Homosexuality & The Catholic Church W/ Avera Maria Santo

- Do we believe that we were “born this way”? Why don’t we just “pray the gay away”? Join Avera Maria Santo and I as we personally answer these questions (and many more) based on our own experiences being Catholics and living with SSA. A huge thank you to my dear sister in Christ for being so open to doing this with me and in the rest of her beautiful ministry work. I pray that God will open the hearts of whoever is watching this and that they may find clarity and refuge in His full truth and love being reflected in us. May God continue to bless His Church, especially Her children battling SSA and living in obedience with Her teachings :-)

Wow, yasss!! I love you guys!! I want to be besties with you both lol I’m a gay man that is living a chaste lifestyle and I still have yet to meet anyone in person who is doing the same. Your friendship is beautiful and inspires me that I will find the same. ❤️🙏🏾 God bless you both!
I absolutely love how I'm just now replying back to this message of yours saying that you "want to be besties" three weeks later and now WE ACTUALLY ARE FRIENDS AND TALK ALL THE TIME LOL God is so good and awesome, right? I'm so thankful for your continuous love and support, my dearest brother in Christ! Keep on hanging in there, we are carrying our crosses to Heaven together ;-)
I hope both of you are both well 🙏🏼 … praying there are more videos to come.. this communication is what this world needs ❤️
Wow. I’m not the only one with this cross. Thank you so much.
I recently had a full conversion, embracing consecrated single life and seeing this video actually makes me feel so validated. As a SSA catholic trying to live out the teachings you can feel crazy when you’re out in the world and outcasted. This is amazing! Keep doing what you guys are doing. ❤️
Same! Praying for you!
Hey! I'm a 40s year old white guy and I love you two! Keep preaching!
The joy radiating from this video is so beautiful. I was on the verge of tears the whole time. Being a young Catholic myself, this walk can feel like a lonely one. Peace be with you both. xo
Wishing you many more Blessings! Great talk!!!
I don’t know your cross, but I deeply appreciate your witness! I definitely will be pray for you all! You are amazing!
Beautiful! Just the type of witness the Church needs - authentic, real, from the heart, and objectively true! Sending prayers for you both from the Benedictine monastery in our nation's capital.
thank you so much for this! Such an inspiration and guide when I was feeling so alone. Thank you so much!
Thank YOU for watching us and letting God speak freely to you through my video! I'm so thankful to know that our video was able to serve as a comforting resource for you on this sensitive topic, that is exactly why I do what I do! :) God is too awesome, isn't He? Please know that you are NEVER alone in this crazy beautiful battle of life. Christ and His Church are walking with you every single step of the way! We are carrying our crosses to Heaven together now! He will never give us a cross too heavy to handle. May God bless you on your journey, my sister :)
Yall are amazing. I am so thankful for both of your witnesses. This cross will make you two saints and we need more SSA saints. Thank you for your bravery!
To Him be all of the glory! We are just merely His faithful servants :D Thank you for your kind words and affirmation, my sister! We are all called to sainthood, SSA or not. However, I personally cannot wait for the day that an openly SSA Catholic who lives in accordance with the Church is FINALLY canonized. Will it be me? Will it be Avera? One can only hope and pray :-)
Omg love you guys 😂 thanks so much for this, I struggle with SSA as well, great to see other amazing individuals living out Christs teachings as well. Thanks to you both, God Bless
again...OMGoodness...no puedo! You two are incredible! More collabs please!!! God bless you both. What an amazing example you are! My heart is so full hearing you both! So much so, I feel tears welling up!!!
God bless you guys...Keep on inspiring people who wants to love Christ but struggles with this temptation
Wonderfully put, and so TRUE! What a much needed message 💜 thank you for doing this video. Jesus Truly Present in The Eucharist is so worth it!
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch our video! Your support and affirmation means so much :) Amen indeed! Our Lord is worthy of all praise and sacrifice...no price too high for His Holy Presence in the Eucharist!
Oh my word I have been waiting for this FOR FOREVER! This is the highlight of my week. Y'all are both inspirational people and I am blessed from having watched this video. Thank you for sharing your story and witnessing to the Truth. God bless you both forever and ever, Amen.
Well I guess we are even then because your comments on my videos are actually the highlights of my weeks LOL But seriously I am blessed to have such a supportive, affirming sister in Christ as yourself! You inspire Avera and I more than you may realize. May God bless you evermore, dearest Melina :)
Yall guys are so awesome. I wish I could spend a say with yall!
I think God loves all of us equally and it seems to me that the more we focus on his perfect love and perfection and just being thankful and praying and enjoying our lives through the good and bad, while helping out people, that just means that we are doing our best and doing good enough I'm his eyes. So me being someone who is attracted to men, I've prayed to God about it and just had my quiet times with him where I could let it all out and what I'm coming to realize is that I'm still attracted to men but that's not the most important thing to worry about now anyways. God knew that when he breathed life into Adam, we were gonna someone special. He created everything in six days and said it was good!! So we are good! So therefore I know he didn't place us here to intentionally be afraid, worried or anxious or have a troubled mind. There's so many wonderful scriptures about the mind that I read aloud and it makes me feel ok; Even though I have had this same sex attraction since pre adolescence. I don't know why I have that attraction but hey I got good family and friends and when you have that, it's good enough :)
we are complete in Him
The best thing said "You maybe the only Bible they read" a
Amen Amen and thrice i say Amen
RIGHT?! When she spoke those words of firey truth I too was in awe LOL AMEN X1000, MY BROTHER!
🙂😄
Thank you both- you beautiful souls!!! I have teenagers who really struggle with the worlds view and RCC - when we live in an over sexualised world that idolises fulfilment of self seeking pleasures- I am so happy to have found your clips- God bless you!!! Please keep leading and ministering to our youth and our world xxx
Its like what I always say..."honey, the only man for me is Jesus!"....can I get an amen?!
AMEN!
Chastity works that way for heterosexuals, too.....I'm 65 years old 25 + years chaste and celibate.....and not lonely!
I really like the end of this video where you talk about freedom and becoming complete in Christ! Lovely!
Great video!
Thank you both for sharing your story! 😀💛
You are two sweet and amazing people. Thank you for your enthusiastic testimony.
I love this content 💚 I also have same sex attraction and living in a chaste life. I also nourish my self in the Sacraments. I go to mass daily and go to confession atleast once a month. All is Grace thank you for this 💕
Good job, guys.
Love you guys!!!!!
YAS!!! 😍
;-)
Y’all are friend goals I’m not even joking. Stop being so cute 🙈
LOL Catholic friends are truly THE BEST kinds of friends ;-)
@@callmemannyyy yes!
God must be working on me because I stumble across this video and im hooked. BUT i will say im partically active in LGBT community but im in a conflicted state of it.
God is ALWAYS working, my brother! Though He clearly must have something special planned in particular for you ;-) I'm so thankful that He led you to my channel and has resonated with you through me. The best advice that I can give you for now is to pray about this. Open your heart to His voice and what He desires. Keep discerning where He truly wants you and who He truly desires you to be...after all, clearly your heart is conflicted at the moment for a reason! I will keep you and your journey in my heart and prayers. May God bless you much, Mazzai!
Thank you for sharing, Mazzai
