Catholic during the Great Apostasy

Truth has already become the language of hate and lies the language of love. The world of illusion we live in is a lie and everyone can see this, but most in this world have created for themselves their own little enclaves of illusion and excuses for their sins. The question must be asked:
Who am I?
An honest answer will help us to open our eyes; to see the truth in a web of lies. If most of a person’s life is focused on adding so-called ‘likes’ or ‘hearts’ on social networks and, on top of that, watching stupid videos – basically, the more stupid the more popular – they should ask themselves this question and look the truth in the eye. Who has he become and can he still think independently and normally?

Lack of logical thinking has now become standard. Lack of logic, of course, means lack of thinking. Previously, say many years ago, one would still consider that something is hidden and people do not notice it. Yes, that is in some part right, but the past is gone and will not return, and now everything is public. This is why it is so important to build the Church in souls on the rock of our faith. The survival of our souls depends on it, otherwise you will become or already are a zombie – a mindless creature focused on consumption. Truth is not hate, truth is not even love – truth is a realistic view of ourselves and the reality around us. Speaking and living in truth, however, is the highest expression of love.
There are no feelings in it because it is independent of what angle we look at it from. It is unchanging, just like God, which is why I often say that if you could describe God in one word that word would be Truth.

You cannot change the truth! This is unfeasible. People think that if they build up some image of themselves e.g. on the Internet – including retouching their own photos – they will change the truth about who they are and how they look. They don’t. They only build houses – not on rock, but on the sand of lies, which sooner or later will crumble, leaving behind mental ruin, depression and even suicide.
You will not break through the walls of lies that surround you in any other way, only by detaching yourself from the noise, the noise of the world. You have to stop and look at it all from the side, you have to detach yourself from all the media – at least for a period of time that will allow you to see the truth and filter the information that reaches you.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth. All the teaching that he has given us is in accordance with all the laws of science, of nature – because it cannot be otherwise. God created this world, so it is impossible for him to contradict himself.
By finding God you will find the Truth, because God opens the eyes of the blind who believe in Him.
Seek God in silence, not in the noise of the world or the various charismatic sects. Don’t look for strong impressions, thrills and miracles because they are sooner the work of Satan than of God. Silence and prayer are the domain of our Lord Jesus Christ, who wants to see us like Natanael under the fig tree praying in the silence of solitude to God
If you speak the truth, you are not judging; if you speak the truth, you are turning away from the lie whose father is Satan. But to speak the truth, you must first bring it to dwell in your soul .
You must look at yourself and the reality around you realistically, according to the very truth. Then act in such a way as to erase falsehood from your life at all costs. When you achieve this, you will not need to say anything to others, because your actions will testify for you . You will become an example to others – admittedly, as our Lord Jesus Christ announced – a few. The majority will hate you, but the harmony of your soul with God will reward you for everything.
The disease of our time, depression, is caused solely by the spiritual emptiness into which the world drives us.

Think of how much money people spend on psychoanalysts and their endless therapies. And all you have to do is talk to God in solitude through prayer. Just try it – it costs nothing, and for many it is unfeasible. Everything is close by – in our souls, within us – and we are searching far away in the darkness of the world.
Build in you a faith as firm as a rock, and on it the Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And on it shall crumble the swords of mockery, falsehood and hypocrisy of those who would seek to destroy you.
