disheartening.

This was a wonderful and much needed message. One of my many faults is being hard on myself far too much when making a sin and not realizing that God knows we will sin and wants to forgive. I was just praying for help with this today and not surprisingly this video cones out to show me! Thank you for always providing such wonderful wisdom

[rruiz]

Thank you for this message! This was God talking to me! God has proven to me that he does not leave my side and he is merciful and yet I felt I was not worthy of him! Thank you Father Almighty for loving us the way you do! Blessings everyone!
