Struggler Merch available here: shop.ascension...
Father Mark-Mary and Brother Isaiah of the CFRs continue with their series about the struggler. Last week, they spoke about the value of struggling, and the week before Brother Isaiah shared the story of a donkey that has served as an inspiration for the series. In this video, they address those who are struggling, and encourage them to ask the question, “Is it the right struggle?”
The friars emphasize the fact that a struggle is less difficult when someone compassionately accompanies you in it. Brother Isaiah also encourages us to be still, because by doing so we can more easily see God at work.

I was at the Atlanta airport watching by brother go off to college when I met brother Isaiah on accident. I had no idea who he was, but I asked him to pray for my brother. We prayed and it was an amazing experience. It was crazy when I saw him on Ascension Presents and I'm praying for him every step of the way!

NO ONE is spared...Struggle is part the human condition. God is ALWAYS in control, even when it's very, very bad. It's very hard to ''naturally'' let go and let God and trust Him, without becoming anxious, but the outcome is always the best for us. In hindsight, God is awesome!

@@AscensionPresents Thank you so, so much! I looked online after I discovered your music/label for "merch" (haha me trying to sound like my teen sons). I really appreciate this and in time for Christmas too is an additional blessing. I want you all to know how you've touched our hearts and made us grow to know Jesus and experience the Holy Spirit in unshakeable ways. God is so merciful! See, now when I'm struggling or reflecting upon past struggles that I genuinely trust and acknowledge that the struggle was "not such a bad thing". I honestly mean that. Anything that brings me closer to God is something for which I must be thankful. Finally, sorry I know I'm too long winded here haha, but I think it's important to know that BOTH of my teenage sons are living and defending the Faith and your ministry has been so powerful in their lives! Thanks so much!! 😊

If you are not feeling mental pain with your struggle (even while enduring physical pain), then it's the right struggle. Else, it's the wrong struggle that you should reconsider.

I have always struggled understanding people who drink alcoholic beverages, smoking, doing drugs, stealing and not working hard to get blessed money. I have never ever drink or smoke or do drugs. My earned money obtained from working hard with dedication, and being grateful lasted a lot more, and better than easy money. I was a single mother of two kids for 21 years. I struggled from 1995 to 2013 after that I realized that GOD have blessed me, and I made it through the storm with so little. Glory to God forever and ever 🙏 🙏♥️♥️ Thank you so much for the video. Thank you so much for dedicating your life to God and His people. Greetings from DC ( Washington, DC ) 🙏🙏

@ポケらあ 6 лет назад

I can relate with your conversation, brothers. Thanks for all those inspiring words. When I stopped resisting my struggles, and started offering them to God, things became lighter. Struggles became an act of love. God is so so good to us. Let's keep trusting Him.

@merynco 6 лет назад

Struggling is far better than confusion that the evil one can cause, so we stay alert to let God take over and be still, l listen, great advice!

@burninglonewolfpoetry1450 5 лет назад

Wow it was really refreshing to hear this. I'm not a Catholic myself. More a non denominal Christian. It's really nice to see younger generations taking on spirituality. I'm really dealing with alot right now and I didn't know where to turn to. This gave me some peace of mind. It's nice to finally get some advice from fellow Christians wrather then "just pray on it". God bless you.

To answer more directly, if they lived a honest and charitably life (an "heroic" life), they are saved, since it isn`t their fault that God`s True Revelation wasn`t brought to them. HOWEVER, this is only in the case were the person *never knew Catholicism*

@AscensionPresents 5 лет назад

They are loved and He loves you dearly! We each begin our journey at different points.Try taking just 5 minutes a day for prayer and maybe find a friend to journey with. Also invite you to visit or call your local catholic church to set up a time to speak with the pastor. He will gladly meet with you and suggest some ways to begin the journey! You are loved!
