@FChristopher77 This is so powerful. Do you mind if I share this on my Instagram

[Father Christopher @FChristopher77]

The devil does not rejoice when you fall.

He rejoices when you stay down.

We often believe that hell celebrates every sin of ours. It is not so.

For the demons, the fall is only a tool. They know very well that a fallen person can rise again, for they have seen it too many times. They saw David rising from adultery and the shedding of innocent blood, with “Have mercy on me, O God” on his lips. They saw Peter, after denying Him three times, going out and weeping bitterly. They saw the thief entering Paradise first, from a cross.

It is not your fall they want. They want what comes after it: the moment when you say to yourself, “There is no longer any escape for me.”

Peter and Judas fell on the same night. It was not the sin that separated the two, but what they did afterward. Peter wept and returned. Judas no longer believed he could be forgiven; he remained alone with his sin and perished.

The Holy Fathers, who knew the warfare of thoughts better than anyone, exposed this cunning.

Before the sin, the enemy whispers to you: “Go ahead, God is good, He will forgive you.”

After the sin, the same voice tells you: “God is just. For you it is too late.”

Beforehand, he shows you a God too mild to stop you. Afterward, he shows you a God too severe to receive you anymore. Neither of them is the true God. The liar is the same; only the mask has changed.

The Unseen Warfare, the book that St. Nicodemus the Hagiorite gave to the Church, teaches us something else that disarms us. The black turmoil after the fall is not humility, but wounded pride. It comes from a soul that is astonished that it could fall, because it believed itself stronger than it was. The humble person is not astonished when he falls. He weeps, rises, and runs to God.

St. John Climacus says that nothing is greater than the mercy of God, and that the one who despairs kills his own soul.

St. Isaac the Syrian says that all the sins of men, placed beside the mercy of God, are like a handful of sand thrown into the sea.

If you are down now - after an old sin, after a passion you can no longer escape, or after a shame you have told no one listen:

The thought that tells you “it is too late” is not the voice of conscience. It is the voice of the one who has never known repentance.

You do not have to be clean in order to return. You return in order to be cleansed.

You do not have to have strength in order to rise. Simply say, with whatever strength is left to you: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” The rest is His work.

Hell needs you to stay down. Heaven needs only that you lift your eyes.

Look at the icon of the Resurrection. Christ descended even into hell to take Adam by the hand and lead him out.

However low you are now, the floor you stand on is not deeper than hell.

Rise. Again. And again. Until your last breath.

Let us trust in Jesus and our Heavenly Mother and everything will work out well."

Prayer of Saint Charles Borromeo to One’s Guardian Angel

My good Guardian Angel, I do not know when and in what manner I will die. It is possible that I will be taken suddenly, or that before my last breath I will find myself deprived of my mental capacities. And there are so many things that I would want to say to God, on the threshold of Eternity… So today, with the full freedom of my will, I come to ask, my Guardian Angel that you speak for me in this dreadful moment. You will say, then, to the Lord:

That I want to die in the Holy Roman Catholic Church, in the bosom of which all the saints died after Jesus Christ, and outside of which there is no salvation;

That I ask for the grace to participate in the infinite merits of my Redeemer, and that I wish to die resting my lips on the Cross that was washed with His Blood;

That I hate and detest my sins that have offended Jesus, and that out of love for Him, I forgive my enemies, as I myself wish to be forgiven;

That I accept my death as God’s will, and that, with all confidence, I surrender myself to His loving and most Sacred Heart, hoping in all His mercy;

That in my inexpressible desire to go to Heaven, I am ready to suffer whatever His sovereign Justice may please to inflict upon me.

That I love Him before all things, above all things and for His own sake; that I wish and hope to love Him with the Elect, His Angels and the Blessed Mother during all eternity.

Do not refuse, oh my Holy Guardian Angel, to be my interpreter with God and to expose before Him that these are my sentiments and my will. Amen.

“Science Isn’t the Church’s Enemy - It’s One of Her Children.”

Every time these guys release a track, another myth about Christian history dies on contact.

People forget:
Science didn’t escape the Church…

A rational Creator.
An ordered universe.
Matter that can be studied because it isn’t divine.
The first universities? Catholic.
Genetics? A monk.
The Big Bang? A priest.
Foundations of astronomy, seismology, and medicine?
