that I have come back to life. That I am born again on CA. A new life. A new improved version of good catholic.
Can I change my name to “very good catholic” now? I mean I haven t missed Mass since I last spoke to you. And I only left Mass early once because I couldn’t stand the final hymn.
Ive been reading, reading reading. Reflecting reflecting, reflecting. Praying? Well yeah that is definitely my achilles heel. Speaking of achilles heel, I suffer achilles tendinopathy. Man, I have to massage my foot every day or I cant walk. Such is the pain and suffering I endure for YOUR sake. Yes YOU!
But I read an excellent book on praying by Wayne Simsic. My intentions are noble, my action plan disappointing. Could I be the first ever Catholic to make it to Heaven with a below par prayer life?

Every time I go to pray, I question my sanity. And I just feel too guilty. Im afraid of being too disrespectful towards Him. Im convinced He’s really mad or disappointed in me. Like the angry father. Guess I should think of the Prodigal Son Father eh…

When my mind has been buzzing after some mental activity or has been over stimulated by some occurrence or other I try to remember that I should approach prayer calmly and with reverence since I speak to The Almighty, Creator of all things. Sometimes some erroneous thoughts get through but I know it’s okay because I have explained that I have a problem with that sometimes and I feel that He forgives me my weakness.

Pray with knowledge that your prayer is heard. Be calm and at peace if you can when you do, that’s my suggestion.
God bless.

Ps: the blessed Father Solanus Casey honestly thought people who didn’t believe in God we’re mad. I tend to agree. 😊
