Hi all

I ask you humbly to pray for me as:

1) If feel sincerly that I have not been a very humble or good catechumen so far
2) I sometimes get some frustrated and even angry here, like in the headcover = legalistic thread in conversions issues forum
3) I do struggle with passions and after a good run on the pure side, boom, I am back at the dark side.

When I find myself asking God if there is any hope for me, I understand that things are not so OK.
More personal that I perhaps should have been, but I want to do better and be more humble.

So please, pray for me.
God bless you.

The reason why clichés are so satisfying is because the truth never loses its residual force.

You're definitely not alone, especially with numbers 1 and 3. I've been in a rut basically since Christmas, although I struggle with skepticism probably more than with passions. But then, I guess we've all got our own Cross to bear... pray for me as well, please.
