A reader laments the current spiritual situation

You’re not alone in feeling that you’re alone (no pun intended).  We’ve heard from many Catholics who have expressed similar sentiments.  One should use that opportunity to build his or her relationship with God, pray extra rosaries, do spiritual reading, etc.  It is actually in time by himself or herself that one finds the situation most conducive to spiritual advancement.  And if one has a strong prayer life, etc., it’s important to have a healthy recreation period each day.  Board games and sports are things we recommend.  (Chat rooms, in my opinion, are a waste of time, unless it’s a traditional Catholic one – and even then it still may be a waste of time.) Regarding almost everyone you know being caught up in impurities, that's also a complaint we’ve heard from others.  It’s quite obvious that, especially today, almost everyone out there is in bondage to sins of the flesh and that the devil has accelerated his push in this area.  He is attacking extremely hard in this area because he knows he can win almost everyone this way.  In fact, it seems that most people live only for sins of that nature.  At the time of Fatima, Our Lady revealed to Jacinta that most souls are lost through such sins:

Frere Michel, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. 2, p. 47: “… Jacinta had a question: ‘Sometimes, (Lucy recalls) she would ask: What sins do people commit to go to hell?...’ This question preoccupied Jacinta.  To warn souls, she wanted to know for what sins so many souls are damned.  She was not satisfied with Lucy’s answers, so she asked the Most Holy Virgin during the apparitions she had during her sickness… the response of Our Lady [was]: ‘The sins which lead the most souls to hell are sins of the flesh.’”

If that’s what Our Lady revealed near the beginning of the last century, one cannot even begin to think what Our Lady would say today.  Since so many are in bondage to sins of the flesh, it’s very hard to get them interested in spiritual things.

1 Corinthians 2:14- “But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.”
