I will pray that God blesses and guides you in your journey, and sends you some great spiritual companions to help you in your journey of faith. Every gift God gives us is for the benefit of the Church in some way, so don't give up on finding a priest or trained lay person who can help you as a spiritual director; they're not always easy to find, but if you pray God will help you find the right person in time. May this Easter season continue to shower you with special graces!

For some time now I have been receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and wanted guidance with this. I met a priest and asked what this all meant I got very vague answers nothing that really explained what you did. After reading your article everything you mentioned even the part of “weird” I even asked why me? I have the gift of tongues I can never understand what I speak. Thank you so much for making it so easy to understand.<br />God Bless<br />Regards<br />Bernadette<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571775593743039867.post-89187774500413775342016-02-10T14:21:14.057-08:002016-02-10T14:21:14.057-08:00Ah, great!

'Cause I never said anything about giving money to Chick-Fil-A or anyone else, or about people being born or not born any particular way [insert Lady Gaga sound clip here], or really anything that would elicit your particular comment. But maybe you did read it, and then felt like throwing in something entirely unrelated. If that's the case, then hey, thanks for stopping by and let's hear it for free speech, no matter how random! ;) If that's not the case, then maybe you could read my post more carefully, and then initiate a conversation with someone about this issue, face-to-face. Let none of us be too chicken [bad pun intended] to engage in fruitful dialogue with other real people, in person.

If the profits from the organization were not used to donate to these anti-LGBT organizations, then Dan Cathy's opinion would be irrelevant and the whole boycott would be silly. But that is not the case. People are born homosexual, it is not a choice, and they shouldn't be denied rights because of the way they were born.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571775593743039867.post-31093684987115381512012-08-03T01:08:32.605-07:002012-08-03T01:08:32.605-07:00I think ultimately what I want from my friends is ...I think ultimately what I want from my friends is for them to say without reservation, "I believe you deserve equality under the law. I believe your love and life deserves the same respect and recognition as anyone else's. I will stand up for you. I will stand with you.". I am tired of people making excuses for why they don't or won't. I don't mean you. I have always found you to be one of the more fair minded people I know. I am just exhausted of trying to explain why it's important that I be treated equally. It makes me feel crazy sometimes. What if gay and straight people had the same rights and protections? Wouldn't we all be better for that? I think we would. And imagine a society where children could grow up and know that even if they were gay that they could be supported by their society. I didn't grow up with that and it was scary and sad. I want more for kids today. I want more for myself.Alnoreply@blogger.com
