Let me be the first to say, in a spirit of honest confession and a bit of necessary good humor, that I have certainly not been without my moments of being a real cranky muffin on here, sharp in a few responses, given either the gravity of a topic or a flurry of misunderstanding in tone. Sigh… I’m also dealing with some anxiety, so hey, there you have it. Okay.
That all being said, it’s just a bummer to come around here and see Catholics either assuming the worst of each other, reveling in conflict instead of Divine beauty, arguing more than creating solutions, flagging posts that don’t need to be flagged, but most of all, paying the most attention to the looooooong threads of heated, loaded, unsolvable moral pain in our suffering world, while threads about beautiful Christian art depicting Jesus get little attention at all.
The first thing I wanted to do when I got on here was just to tell everybody how much I love Jesus, so much that it hurts in the mist beautiful way that I can’t understand. I just want to love Him forever, and I wanted use this place of fellow travelers to sing about it. The best thing someone said to me in response was so kind and awesome. They just said, “I’m like you! I just want to be with Our Lord.”
The perpetual rosary is also good stuff!
Everybody here is struggling with something. Everybody here is carrying some burden. Some people are housebound or don’t live around other Catholics or just have a totally uninspiring, unengaging Catholic community where they live, and this might be the only known place a person can talk about things of importance with other Catholics on a daily basis.
What am I trying to say? That I wish we Catholics would just be better to each other, and not be like the rest of the world, because we’re seriously commanded to not be like everybody else. And hey, like I said, I own my part, folks. Petty sin and growing grace are daily struggles for me, too. It’s hard.
If there’s anyone else on here who wants to see Catholics being better, full of the spirit, standing out and above the sludge of a fallen world both on and off the internet, you’re not alone. Let’s do something beautiful together.
