Thank you :)
Thank you for praying for my grandpa and my family-I mean that from the bottom of my heart. We were told that my grandpa had a poor prognosis, so my parents took an emergency flight to India. My mom hasn’t seen him in 4 years and is very close to him. She wasn’t taking it well when she found out, so I prayed that she’ll at least get to see and speak him before he passed away. I...

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, And the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know...

Pope Benedict XVI says that people should trust in God’s loving plan for their lives, even when events do not meet their expectations.
“When we ask the Lord for something in prayer, we must not expect an immediate fulfillment of our requests, of our will,” he said at his Dec. 14 general audience.
“Rather, we should entrust ourselves to the will of the Father, reading events in the...

After confessing all my sins:
Confessor: *long pause* I think you're being too hard on yourself.
Me: *surprised* what do you mean...?
Confessor: You're trying to live up to other people's expectations. You need to be best version of yourself-the person who God created you to be- not what your family or friends want you to be. Be yourself. Be the very best version of yourself....for penance I want you to pray your favorite prayers and just be in the presence of God...let go and let God.

GROSS: Do you still go to church?
Mr. FALLON: I don’t go to – I tried to go back. When I was out in L.A. and I was kind of struggling for a bit. I went to church for a while, but it’s kind of, it’s gotten gigantic now for me. It’s like too… There’s a band. There’s a band there now, and you got to, you have to hold hands with people through the whole Mass now, and I don’t like doing that....
