I live by faith, guided by spirit, communicate through prayer. There have been some scary moments in my life and will continue to be but through God's lifeline to me, Jesus Christ, I've been consoled, and continue to be. The hand of God is always near, its just a matter of if I'm looking for it and choose to take it. Prayer is just as important for me in good times as it is in the bad ones. Humble prayer is vital as is food and water, without it i feel alone, purposeless, not content, depressed, anxious, scared, worried. With it i sing joy, happiness, feel sociable, content, useful, purposeful, meaningful, and powerful.

I love St Mary's because it is God's house and I always feel welcome there. There are great people there, and I love to sing the upbeat songs. I enjoy meeting and talking to new people there. I continue to grow and foster the living spirit within through God's teaching and other Catholics sharing their experience. St. Mary's is essential to working and strengthening my faith. Father Jim is great, I can always relate to his practical and simple teachings.
