Why should we accept sorrow as if it is coming from God? Doesn’t that go against God’s loving nature?If we are supposed to offer ourselves to suffer more, does that mean we shouldn’t be allowed to have leisure or enjoyable moments and instead just pursue sacrifice and suffering?How can we trust the goodness of the Lord?If Scripture tells us that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is an unforgiveable sin, then how can St. Francis say that we could never commit more than God can forgive? Related to that, if God’s forgiveness is boundless, how does anyone enter hell?If we can “lose salvation,” then why should we not fear death? What gives us the right to have hope?How can we form greater friendships with the blessed in heaven, as St. Francis says? How are these friendships similar to those on earth? Or different?The recipient of this letter asked that they be released from a hardship that they have suffered for three years. St. Paul asked to be released from his thorn in the flesh. When is it good for us to ask to be released from hardships? Is there a time when it is not good?

Aug 25, 4:47 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Trust God in deep
Aug 25, 4:47 PM
SrSusan (Guest): and yet while He is trustworthy people do find it difficult to trust
Aug 25, 4:48 PMCarol (Guest): We are used to people letting us down
Aug 25, 4:48 PM
Paula (Guest): yes because we want to control the situation
Aug 25, 4:48 PM
SrSusan (Guest): and we have a tendency to want control
Aug 25, 4:48 PM

Aug 25, 4:48 PM
Paula (Guest): and not let Him control it for us
ug 25, 4:49 PM

Aug 25, 4:52 PM
SrSusan (Guest): I always have trouble with the passage about the unforgivable sin no matter how many times I’ve heard explanations
ug 25, 4:53 PMCarol (Guest): Is it the final choice after death when people choose not to be with Him?
Aug 25, 4:54 PM
Paula (Guest): I think it is Atheism…not believing in God
Aug 25, 4:54 PM
SrSusan (Guest): Maybe when we cannot forgive ourselves or dont accept God’s mercy and love
Aug 25, 4:54 PM
Anna-Marie Kean (Guest): Like Judas
Aug 25, 4:54 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes Sr Susan
Aug 25, 4:55 PMPaula (Guest): As the Holy Spirit leads us to knowledge of God
Aug 25, 4:55 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Divine mercy jesus is our knowledge
Aug 25, 4:56 PM
Paula (Guest): Also like Cain, he refused God and His mercy
Aug 25, 4:56 PM
Anna-Marie Kean (Guest): It’s hard to believe God would not forgive a contrite heart
Aug 25, 4:56 PM
SrSusan (Guest): q Related to that, if God’s forgiveness is boundless, how does anyone enter hell?
Aug 25, 4:56 PMDonna (Guest): It is the worst sin not to accept God’s forgiveness. It is a form of pride
Aug 25, 4:56 PMAnna-Marie Kean (Guest): By their own choice
Aug 25, 4:56 PMDonna (Guest): Because they act like the fallen angels
ug 25, 4:57 PM
Guest (Guest): Hi I believe it’s when we meet Jesus when we die and we say no to His Mercy and Love. For people in mortal sin.
Aug 25, 4:57 PM
Carol (Guest): The only way to go is to choose it, and to refuse mercy
Aug 25, 4:57 PM
Simone (Guest): I like that Donna. and yes Anna-Marie.. well said
ug 25, 4:57 PM
Paula (Guest): Also, not to accept our just punishment from God like Cain did
Aug 25, 4:57 PM
Simone (Guest): isn’t it crazy when we see it black on white? ” to refuse mercy?”
ug 25, 4:57 PM
Anna-Marie Kean (Guest): Not accepting truths about God…
Aug 25, 4:57 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Why jehovah lord cant forgive satan Lucifer because he is sinful bad angel
Aug 25, 4:57 PM
Donna (Guest): The temptation is terrible
Aug 25, 4:58 PM
Bettychao (Guest): We need to seek jesus to reject satan trick
Aug 25, 4:58 PM
Guest (Guest): Lucifer hated. He does not want to be forgiven.
Aug 25, 4:58 PM
Carol (Guest): Betty, because Satan saw God in His glory and with full understanding chose to disobey
Aug 25, 4:58 PM
SrSusan (Guest): True, Guest!
ug 25, 4:59 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Dont listen to satan we need obey God
Aug 25, 4:59 PM
Anna-Marie Kean (Guest): Lucifer refused to humble himself before God and refused the idea of God becoming human and humbling himself
Aug 25, 4:59 PMSimone (Guest): For someone who hates – the presence of pure love is painful I guess. So – even hell sounds like a place of mercy
Aug 25, 5:00 PM
Donna (Guest): From Gold’s point of view it is!
Aug 25, 5:00 PM
SrSusan (Guest): that’s powerful thought
ug 25, 5:00 PM

Guest (Guest): We need to Love and when seems hard to think of Jesus and all the Love He has for all.
Aug 25, 5:02 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Abel always worship and obey jehovah
ug 25, 5:02 PM
Simone (Guest): wasn’t it SFDS who said, that the love for GOD and the love for our brother come all from the same source? You cannot love the one and hate the other.
Aug 25, 5:02 PM
SrSusan (Guest): Yes very true
ug 25, 5:03 PMCarol (Guest): Yes, when we accept His love we must reciprocate it by acting as He does towards others
Aug 25, 5:03 PM
Donna (Guest): And God’s love does not depend on feelings!
Aug 25, 5:03 PM
SrSusan (Guest): we are coming up upon a year of hope
Aug 25, 5:03 PM
Donna (Guest): Good!
Aug 25, 5:03 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Hope in jesus
Aug 25, 5:04 PM
Simone (Guest): Yes Carol – mercy gives us hope.. Big time
Aug 25, 5:04 PM
Paula (Guest): We should still hope as SFDS….God goes by our whole track record…not just a hasty bad decision at the last moment
Aug 25, 5:04 PM
SrSusan (Guest): Hope is also a theological virtue and we are always to strive for virtue
Aug 25, 5:04 PM
Bettychao (Guest): That is why we pray to divine mercy prayer beca
Aug 25, 5:04 PM
Simone (Guest): we have a just God.. that is so comforting
Aug 25, 5:05 PM
SrSusan (Guest): Yes Betty!
Aug 25, 5:05 PM
Simone (Guest): you are right Betty.. Jesus is the source of all hope
Aug 25, 5:05 PM
Paula (Guest): He knows everything
Aug 25, 5:05 PM
Bettychao (Guest): We have hope through him to us
ug 25, 5:05 PMCarol (Guest): We must let Him draw us close, and then stay there
Aug 25, 5:05 PMDonna (Guest): Yes!
ug 25, 5:06 PMPaula (Guest): all about us….all our thoughts, motives…and feelings…..and still loves us!
Aug 25, 5:07 PMSrSusan (Guest): q How can we form greater friendships with the blessed in heaven, as St. Francis says? How are these friendships similar to those on earth? Or different?
Aug 25, 5:08 PMCarol (Guest): By learning from their example
Aug 25, 5:08 PM
Donna (Guest): Similar because the saints had strengths and weaknesses like us
Aug 25, 5:08 PM
Paula (Guest): We can study the lives of the Saints and ask for their help
Aug 25, 5:08 PM
Paula (Guest): exactly
Aug 25, 5:08 PM
Simone (Guest): I remember reading some biographies from Saints.. and they truly were so close to my heart – for a while
Aug 25, 5:09 PM
Paula (Guest): Just like SFDS had problems with anger
Aug 25, 5:09 PMDonna (Guest): Different because of the different Graces God gave each of them
ug 25, 5:10 PM
Donna (Guest): Definitely different because they are in heaven and cannot sin anymore!
Aug 25, 5:10 PM
Simone (Guest): they are different.. because friendship on earth is a “two way ” relationship
Aug 25, 5:10 PM
Paula (Guest): We can pray to the Saints and ask them to help us with our difficulties
ug 25, 5:10 PMDonna (Guest): Yes!
ug 25, 5:10 PMSimone (Guest): a friendship with the Saints – feels more like a one way relationship.. At least no Saint has ever asked me to help them so far 
ug 25, 5:10 PM
Paula (Guest): and….they are still two way
Aug 25, 5:10 PM
Carol (Guest): Lol Simone
Aug 25, 5:10 PM

Donna (Guest): O how cute!
Aug 25, 5:13 PM
SrSusan (Guest): we can help saints by spreading their message- the truth of the Gospel in their particular way of expressing it
Aug 25, 5:13 PM
Paula (Guest): I truly mean it
Aug 25, 5:13 PM
Simone (Guest): but the thing is Paula.. that I think.. I am not doing anything FOR them.. other than calling on them. Which is of course a way of pleasing them too
Aug 25, 5:13 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Next week i will go to my church mass afternoon so i will not in chat i chat with

Paula (Guest): Read the Sermons of SFDS for Lent and Advent. They are great.
Aug 25, 5:18 PM
Bettychao (Guest): Jesus bless you all
Aug 25, 5:18 PM
Donna (Guest): I don’t think so but I loved her and read alot about her I loved how she became like SFDS

Simone (Guest): Bye Betty.. hope your health will become significantly better this week
ug 25, 5:19 PMSimone (Guest): I agree Donna.. fascinating spiritual transformation
ug 25, 5:19 PM
Donna (Guest): Their love from God their bond made me cry
Aug 25, 5:19 PM
SrSusan (Guest): q The recipient of this letter asked that they be released from a hardship that they have suffered for three years. St. Paul asked to be released from his thorn in the flesh. When is it good for us to ask to be released from hardships? Is there a time when it is not good?
Aug 25, 5:19 PMSimone (Guest): I hear you Donna
Aug 25, 5:20 PM
Simone (Guest): I think it is natural to ask to be released from hardship.. As long as we do not demand or insist..
Aug 25, 5:20 PM
Paula (Guest): Yes, if it helps us to serve God better.
Aug 25, 5:20 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes, it is never good to ask God to stop it if it will make us holy Catholic Saints
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Simone (Guest): sometimes we have a feeling, that this very hardship does something profoundly “good” in us.. and that there is grace to endure..
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Paula (Guest): We should ask as God may heal us.
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Simone (Guest): I agree Paula
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Donna (Guest): I want His perfect will no matter what because I know I will have His perfect peace
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Carol (Guest): We sometimes think we cannot bear it. But if the burden is from Him He is helping ‘
Aug 25, 5:21 PM
Dawn (Guest): Yes Simone
ug 25, 5:22 PM
Paula (Guest): I think it is not good…if we don’t want to suffer anything for the love of Him
Aug 25, 5:22 PM
Simone (Guest): It can be a sign of trust to ask to be released … and it can be a sign of trust NOT to ask to be released.. It really depends.. I do not think this can be answered generally
Aug 25, 5:23 PM
Donna (Guest): He always gives us the break we need and the closure when needed
Aug 25, 5:23 PM
SrSusan (Guest): there is as St Francis de Sales says, the high point of our soul, where we are not asking, but our emotions may be asking
Aug 25, 5:23 PM
Dawn (Guest): To have a sense this hardship is for your Holy good …
ug 25, 5:23 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes
Aug 25, 5:23 PM
Simone (Guest): yes,, I like that.. “for your Holy good”
ug 25, 5:24 PMDonna (Guest): It is good to have commaradery
ug 25, 5:24 PM
Donna (Guest): One falls he has a he other to lift him up
Aug 25, 5:24 PM
Simone (Guest): I always pictured the high point of our soul… as a place of deep contemplation-
Aug 25, 5:24 PM
Donna (Guest): The other
ug 25, 5:24 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes a spiritual sense/Grace from God
Aug 25, 5:24 PM
Guest (Guest): I think God wants us to ask for help. Jesus asked His Father if His this suffering can be taken from Him. I think we grow closer to God by asking for help. He’s our Buddy.
Aug 25, 5:25 PM
Paula (Guest): I think that it is good to ask for healing but be prepared to suffer long and hard for the love of God if the answer is no
Aug 25, 5:25 PM
Simone (Guest): holy indifference I guess..
Aug 25, 5:25 PM
Carol (Guest): And to remember He sees the big picture
Aug 25, 5:25 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes
ug 25, 5:25 PM
Dawn (Guest): Love always pictured the high point of our soul… as a place of deep contemplation-
Aug 25, 5:26 PM
Paula (Guest): we have to be prepared as Jesus was to accept God’s will in it
Aug 25, 5:26 PM
Paula (Guest): as in the agony in the garden
Aug 25, 5:26 PM
SrSusan (Guest): Yes a place of contemplation, perhaps a place of union with God, and His Will, that high, still point of the soul
Aug 25, 5:26 PM
Donna (Guest): Yes
Aug 25, 5:26 PM
