- I am sick right now. Just a cold, from the recent 0 degree temperatures. I’ve been sick since Thursday evening.
- I don’t know where I’ll be in a month from now. Right now, I don’t have a way of paying the rent for February. I’ve been unemployed and depressed. My family isn’t in my life. I’m 26. I’m not welcome to live with my mother or my father. I have a brother who has made money through a very immoral line of work, so I wouldn’t live with him even if he could take me in. On Monday I will see my case worker at the counseling center, God Willing. And maybe she’ll be able to help me with the rent. There’s a Salvation Army here, and they’re open on Tuesday, so I’ll go on Tuesday if I can’t resolve it on Monday. So, God-willing, I’ll be able to get the rent for February paid.
- If this occurs, then I would very much like to go to some Catholic place. A lay community. Or maybe a parish has a job or a monastery has a job. I used to speak with one of the priests from EWTN, they might have a job. Or any priest might know of someplace I can stay. Maybe this place in Stockbridge, Massachusetts I keep hearing about. Anyways, I would like to go to some Catholic place and sort out my issues. Like St. Benedict went to the cave, like Jesus was in the wilderness. I’m too depressed living by myself, working a secular job and thats it. That’s survival mode, but when is it time to actually thrive? I’m never going to thrive here, just getting a job and waiting till my rent is over. A place that was hiring in the economically depressed place I live was robbed 2 days ago. It could have been me working there getting robbed.
Anyways. These are my 3 prayer intentions
To get the rent for this month paid, so I am not evicted.
To find a Catholic place to go. Where I can work, but also have community. And to give me passion in life again. And to live amongst friends, and honestly a replacement family for me. People cannot thrive alone, and this is why I have not thrived and been too depressed to work.
Feel free to PM me. I have very few people in my life that Im talking to about these things.
