Could you please pray for me? I'm still working for the Catholic Church, but only for two more weeks. I'm feeling very angry on the inside though. I don't want to feel angry, but this year has been extremely tough for me. I've worked a lot for this teaching job, even on weekends, even when dealing with illness, have lost much sleep over work, and then I'm criticized a lot. The vast majority of the [Catholic] students treat me with disrespect, and I don't really feel supported as much as I could be by the other people here. I'm not teaching next year, luckily. I just want to get through this horrible experience without harboring any ill feelings towards Catholics. I'm even wanting to hate Catholicism; it now seems so perverted to me. I know this is wrong, and I don't want to feel this way. I just want out of Catholicism completely.

Lord have mercy and free Your servant from the circumstances of unnerving coincidence among a sea of misguided individuals. That those misguided see their misconceptions so that healing and reconciliation prevail. God bless Your servant's journey to Orthodoxy.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth
