So I did an episode on the monastic life and for many it just isn’t possible for many reasons (family commitments, stage in life) although to give it up for Christ is the best course of actions, people today are so struggling with this modern world that monasticism is a bridge too far, they first need to learn how to properly separate from the worldly influences.
We are often told that as Catholics we are in this world but not of this world.
As Traditional Catholics we have great priests as examples but we are not religious ourselves and so we truly can’t live the pious lives they do.
It’s as if there is this veil between us and heaven that forces us to remain in this world and yet not of this world.
That is no easy feat.
So as Traditional Catholics we do our very best to practice the faith and push out the modern worlds influences on our lives and our family, but is that truly even living in this world?
There is really only one way and that is to live a traditional catholic life.
By trying to live in this world any other way won’t cut it.
Let’s discuss this.
