Ambrose Little, O.P., we will attempt to provide some answers.

I don’t make promises to God except for marriage vows, I’m human and I will inevitably fail. God is not human, He’s God, that’s why His promises are never broken.

[anthonyw]

how many times God shows us how much He loves us, and yet...

[TCM]

Praise the Lord! Thank you for all you do

I made a promise to God that I would stop certain sinful practices. I did very well for a few years, then fell. After that I repented and asked God to please never listen to any promises I ever would make. But I will not make another promise, because I am human, and I will fail. I still do my best to keep the promise however, but I will not make a promise again. I will just repent.

[DarkBowserr]

i can’t stop giving into the temptation for temporary satisfaction

I don't understand the promise: "If I turned an atheist, I would be removed from the book of life forever." What kind of sense does such a promise make?

[drakovis]

For people that are too old (over 35) for religious life, but never married as they never had an interest in marriage, is there such thing as a vocation to the single life? What place do they have in the Church? #askafriar

[MapleGS]

amazing and clear explanation, thank you

[nategraham]

What about good, honorable, even Godly oaths, yet given in less than fully informed conditions, that later, upon being fully informed, one wouldn’t make?

[philippbosnjak]

All my promises have more or less to do worh ocd.

[myobnvm]

Thank you so much for the wonderful video!

#AskAFriar Is it ok for Catholics to lucid dream?

[nancywilschke]

#askafriar I would like to understand how to reconcile "take up your cross and follow me" with the parable of the wise servant gaining from trade from his master's talents. What do we make of humility/mortification, plus achievement?

[CatholicMailman]

What if one promised to pray the rosary and would missed praying the rosary on some days.

What about the canon laws about private vows? It says that a pastor can dispense them

[AndreMoraes-uj]

#AskAFriar - My big doubt about faith: If God knows all things and allows everything that happens, wouldn't that be the same thing as predestination? Does our free will really exist?

[jeffcbuchacher]

I must be missing something: I don’t understand the what this promise means or what breaking said promise entails.

[jackpowell]

What if you promise to god but you break in playing a game. My promise was if I lost my game I would not say I like two girls but can I still say I like the girls

What about the sin of the Holy Spirit? And what is the sin of the Holy Spirit?

[MikeTMike]

What if you break a promise to Santa?
Same thing.
