    My biggest desire in life was to found a family and have kids. I reached 50 and that didn't happen. There was a time when I was so angry and furious with God that I stopped praying and quit Mass. I left Him aside and got on with my life. Took me a long time to understand that no matter our desires, they won't get real if they don't fit in the plan He has for us. So I finally surrendered, got back Home, and accepted whatever He had in store for me, good or bad.

    Thank you Sr. Maria Regina for this wisdom. Thanks to you I got the sign of our beloved God again, that my girlfriend is not only a gift from God, but also a sign that a marrriage with is her is my vocation. Since I am in a relationship with her, so many good things are happening. This years lent was so miraculous to me. Through my girlfriend I got much closer to God. I learned new things that helped me alot with my life as a christian. I am so thankful and grateful for her and also for this channel!
    Blessed be Jesus Christ!

    Thank-you, Sister. I started writing down my desires and considering them, and several down the list I suddenly realized that one of my desires (that I guess I hadn't articulated to myself before) would have _not_ been met down a path I used to very much wish God would let me walk. It can sometimes be hard to receive a 'No' from God, for sure... but reflecting on this desire of my heart and how God moved me away from a direction that would have given me the opposite, is helpful reminder of God's personal affection and desire for our good. (PS I'd still appreciate prayers from anyone here, so I can move not just away from 'No's but towards a 'Yes'. Thank you!)

    Heavenly Father please hear my prayers. I keep crying out asking for prayers. I’m struggling to provide for my two autistic children since losing my job over not getting the vaccine. I have pre existing health condition (Lupus) and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption by Forsyth Hospital. My husband passed away three years ago, so I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are non verbal so things are very difficult. I don’t know how we are going to make it. It’s almost May a new month and I’m short on rent again. If I can’t come up with the rest I’ll be homeless. Every month is a struggle. I’m so embarrassed of my situation. I’m so sick of struggling every month and being put down over my situation. BUT NO MATTER WHAT I have Faith that God will provide! He is faithful. He knows my heart! He will save me and my children from poverty.

    I use to be a rough type of guy but then I turned my life over to Jesus. All you have to do is let him be the driver and you are the passenger. Eventually Jesus let's you drive and that's when the real fun begins because then you drive Him. You will feel compelled to do Nice things for nothing in return. I started Volunteering all the time. I paint fire alarms all over Queens for Free. It's a Gift from my Mother and I to you. Why would we do such a thing? Jesus. That's why . This has been one heck of a ride so far. And all I had to do was go back to Church.

    I might offer that our ability to hear the direction of our Lord becomes most clear as we recognize our absolute DEPENDENCE on His directing our every moment. Requires very intentional silence, complete humility and a developed TRUST that God will break into my life in each moment where He wants me to act. Now, plenty of times I will not take the direction - which leads me to ask Him to help me do better today than yesterday. Still waiting to awaken with the feeling that I got everything right the previous day. Thank God that He loves us because of who He is and "whose" we are. Love the image (and Truth) that it is all about receiving the gift of His LOVE. All brides of CHRIST.

      How do you know you missed it? I sometimes get scruples and those are a mega occasion of sin for me. Definitely sometimes stuff looks like an opportunity for grace missed for me but it's actually a temptation to discouragement. I don't know why He would give us directions we aren't able to follow. My way of thinking doesn't totally make sense haha, although it's better than the self hate I had before, I want it to make sense lol. it is confusing. Like I thought God wanted me to exercise, I experienced it along with a bunch of thoughts that were saying "DO IT NOW OR ELSE GOD WILL BE MAD," I chose not to because of how I knew I was overworked, I thought God probably wanted me to practice trusting Him to be nurturing and patient, not like aggressive and resentful, but I remembered that God wanted me to exercise. a few weeks later I wasn't so overworked, my little brother encouraged me to work out and I actually did it because I had been thinking about how God wanted me to do that, it helped me not to take it personally that he was not tactful with his suggestion (lol) and we totally bonded over it. Whereas if I listened to the "do it or else" voice I would have gotten discouraged I bet. Idk. And then I would have probably sucked at being nice to my brother. The good and bad voices are so mixed up. It's challenging.

    Growing up I thought I knew what I wanted. I wanted to be married at 18 and start having babies right away as well as be a stay at home mom. 18 passed me by and I got married at age 24. I was infertile for 3.5 years and had two early miscarriages, one in April and one in August. It's been several months and I'm overwhelmed because I dont know what I want anymore. I thought I had it all planned out. Now i am so uncertain of everything. Last night I was doing some deep thinking. I was thinking about how our parish priest talks often about children and their vocations. He says parents will ask their children what they want to be when they grow up. But what they need to be asking them is what does God want us to be when we grow up. The truth is, as an adult I need to ask God this same question. What does God want of me? And instead of worrying about it, ask God to lead me and show me.

You have a beautiful family. Children are a gift, the kids you have now are more than enough. I’m sure God has more wonderful plans for you. The miscarriage must have been painful. You can count on my prayer sister.

    Thank you, it’s great to hear this spoken of after years of pushing this under the carpet. I tried to see if I had a vocation years ago, but my catechism was too weak even thought my parents were so strong, they let the Catholic school take over and that did it, put me off. A big shame because it may have put a yes on my heart. So many like this…

    Wow. I heard the last bit about prayer.
    I haven't prayed consciously and intentionally in about a month. I talk to God here and there but I've just been feeling spiritually dry.
    The last bit on reading about prayer in the Cathecism stood out to me. I go to the catechism in my room to bookmark it,and after opening a random page, I sound that the random page is on the very subject/chapter I was trying to find.
    Might be a coincidence but blessed be God.

    This should be required listening for all Christians. My catechesis began 20 years ago, but I only reached this understanding of discernment within the last few years (after switching to a parish that offers the Traditional Latin Mass).

    Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, brought high morality into this world, thereby he changed this world, changed the matrix of human perception! He prepared this world for the coming of the COMFORT about which he prophesied, announced the coming of the spirit of truth, which will speak not of itself! What does it mean to speak not from oneself? Who in history brought something that he called a revelation from God, and in which book after the New Testament is there a mention of Jesus, peace be upon him?
    This book is called the Quran and tells the story of Jesus peace be upon him in Surah "Maryam" and "The Family of Imran"
    The soil that Jesus the world prepared for him was one of the main reasons that Islam spread so quickly! His words recorded in the Bible: "Hear, Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength" - this is what Muslims believe today and this is what Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, peace be upon them all preached about, they all spoke about the One God, and did not say anything about the son of God! This God is described in the Quran! Take a look back and tell me who changed the course of history as the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, changed it? Who called to bow to God all the prophets after Jesus, peace be upon him? Is there after Jesus peace be upon him, a person comparable in the call to the One and Only God with Muhammad peace be upon him?
    If the Koran were not from God, then it would not tell about the Living, Existing God, the God of Abraham! Many signs of the day of judgment have already come true, the next one who will come will no longer be the Comforter, but the Antichrist. Read the revelations and accept what your Mind accepts, your mind is from God and He will ask in accordance with what He has given! No need to treat life like a lottery, look for the Truth! Having witnessed faith in the Trinity and faith in the son of God, you automatically testify that you do not believe in the One and Only God, the God about whom the Prophets brought news! "The Lord, our God, the Lord is one", One means One, not only One for all people, but also One in His Essence who has no Partners in the creation of everything that exists!
    P.S. The Holy Spirit is a hypostasis of God and cannot carry prophetic functions and be sent by someone! If he can, then he is limited to a third person and does not fall under the definition of God in the Bible, as he is limited and does something against his will.

      God doesn't exist as a person in the sky. But God exists as cuantic energy wave - at least that's what Sadhguru said. Of course, we can use other words for that like Divinity, Universe, etc. So Yoga talks about being in tune with that background cosmic vibration named as sound OM\AUM. And Jesus is just another name for the human consciousness, not a person. People take the Bible as literal and that's wrong. Someone said that the Bible is just a representation of all human psyche. The 12 apostles represent the 12 virtues\ideals and Jesus represents the perfect human being. Only after we achieve those 12 virtues we can become Jesus. It makes more sense this interpretation.

      Jesus Christ, who is God, became man. He walked this earth as you or I do, He became like us. And He came to die for us. He came to die for us so that we could receive His life and so be saved from our own human misery. He called 12 men to be His apostles, and He calls men and women still today to follow Him, to be loved by Him, to know Him and to be changed by such a mighty Love. He calls out to me, He calls out to you, in love He cries out to us. He doesn’t just exist as an idea, but He exists. To say He exists is to say He exists as a person, someone whom we could speak with and be spoken to by. He is one who wants to be with us, though we have nothing really to give Him, He has created us and He loves us
