I’ve enjoyed your perspective very much. I’ve met priests from Africa and Asia that were full of love and wisdom. Bless you for helping us here in America too; and reminding us that Christianity is not the enemy of mankind; although some bad Christians by themselves may be.

Yes perseverance is the key thing, waiting on the Lord and keep knocking. He can only delay and not deny us. God bless you.

Obilor. The Holy Spirit has talked to me this morning through you, encouraging me to keep trusting God. Prayer is the master key and with praise and thanksgiving should we bring our petitions to God. He knows what is the best for us and He gives it to us at His appointed time. He is never late. Our ways are not His ways. We see only the present but He sees the future. Let us continue to pray in our difficulties and ask God for the grace to pesevere as He sees us through.

Peace.

So beautifully explained and easy to grasp. It is a problem, falling into the habit of praying mechanically, one I constantly struggle with. Sometimes I ask God to take the effort as the prayer! So sorry you lost your mother to heaven, but of course she isn’t gone from you: your mother will always hold you in love. God bless.
