Thank you for sharing. I really need to work on this, please pray for me. I live away from family and dont have any friends in my community so this feels very overwhelming. I will pray that you feel better too. Also, I found out about your podcast when you prayed the rosary with manyhailmarysatatime and I am loving every episode. Thank you for being such a light!
This was WONDERFUL, thank you!!
