Hi,

Please pray for supportive communities for everyone. Sometimes individual help isn’t enough for a lot of people, and we really need a building of community to be able to help each other. I feel like we are a society of social workers and not of neighbors. Also, please pray for a friend of mine who is having a rough day and some rough times, a rough life actually, that she finds some supportive community and that so do I because I need a supportive community to be able to help her and others. It feels so difficult to be available for people, because it’s like we are all facing everything alone, and we don’t have a neighborhood that is behind us to come together to lift us up and support us when we need that kind of community. Things are just getting overwhelming.

Joshua
 
God is always walking beside you. You and your intentions will be in my prayers tonight.
 
Also, I just feel like an outsider when I am in Church. I lector, I sing in the choir, but it just feels like I don’t belong. I believe in everything the Church teaches, and I love to understand the faith more, and I am trying to apply it. I feel like the members of the Church have become “atomized”. Where is our holy communion. I don’t feel a sense of communio, and I don’t think anyone else does either. I don’t feel like we are all one Body with Christ as the Head. It seems much worse torture has been done to Christ’s Body, after His passion and death than was done during it.

Please everyone continue to pray for a true Holy Communion amongst all the Catholic faithful. I don’t think we are going to bring non Catholics into the fold if we are not in Communion with each other in Christ the Head.

I’ve got the theology and doctrine worked out, but somehow I’ve got to apply it to practice. I can’t do this alone. This is not about me getting involved in a parish like being a Catholic is some kind of career choice.
 
*Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed
is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death

Amen.*
 
I’ve been struggling for the last week with feeling like an outsider at my own church.

Praying!
