Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principles applied to today's experiences.

If you were to examine your life, what would you say is keeping you from becoming the person you want to be, the person who God created you to be? Our decisions can impact our prayer life, our self image, our relationships with others, and so on. Timmerie sits down with former Cosmo Girl writer Sue Ellen Browder and discusses what it is that truly makes us beautiful. Timmerie also shares some helpful advice given by an exorcist, Fr. Francois Dermine, on how to avoid temptation.

Do you ever feel pressed to adapt to the times?  Someone may tell you, “Just let go of your stuffiness and Catholic guilt.  Live and let live!”  Two-thirds of Americans believe they have become a better person in 2020.  Through the insights of Pope Saint John Paul II, Sacred Scripture, and Saint Faustina, Timmerie discusses how you can become a better person too.  Don’t let addiction, had habits, or wallowing in your own self misery get in the way.  Link to Prayer Timmerie mentions during Trending:  https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-kh4pDb5X/

• St. Therese of Lisieux: a contemporary of St. Joseph Marello with similar spirituality (“Doing the ordinary in extraordinary ways.”); both detached from material things and full of joy. In their poverty, they show us a path to happiness.
• Venerable Carlo Acutis: known for having documented eucharistic miracles; defending kids who were bullied at school and having a heart for friends whose parents were going through divorce. Beatification, October 10 in Assisi. How do we communicate the healing that is available through Jesus?

• Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters  Is transgenderism among girls a social contagion?

• Cloaking an issue in “civil rights” is a slippery slope. Is toxic social media and influence destroying young girls? Gender dysphoria is usually outgrown as children mature; gender affirmation therapy damages children. Girls deserve better.
