This was very well written, and easily applicable to every person. We all have our own spiritual battles, and the only way we "get over" them is by realizing that we can't. I can't, He can. All we can do is realize we are not our savior - and live it. Trust in Jesus, which is always easier said than done. This scripture passage came to mind while reading your writing: "In you our fathers trusted; they trusted and you rescued them. To you they cried out and they escaped; in you they trusted and were not disappointed. But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by men, despised by the people." (Psalm 22:5-7) One resource I've found that helps me be open to the grace of chastity is the Angelic Warfare Confraternity. They have an app with a chaplet that beautifully tackles our misconceptions. Another is the litany of humility and the surrender novena. All this to say, I think you hit the nail on the head. Thank you for sharing this poignant reflection - I found it very helpful. Be assured of my prayers for you on your journey!
Alex, Interesting that I read this post today. Last night, I interviewed the two primary organizers of the Humilitas March in the Philippines. They organized this last year, as a sort of response to Pride Month. They were parading with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But the event has its own life, quite apart from any "response" to "Pride" or anything else. These two organizers, Raven and Nirva, are beautiful souls. Humility is an amazing, underappreciated virtue. I expect my interview with them to air sometime in November.

Thank you brother 🙏
Gee, I think I needed that. You're certainly not afraid to state the truth bluntly. Thanks.
