Hi,
Wanted to say prayers for those who have developed what is called “learned helplessness”, particularly for those who have had overprotective or domineering parents, who will not let their kids do anything without their help, like myself, and get mad when they go to anyone whom they do not approve of. My parents don’t trust Catholic priests much, and do not seem to think they really know what they are doing, and are probably afraid that priests would condemn them. I want you to pray that my parents learn to trust and listen to holy Catholic priests. I don’t know a single priest I’ve met who isn’t a holy and wise man. But so many people won’t go to them, because they think all we care about is dogma, and judging others, and we don’t care about love. I had a friend who said to me, “I need a priest but all the priests I’ve met, all they cared about was dogma and they didn’t care about love at all.” Her name is Amanda, so pray for her, she seriously needs prayers. Really badly messed up spritually and mentally and emotionally. Probably hates the Catholic Church and anyone who professes orthodoxy. Hates the idea of dogma. A severe relativist. Pray for those who are relativists, because that is the disease, the bloodsucking parasite that is feeding on the lives of people.
But please pray that I learn to do things on my own, without the help of my parents, and without letting them constantly intrude into my affairs. Ask the Holy Spirit to inspire someone to invite them to talk to a priest in a way that will not make them uncomfortable, because my parents need to trust the advice of priests, and trust the Catholic community. Pray that we as Catholics are trustworthy because we obey and live for God alone and not ourselves.
May God grant you grace and peace,
Joshua
May God give you grace and peace!
