Hello fellow Catholics, I’m new here and just wanted to share something. I’ve been talking to a girl for the past month (lowkey we both liked each other but never admitted it). For context, I’ve been single since October 2023 and Im very introverted. We met at a party and I got to know later she had ended a relationship about 3-4 months ago and we struck a chord talking daily and getting to know each other really well. But around her ex’s birthday, she suddenly grew distant. She spoke a bit about the issues she faced with him but our conversations kept getting drier. She stopped bothering to message as before and since I was invested in her, I didn’t feel like socialising or making new connections, I just wanted to see where this goes. I told her the same that I’ve begun going for dance socials and prayer meets, so there’s a chance of meeting someone like minded but I only want to focus on one person at a time. Recently, I noticed she added her ex back on Instagram along with their old photos. I think she even hid a story from me and later unhid me (since I could suddenly see her highlights again). That really upset me, and I felt anxious yesterday. While a lot of thoughts were going through my head I checked the mass schedule at my nearest church and decided to go. I reached a little late but just being seated among the elders, smiling back at them, receiving communion and singing hymns made my heart feel lighter. I’m still thinking about this whole situation and how things could’ve unfolded in a better way. I prayed to God to take her away previously if she wasn’t going to be invested in the way I was. but it’s strange and beautiful how I was drawn to mass when I feel anxious. I know this feeling will fade but God is already making me feel better. Amen. Have you faced something similar before?

Hi everyone, I'm Charles Ripley, an 18-year-old from the UK currently converting from agnosticism to Catholicism. God willing, I will enter into communion with the Church next February! I joined this community to meet other Catholic men who are perhaps facing similar challenges in terms of fitness, diet, and faith. Personally, I struggle most with lust and gluttony even though I train regularly. Right now, and when I go to university next month, I feel slightly isolated as a Christian amongst my atheist friends so I really appreciate this community and hope I can help in any way I can! God Bless. ❤️

Hi everyone! I’m pumped to be joining this community! I’m 21 years old and have been Catholic my whole life. Growing up, I found myself going through the motions and I more recently have gotten more serious about living out my faith. I’m excited to start my journey with you all!

My name is Oscar Quintanilla. I'm a Catholic from Mexico with a great interest in Catholic tradition. I'm grateful to be part of this community. I joined because I'm looking to develop discipline and improve my finances, as my goal is to get married someday and build a solid Catholic family. Over time (and honestly, it took me quite a while to understand this) I've become aware that in addition to preparing myself spiritually, I also need to develop discipline and improve my finances to be a good husband and father. God bless.

Hello all. My name is Timothy, I just joined the church this year and the light of the Cross has led me here. I look forward to getting to know you all and helping each other to Heaven. God bless.
