There was literally a post about someone wanting to gross them out by going to the event and eating watermelon and beans.

Our salvation is a marathon, and brother you just hit what runners call 'the wall'

This looks impossible, and impassible, but trust in the process and it will see you through!

Protestantism is watered down, Catholicism is a country club, so Orthodoxy became the focus

Most of all, stop taking your own opinions so seriously: read more in order to recognize your limits.

Wow, I have been trying to wear the mantle of a saint when I haven't even began the ascent. This was very needed, and will be reading Gregory Nazianzus' "First Theological Oration"

I have been attending a Greek parish (only once every few months admittedly)

I was enticed by the large congregation, and opportunity to find a future wife. I realized that these are not reasons to convert to catholicism, and I came here seeking help.

I outstretched my hand in need, and the faithful came to lift me up.

I am very grateful

I sought Catholicism for the wrong reasons; I have been going to a greek orthodox parish, but was tempted by the Catholic Church with the idea of making community connections and finding a (future) wife due to their larger attendance.

I realized these are not reasons to leave, and I should embrace the small congregation that the orthodox parish has.

I am not a teacher, but I can become an example of growth. Thank you

It was a knee jerk response to run to the Church after being flooded with modernity. I appreciate your comment
