Today’s Topics:
1, 2, 3, 4) How do we define sin? The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us:
http://scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a8.htm
When we sin, our intellect is dulled as Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us. But, if our intellect is dulled how are we supposed to fulfill the mission God made all of us for? As the Baltimore Catechism tells us:
Q: Why did God make you?
A: God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.
If our intellect is dull, how are we supposed to know God? And most importantly, if our intellect is dull and and we are thwarted in knowing God, who do we know? What do we know?
In my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and what I have failed to do, are my thoughts compatible with Heaven or with Hell?

Today’s Topics:
1, 2, 3, 4) How do we define sin? The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us:
http://scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a8.htm
When we sin, our intellect is dulled as Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us. But, if our intellect is dulled how are we supposed to fulfill the mission God made all of us for? As the Baltimore Catechism tells us:
Q: Why did God make you?
A: God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.
If our intellect is dull, how are we supposed to know God? And most importantly, if our intellect is dull and and we are thwarted in knowing God, who do we know? What do we know?
In my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and what I have failed to do, are my thoughts compatible with Heaven or with Hell?

What is expected of men today? Should a man have feminine traits? What are masculine and feminine traits? Do they have to do with being a man or a woman?
Unfortunately, in todays world we use the word masculine and feminine traits in a way that that makes it seem like certain characteristics belong specifically to a man or specifically to a woman. In reality, we should use a term like traits of humanity that we should learn to use in different circumstances in our lives.
Let’s learn more about these traits, specifically as men, and how we should apply them to our daily lives.
Here are some traits that we should consider; I would not call them feminine or masculine, but aspects of our humanity that we should understand and nurture whether we are men or women

2) Social definition of Depression vs Clinical Definition of Depression
3). Social Definition of Despair vs Catholic Church definition of Despair 2091 The first commandment is also concerned with sins against hope, namely, despair and presumption:
By despair, man ceases to hope for his personal salvation from God, for help in attaining it, or for the forgiveness of his sins. Despair is contrary to God's goodness, to his justice - for the Lord is faithful to his promises - and to his mercy
4) Final Impenitence - feeling hopeless vs not Hoping in God. 1864 "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss
