I did that exactly, and I was so desperate to be understood!! And I have now dated this man for years now. We have our own issues and this is not about us, but I can say that because of him and his mother I was pulled out of my path as I tried to forge my one way ticket to Hell on purpose because I believed I deserved it. His mother a Gnostic and he a practicing Hermetic, I was readidly accepted. But that emptiness, that pain, that whole in my heart just grew. And when forced by my mother out of fear for my own life by my tormentor freshly out of jail being sent to my home in the middle of the night (I was in my new apartment) and when I refused to open the door (they were trying to force me to just “get over” my fear and not talk about it and come to their house to stay the night with him there while mom worked at night and my step dad was gone on the road as a truck driver and I outright refused and began to make clear the inspecting of my apartment, improptu visits to check the cleanliness of my home, coming in my home when I was not there without my permission, only coming over to do these things and never staying to eat, or talk with me, or have an adult relationship, refusing to acknowledge my feelings or respecting the rules of my home, being treated and ordered around like a six year old when I am nearly 30 and have been a sucessful advocate who has spoken nationally on the subject of Autism many times finally hit a head.

She started to plague me. I felt unsafe in my own home. I would spend days when seh was off out in town, not coming back till late, and my poor kitties would be forced to deal with them as I had no recourse till I spoke to Zack’s mom about it. That night when he forced himself (stepbrother) into my home after showing up at my work where my co-workers whom I had told everything hid me in the back till they got him away, his screaming and his treatment of my place scaring me so deeply that I hid when he busted in, waiting for him to enter into the kitchen area before I bolted out of the dark bathroom and ran out the bedroom door where I had a way to get outside and hid out in the cold in nothing but a nightgown with my phone in one hand and my athame Vking dagger in another in the bushes across the street.

After that, when the email I recieved after I confessed all that had happened showed the lack of care of that side of the family, my heart was broken again and I was forced, for my own mental health, which was near collapse and I was very close to have a complete nervous breakdown after being stalked, guilt tripped, followed, and persued online. My brother whom I adored and to whom I had been closer to anyone in the world stabbed me in the back, sided with my tormentor, and has sense become nasty, hostile, and bitter. And the pain, along with the loss of my job began to close in on me. THen one day, I fell onto EWTN while it had a special on one of my favorite epic poems, Dante’ s Divine Comedia. The words connected and I felt the Spirit inside of me for the first time in years!!

The rosary I kept, that I had used sometimes in more Christianized rituals, I began to use in its intended use. Promptly at 9pm with Mother Angelica I began to say the Rosary with the Nuns, and I felt her!!! I felt Our Lady!! She called out to my heart! She told me to “come home, come home Little One! We are waiting for you. We still love you. Let us show you the way!” others may believe what they want but she speaks through my heart and I do not report things that are not true of such matters! I watched and watched more and more of the channel, and began to read on the Saints. They to called out to me, and through their stories I began to weep. And God began to reach out as I prayed the rosary every night, begging me to pray. “Speak to me my child. Speak to me like you used to. I am still here, I’ve been waiting for you, I have so many people here pulling for you! My Mother has been seeking and seeking you from the moment you left!” and a deep love in my heart has been born for Our Lady and the Saints ever since.

I picked up CIty of God, and the arguments against paganism, and the inspiring connection to the Faith was born. And a deep desire began to be born inside my soul. The more I learned, the more it connected to what I had studied before. That connection that had been lost is back, and it is more profound, deeper, and more powerful than anything I ever felt! I feel complete, the Saints are my friends, my spiritual Elders, my teachers, and my Mother’s love has worked to heal the deep wounds of my soul made by the violence in my life. I have held onto the examples of Saint Monica and Saint Rita as women who had been in vilent households. But tonight has brought a break through, long after I have made the decision, invited Christ back into my heart, givien myself completely into the hands of my Lady and the guidance of the Saints.

Filled with the Spirit, I continue to watch and learn. I have fears I deal with. Many are not friendly in my circles to Catholicism and I seek to begin RCIA as soon as possible. But I have constant leg spasms and have for seven years that appeared out of nowhere. They travel all over my body now, have wrecked my already fragile immune, caused massive weight loss my traveling up my spine, and made it impossible for me to be able to drive. This leaves me at the mercy of the one opperating car of the household and several people in need of it and having zero people outside of the web that are Catholics and attend one of the local parishes, particulaly the one I filled guided to.
 
I call myself Catholic in my heart. I feel complete, and have spent this time here at home without a job examining myself and removing out of my life all pagan rituals, mindsets, ways of thinking. I feel led to do this for me. Ince again this is my path and do not wish to set anyone off. But that way has led to nothing but empty promises at best and horrible things that have brought violence at worse, in particular invoking a patron diety to charge a crystal for a friend andhaving him participate as he was asking for it done and he not telling me that he had attached to him a dark and violent energy that went after me. On the silver lining, my belief in the true power invested by God and Peter and our Holy Lady was cemented when he couldn’t stand to be even touched by the rosary and when I wrapped it around him this scream, it wasn’t human nor was the latin it shouted at me in response when I began in same latin to chant the Ave Maria.

I know this is the True Church, feel it within my very being, my Faith that felt like it was fundementally missing something, that it felt stripped raw and was not full or complete I have found in the CHurch everything in its Perfected Completion! In the Mother I find hope, a perfect guide who seeks ever after my good, who leads me to books that deepen my faith and help me learn all the deep and wonderfull theology of the Early Fathers of the Faith. She and Saint Thomas More have brought me new understanding in the Scriptures I also had once cast aside. I can’t get enough of reading the Saints, of other Catholics and their walk. And they make me take very painful looks back into the very heart of where all this pain comes.

Tonight, I was tormented with my issues with lust. Pride and lust are my greatest vices. I am not outwardly lustful, it is something hidden, something no one would ever suspect of me. The desire to do things to myself, the pornographic images that need no computer or net to be in my head. Unholy desires which I use to relieve myself with a constant regularity that makes me ashamed I came to our Lord and Lady in a panic tonight, calling on Saint Rita in particular to help me. And she led me to another Saint of who I read about briefly before, Saint Maria Goretti. An article about treatment and healing for Catholics plagued with lust smote me through the heart. It cut me to the quick. It spoke about neglect, abandoment, the abuse, that feeling of being robbed, that need to try and make it so I am in control. If I am in control I can make it right. I can make it feel right. And the paradox of something feeling right and horribly wrong at the same time but wanting that feeling to much to care.

That need for vengenace, the hatred. The stress and the deep seated pain. THat sense of overwhelming shame and inability to be able to stop myself. And I began to weep, to speak, to God and the Saints and Maria. Remembering her bravery and her courage I begged her to pray for me. To make me feel true and holy love, to truly, truly be able to love those who wronged me. I want to. I don’t want to hate, or be filled with this rage, or fill this need to hurt the people who wronged me. And her small voice took me into the bathroom and I knelt before the mirror. And the small inner voice told me “repeat after me” and I did. That I forgave my tormentor, forgave the neglect. That I will turn to the Virgin and to God and cry out aloud whnever the urge became greater than my strength. That I wasn’t going to be ashamed anymore and whenever I felt these urges, to confess even though I was not yet part of the Church. And I promised that as soon as I had the opportunity and the means I would persue going to Mass and attend the RCIA faithfully.

She had me rise, wipe my face, and kiss the tissue with my tears before casting it away. And when it hit the waste basket, it felt like a massive weight upon my soul was gone!!

Maria Goretti I have chosen now as my Patron Saint, alongside Saint Rita and the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. People may find me rather strange, or not understand my need to tell the fullness of this tale this morning. But Saint Maria is watching me, and I feel her love and she is telling me to come forward, and it doesn’t matter if no one believes me, as long as I am faithful to being her witness. Little Maria has pointed me to her Father, who has embraced me tonight in love. Long has He sought me, and many times he has had to rope me back. With Our Lady’s help, Saint Maria and Rita and Christopher help me, let it be His last. Pray for me to not be afraid and for Jesus to send me a way to go to St. Agnes Church.
 
Once again, fellows who are pagans, this is my personal path and not meant to slight you or how you feel. But that Path led only to hiding from myself and to misery. A seperation from God that wounded my soul. And it is true, it feels like I’ve come home! Praise be to God!!

I hope my witness tonight can be of service to another breaking heart out there like mine. And that God remembers us, on the Spectrum who are cast aside and/or reviled even within our own Community and help us get the services we need so that we might be able to do great things for His Kingdom.

Saint Maria Goretti, pray for us the wounded, broken, and weeping.
Saint Rita of Cascia pray for us that our Faith and Love of God grow strong and lead us all through our Darkest of Hours
Saint Monica pray for us with your mother’s heart and may we feel your love and your guidance always and help us know that we are always welcome “back home” where you and Jesus await us.
Our Lady be forever with us, seek out the lost ones like me and never give up on us, we want your Son but have been swallowed in our sorrows and in the material world and forgot how to find Him without your aid. Help us remember how to reach out, how to love, and how to pray
Saint Aleydis pray for us that our Faith may grow in depth and in largeness and to never forget what gift we take into ourselves when we eat of the Bread and drink of the Wine.
Saint Christopher keep us safe and grant us thy prayers that God will lead us on the journey for which is Glory is manifested and His awesome Love is made clear before all the World and the forces of Darkness is kept back from us wounded ones in need of the strength of the Saints
Saint Michael protect us from all our demons, personal and otherwise, and pray for strength that we may be worthy of the awesome things that God has instore for each of us.
Saint Thomas More pray for us that we may be brave and never fear to speak truth to Power. Like you may we be our home’s good servant, but God’s first.

Lord Jesus thank you for not turning back on me when I betrayed you and the Baptism in which I promised myself to you. Cleanse me of my wrongs and lead me to your Church, that we may try again, this time for the last time, baptised in the Trinity and coming into the fullness of the Holy See that you formed.

For whom I write this, I do not know your name, nor why God has told me to reveal this or Maria called me to tell it all, without leaving out anything, but I hope that it blesses you and leads you to where it is that God is calling you and that what ever you have been through or are going through that God will heal you and lead you back home, like he did me, as unworthy as I am.
-St Aleydis Calling
