I am trying to pray the Rosary daily.  When I downloaded the hallow app, I prayed the rosary with the app having the different voices lead and I would follow along. On the first night I chose the actor that plays Jesus in the Chosen to be the voice that led. Here is the link if you would like to download it and try for yourself:  Hallow - #1 Catholic Prayer and Meditation App I'm not sponsored; I'm not even using all the features since I'm using the free version which is limited to just a couple things but still super helpful.  A tragedy happened some time ago that a man killed a baby, I was around that time watching this video:  (220) The Holy Rosary: EVERYTHING You've Ever Wanted to Know w/ Gabi Castillo - YouTube I was praying the Rosary daily and knelt during the last sorrowful mystery and just cried and prayed for that baby.  I encourage you who are reading this, please pray the Rosary.

Another draft I never finished is this unfinished short story. If it is a good idea let me know and I'll keep working on stories based on Sunday's readings. ========================================================================== (Taken from the Gospel of the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time) ========================================================================== My Goal: Make weekly stories based on something from the week's Gospel for my spiritual growth and to use my talents for a form of evangelization. Characters: the people who make the story happen.           (Yessi (wears a red hat, and likes cooking, hates dishes, friends went to college, age 24),            Carl (likes dogs and camping, age 25)) Setting: the where and when of the story.           (Benque, Now) Plot: the events that happen in the story.  1. They are in zone of comfort - Carl is camping / Yessi is cooking...

Somewhat.  Here is the link to this year's goals. I put off the first goal most of the year. Thankfully I had mentioned it to Ms. Ashley, and she gave me the option to take RCIA classes in Belize City or talk to Fr. Tony to take them in Benque. I chose to talk to Fr. Tony and do it in Benque. He said I could take the classes with Ms. Anselma. So, for a number of weeks we have been meeting to read this book: Finding my vocation was not as easy. I talked to a volunteer here in Benque, an aspirant for the priesthood, and he told me about volunteering in the Caribbean. He saw the need for fathers, but he saw the need for priests was more. Also, from watching Pints with Aquinas I heard that your vocation is found when you feel your truest self. This year Father Tony gave me a book on prayer to read and following its guide and praying daily and going to daily Mass for a time I felt like my truest self. I felt more fulfilled than when I was in a relationship. That relationship ended late...
