I often wonder how many people who take antidepressants wouldn't need them if they just knew how to ask for His help. You just put it all in His hands and not your own, as you know. I'm so glad you are OK. Your post was very uplifting!

Only you can make such a huge decision about your Faith, because Faith is not only a Gift, it is an act of your own will.

If I could or would reveal the real lack of compassion, deception and lies that have encompassed my whole aware life as a Catholic, you might be amazed. It does seem that I have always had it strongly in my soul a GIFT of the Holy Spirit which discerned that these men who so negatively effected my entire life were just that ... merely men, with feet of clay.

The world is full of human beings with clay feet and it is up to you to ask the Holy Spirit to intervene to relieve your bitterness ... you will feel His Presence if you but ask.

My Faith is a dry faith, with small events wherein my emotions are stirred ... yet I believe in the One, Holy, Catholic Church and all of Her Teachings.

My sincere prayers for you and for others who are so hurt by this shirking of responsibility by the Hierarchy.

I feel like a newly minted COIN -- a Catholic Orphan In Need, myself!
