Hi,
I’m really trying to find my way in the world. I have a lot of ideas on things I want to do, but I am just getting started, and I feel overwhelmed. I don’t know what I can do for a job or career. I don’t really think in those terms. I just want to serve mostly, and to spread the Gospel. I have interests in science and music, although I am not particularly good at either. What I was thinking recently is if I could become a decent Catholic apologist, kind of like the people on this site. How do I get an education to be competent to respond to people’s questions about the Catholic faith? But most of all I am worried about what I am going to do for a living, to support myself. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism, and I get very overwhelmed in many situations, and it is hard to just get out and do things because of this. I get so stressed out at school. I decided to take a semester off from college, to devote some time to more prayer and service with charities. I am looking for Catholic organizations I can volunteer to do service with. I am really unsure what I am going to do in order to live out my vocation and find my calling from God. I had thought about becoming a priest or religious brother. But I don’t know if that is something I am capable of doing, nevermind whether God wants me to do it. I know I won’t be happy doing anything other than what God made me to do, and I really want to be guided by Him.
If you would pray that I find my way, and be put in contact with people who can help me discern what God wants me to do, and in service of programs and organizations that fulfill my full potential of charity to the world, I would be greatly appreciative. Any advice or ideas or encouragement is welcome to. Sometimes I get depressed about this because I can’t seem to figure things out, and I don’t know the people who can help me. I’ve been going to Mass and Eucharistic Adoration every day for the past 3 weeks almost. What other sort of things can I do? I want to talk to my pastor, who has been on vacation for a week. I just met him today at Eucharistic adoration at my parish, but I wasn’t able to talk to him. So please just pray for me. Pray that I will be able to serve to my fullest.
Thank you,
Joshua
