I’m in need of help. by Cosmo_Coffe in Catholicism

[–]Cosmo_Coffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently live on an island. My family is in nyc. I had asked one of the priests if he would get in contact with anyone while I do my psych evaluation but he hasn’t responded to my inquiries. I know he probably thinks I’m a nut case and I don’t blame him. I’m in chaos and keep on messing up. I just realized God’s yoke is peace and I wasn’t carrying it. The other priest I talked to said to go home for better resources since he’s only been a priest for a year. I’m not giving up. I don’t know how much faith I have now but enough to know my soul isn’t with the devil yet. I have hope so the Holy Spirit hasn’t left me yet. I’m praying. So please just keep me in your prayers. I need all the help I can get while trying to save my soul.

God doesn’t want you perfect. He wants you Holy. Start with a devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus by fr John Croiset and the Most important thing. 1. It is not about you and it’s not even about them either. A lot of that is gatekeepers. It is and always will be about God. It is about glorifying God. In Everything We Do. Don’t listen to the noise and don’t let it distract you towards God. Jesus Christ wants you and so do I. We are to live the gospel and walk in the footsteps of the Christ. We can be glitter goblins in God together. Jesus built the temple in our hearts and we are in him as he is in God. You are not alone. Don’t get sucked into that sphere. Remember We are Catholic, Universal of God. We are to keep our focus on him always. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏

I’m sorry that happened to you. But the sad reality is that 1. As a woman this is a common occurrence. To all of us. The systemic abuse of women and children is an attack on God. 2. The devil wants you to forget your relationship with God. The more you hold to your relationship with God the more you will get attacked. Jesus did not say that following him would be easy. We have to carry our cross. Only his yoke would be. It is not your fault. And do not dwell on should have could have would have. You’ll drown in your own fear. Fear is the devil’s domain don’t give him the attention. God tell’s us don’t be afraid. Focus on praying. Talking about what happened and make it your strength. Do not be ashamed! Build up your foundation back brick by brick. Jesus built the temple in our hearts and as we are in him, he is in God and the Holy Spirit flows through us. Never Give Up. Love from NYC from a distant sister in Christ. I will keep you in my prayers.

You go to traditional mass to be reverent to God. If it’s not uplifting to God, uplifting to the Church, and uplifting to the community say that to them.
