If you say the #Rosary faithfully until death... #CatholicTwitter

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗗𝗜𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡? 💀 As the day comes to a close, we are faced with a question that many avoid, yet none can escape: What if you die without Confession? It is not a question meant to frighten without purpose, but to awaken the soul to reality. Death does not wait for convenience. It does not ask if we are ready. It simply comes. Many live as though there will always be time, time to repent, time to change, time to return to God. But this is an illusion. Scripture reminds us that we do not know the hour. To delay Confession is to gamble with eternity, to assume a future that is not promised. A soul in mortal sin stands separated from God. And if death comes in that state, there is no opportunity to return, no second chance to confess, no moment to undo what was left undone. This is why the Church, through her saints and teachings, has always urged the faithful: do not delay conversion. Yet even in this serious truth, there is hope. God’s mercy is not far from us, it is near, waiting, ready in the confessional. The door is open. The priest is there. Grace is offered freely. What is required is not perfection, but humility, the courage to come and confess sincerely. Why then do we hesitate? Pride, fear, shame, or simple neglect often hold us back. But these must not prevail. The longer we delay, the harder it becomes. The enemy wants delay. God calls for response. Tonight, as we prepare for rest, let us examine our souls honestly. If there is sin that needs to be confessed, do not postpone it. Make the decision now. Plan your return. Act without delay. 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. 🕊️ Go to Confession. ✝️ Be reconciled with God. 🔥 Return while there is still time. 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖, 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙪𝙨🇻🇦

@are_lingusHelp the overnight flight from Chicago to Dublin last week was absolutely abysmal. Worst travel experience of my life. Today’s flight EI123 is gearing up to suck just as hard. 7 hr flight on the window. KILL ME! No option to change. This is what Hell is like. ☠️😵‍💫

It is not enough to pray and fast externally, we must also examine our conscience sincerely and recognize the sins that separate us from God. Many of these sins have become common and even accepted in the world today. Yet, according to the teachings of the Church, especially as explained in the Baltimore Catechism, sin is an offense against God, who is infinitely good and worthy of all our love. We must not fall into despair, thinking God will not forgive us, nor into presumption, thinking we can sin without consequence. Both are dangerous for the soul. The Sacrament of Confession is a great mercy given by Our Lord. No matter how grave our sins may be, if we confess them with true contrition, God forgives and restores our soul to grace. Let this Lent be the time we return fully to God, not tomorrow, not later, but now. 🙏 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen Give me the grace to make a sincere confession, to amend my life, and to avoid the occasions of sin. Strengthen me to carry my cross and follow Thee faithfully. Amen. 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙂𝙤𝙙. ✝️

@FlyTPA question, I've heard the TSA lines are crazy right now. I've got a flight at 8:30 am, what should I get to the airport? TIA!! :-)

Its Sunday, go to Holy Mass

† St. Padre Pio says: “Be cheerful. Jesus will take care of everything. Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are saying •••• Let us trust in Jesus and our Heavenly Mother, and everything will work out well.”

@TaylorRMarshall 😒

Do Protestant men ever drive home from Sunday service and say, “Our woman pastor is awesome. I love being under the spiritual authority of this woman.”

Fcking EPIC!!! 😂😂😂

Once you are baptized and confirmed as a Catholic you cannot decide that you no longer want to be a Catholic. You can apostatize, go into heresy and schism and live in mortal sin, but you are still a Catholic because baptism and confirmation impose an indelible mark on your character. You can therefore strive to be a faithful Catholic and continue on the path to heaven by God's good grace or you can choose the path that leads to destruction.

Every family has that one uncle...

Looking for a good recipient of your Christmas tithe? A large traditional Catholic family in Virginia who supports me has a son who defied odds of genetic prognosis, was born without a right eye and required emergency surgeries. His parents are now struggling with the burden of medical debt and now ask for your help to keep the whole family afloat: givesendgo.com/babycox?utm_so…

This 5-year-old boy, Micah, is currently on life support His family are devout Christians Pray for him 🙏

Hey Man, there's a beverage here.

The revolution has failed. Tradition is the future. Go to Holy Mass.
