On behalf of my Church and my position as a Catechist I sincerely apologize that you were so badly catechized and formed. I only ask that you do not give up on God because of the failings of men.
Peace be with you
I experienced God’s love at a time I most needed Him, after my mother’s death when I was but still a child. He’s been there for me and with me forever after, in a very real and meaningful way the rest of my life. But, this was and is through the Holy Spirit’s doings, His promptings, guidance, teaching, and love, and not by man (so no one may boast).
