Thank you Fr Philip!
Thank you so much for today's sermon Father, amen
Thank you, Father Phillip. This is so! In my previous journey, it was almost boasting at times....or sly digs praying for someone in the cloak of gossip. This is a lovely pre-Liturgy lift. Penelope.
Thank you Father for exposing my wrongdoing. When I pray I ask God to do something in my favour. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to correct myself. Glory to God!
Love in Christ, God bless you.
Blimey. Father, this is painfully true…
God bless you Sam!
Dear Very Reverend Father,....... awaiting in my tree.
Thank you father what you said was true and definitely something I need to reflect on glory to God and thank you
Thank you Father, this is timely.
As a Child who's been traumatized and abused. I so often looked to God as a replacement parent. To give me what I needed to become a healthy adult.
But He didn't. At least in the way I expected according to how I've observed healthy parents love their children around me. Now I live, feeling like a grown child with no prospects and pretty much consider my life as preparation for homelessness or worse at some point. I used to confuse God for those who neglected me and who were so wrapped up in their stuff that they had no time for me. I still struggle with this.
What all this has pointed me to though, is that I have a deep-seated ego, that puts my wants before the Will of God. My pain is nothing compared to the timeless pain God must feel for the whole of humanity that's ever lived. My needs do not matter but the Will of God.
And I'm too weak to act upon that knowledge. I still would like a spouse and the means to provide for a family and I'm tormented by that desire day in and day out without end.
I feel as though even my use of the Jesus Prayer is simply a call for my will to be done over God's. I don't say this prayer correctly and I think it stinks before God's Holiness.
God bless you! I cannot begin to answer this here but you may like to consult your priest or someone you trust to help you tease this apart.
Timely Father!
Thanks for this.
Amen Amen Amen.

Bad sermon. I think you're wrong. I positively believe that He comes into our lives and follows us around.
Or perhaps we are both partially right, Father!
