If You Want to Make Real Progress and Move Forward

Показать описание
The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal go through a sort of boot camp called Formation. Part of that formation starts with a process they call the discovery of "self-knowledge". Fr. Mark-Mary says that this changed his life—and it can change yours too. You don't have to be a friar to "know thyself". Here's what it will do for you, and here's how to do it.

This is why I Love the gift of the many branches of Science God has designed for us! Sociology, psychology, nuerology, chemistry, biology etc...
These are tools to help us understand each other and ourselves. They are not weapons to be used for moneyary gain or manipulation. God gifted these to us. Do not be afraid or ashamed to learn a little about how and why our brains work the way they do. Having even the most rudimentary understanding of many branches of science has made me appreciate even more so, Gods Creation and the Creator Himself! Ask questions and dive into the answers God has laid out for us. Science is a tool; not a weapon.

I didn't know I had adhd until my daughter was diagnosed. I was. Actually releaved! It explained so much from my childhood. Apparently, girls mask adhd more than boys which is why they think boys get it more. I now accept my shortcomings in a more reasonable manner.

Father, you nailed it with this behavioral analysis. I said this to you before, you would make a great psychologist. Man, you blew me away with your insights. Keep it up.

This was such an insightful message, Father Mark-Mary. Your explanation of the journey from self-knowledge to self-gift really struck me, particularly the emphasis on moving beyond surface-level understanding and truly examining the deeper patterns that shape our actions and feelings. It aligns beautifully with what you discussed on the Poco a Poco podcast—how self-awareness, when approached through prayer and in relationship with Christ, leads not to self-absorption but to transformation and freedom. The idea that we don’t reflect simply to know ourselves better, but to bring what we discover into conversation with Jesus, is powerful. It reframes self-reflection as a relational act, one that ultimately leads to self-possession and the ability to give ourselves more fully to others. Journaling and prayer, as you suggested, are wonderful ways to integrate this process into daily life. Thank you for sharing these deep truths—this truly has the potential to bear lasting fruit. God bless!

Father Mark, I am 66 yrs old and still working on this. I had an aversion to looking at myself until I could no longer ignore it. God’s grace has given me another chance, many actually, to get it right. It’s getting better and journaling will be the Cherry on Top! Bless and thank you!

Thank you for this Father Mark Mary. It is scary trying to know oneself. It has taken me years, and yet, I find myself making decisions that are not like the person I thought I knew. Taking it one day at a time.

I love this! I especially appreciate the examples you use and talking about these different pieces in the larger context of formation.

Too many times I've seen the temptation to bypass these human aspects of formation for the spiritual parts but both are necessary. Human formation is important. Thank you!!

And thank you Socrates! "Know thyself"

Got off an SNRI after 10 years, and boy am I realizing who I am. It's not pretty. 51 and messed up life, with habits that sneaked in. I am terrified as it's a lot to fix while I'm in deep depression and overwhelming fear caused by withdrawal. Trying to pray the Rosary to stay afloat.
