This is a serious and sincere post. I offered my rosary today for the conversion of Xavier and I ask others to join me. The young man is in desperate need of prayers as he is headed down the wrong path.

I'll offer a decade or two for Nishant, for his conversion.

I agree. He seemed to take a turn shortly after TC was issued by Bergoglio. I think that confused him very badly. As I speculated earlier, he's really battling within himself more than with or against others. After he went silent for a while, he re-emerged with that post about the SV assasin.
Then I saw him take another shift after reading Salza. Whereas he used to be pro-SSPX, he now describes himself as a non-anti-SSPX Indult Catholic.
Then he took another turn in the wake of Salza, declaring that he would not be decent to those who aren't decent to him ... and came out swinging.
:pray:
He's internally very conflicted about what to make of the Conciliar Church. That's one reason he clings so much to private revelation.

Fantastic thread idea QvD. I pledge every other day this week and next week I will offer a Rosary for him. My intention will be "clarity in Faith for Xavier Nishant".

Xavier is getting what he craves most - attention, and what he is most in need of - prayer. :pray:

If I were Nishant's spiritual director, I would recommend the following:
1) continue writing articles if you think they will benefit souls, but use a pseudonym and do it anonymously (lest you be in it for your own glory and motivated by pride). HINT: if you find the thought of this difficult, then you are in fact motivated by pride. Force yourself to write anonymously to overcome the pride.
2) before writing an article, consider if there aren't already other articles out there on the proposed subject that are already very good, and even better than what you can write. If so, don't write the article but keep the link and be prepared to send it out instead of writing your own.
3) rededicate the time you saved with step #2 to prayer for the souls afflicted by a certain error ... and do it in a way that's unknown to anyone but your director
4) discern whether your drive to become a "missionary" with an "apostolate" is truly motivated by love for souls or, rather, by pride. If the answer is unclear, refrain from the activity, since activity motivated by pride will not bear fruit and can do harm to your own soul.
5) most importantly, do not undertake any such activities, writing articles or missionary activities, unless approved by your spiritual director ... who is in the best position to discern whether or not your motivations are pure.
These are the types of considerations a spiritual director makes whenever a soul wants to undertake some activity, perform some penance, etc. It's of utmost importance to filter out prideful motivatioins. Pride is in fact the most deadly of the vices and can sneak in very subtly, disguised as an "angel of light". It can easily appear to be virtue when it's actually a vice. Once it takes root, it can destroy a soul.
So, for instance, a spiritual director might test one of his "diriges". Soul comes to him stating a motivation to perform some extraordinary penance or dramatic undertaking. So the director would refuse the permission and gauge the dirige's reaction. If the dirige joyfully complies, then perhaps next time you would grant the permission. If there's pushback or resistance or even discomfort on the part of the dirige, you know that there's pride lurking there. That is why obedience is so important. It is most certainly a greater penance more pleasing to God to submit in obedience to NOT doing a penance than in undertaking a great and dramatic one or your own volition. Greatest of mortifications is of the will and of pride. Period.
So, above all, find a good spiritual director and submit to him.
There's a story about St. Francis. He had gone many years without eating meat. One time he and some of his brothers were guests somewhere, and they were offered meat. St. Francis ate it without hesitation. So his brother asked him, "Wasn't it difficult to eat it?" St. Francis replied: "Not at all. It would have been rude to our host and an offense against charity not to." So he wasn't the least bit motivated by his ego in having undertaken that penance and therefore was not the least bit upset about ending his "streak" (an ego thing).

Praying
:pray:

Will keep a Holy Hour of Rosaries now for each of you, especially for those who explicitly said you are praying for me. Thanks, I appreciate it. Let's pray for each other always, that we may each be strengthened in Grace, in Faith, and in Charity.
Clearly, this kid is completely OBLIVIOUS respecting WHY this thread was begun and WHY people believe he needs prayers. :fryingpan:

You think so? I do not. But just in case:
Nishant!!!!
They are praying for your conversion from your false religion, your syncretist, false apparitions-nic, Assisi ecuŠ¼enist, flaming New Age "religion"!
They are praying for you to stop making a fool out of yourself on CI. Your current personality is an insult to even conservative Novus Ordo's, let alone Indult, SSPX, Resistance, Sede....

I know he reads my postings when I see his down thumb. He is the quickest and most frequent down thumber on CI.

You are the Fool, You Dimondite Thug.
I am an Indult Traditionalist Roman Catholic
That's as far as I read.
It is an insult to Indult Mass Catholics for the writer to call himself one of them. It is an insult for him to call himself anything but an unfortunately poorly catechized liberal Novus Ordo.

I am an Indult Traditionalist Roman Catholic who works hard in 18-hour Days to take care of his poor mother and impoverished family. By God's Grace, I am an Investment Manager in one of the Best Companies in all the world, a dream job for millions of Americans and Europeans even, let alone crores of Indians. I work hard to provide for myself and my family.
In addition that, unlike you loafers, I've worked hard promoting the Catholic Faith, to Protestants, Orthodox, Atheists, Secularists, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Satanists and just about every manner of non-Catholic and non-Christian imaginable. Should I say sorry for that? You say sorry for doing nothing for the Faith and attacking those who are.
In my 18-Hour Days, about 12 go for Work. I will keep 2 Hours, One in Morning and One in Evening, for Rosary, to begin with. If you don't want the Graces of my Prayers, it's your loss. I will pray for those who pray for me for whatever reason.
You were promoting Hinduism in the other thread and using an NO apologist tactic to defend it, that isn't remotely Traditional let alone traditional. If that makes anyone else a "Dimondite" and a "thug" I am cheerfully so.

The irony is that you often exhibit the same nastiness as the Dimonds.
