John 14:27

You've probably already heard of Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude (now Our Lady of Perpetual Grace) because of all of the social media posts and stuff. I'll answer any questions you guys have here.

I am not very sociable in nature and it wasn't a problem in the past. But through age, I tend to feel the presence of loneliness more often.

Do you ever feel lonely through your ministry life and how do you deal with it?

An unfortunate side effect of getting older is that since people generally tend to get way more busy, it's harder to maintain relationships. I've definitely experienced that. I think it's natural, despite how it feels awful. There's not much you can do to prevent it.

But you should make sure to maintain your close friendships. It's okay to have a small circle, as long as you have people to rely on.

(I also may or may not have a little crush on you 🤭)

just started a new job and it's roughhh

You've already done the first step. You've recognized that the new job is making you feel incompetent. That's good (recognizing the root cause of what's making you feel bad, I mean).

What you need to do next is step back and really scrutinize your job, then try to figure something out. Do you feel incompetent because you're not the best at your job yet? That's easy to explain, you just started out, you'll get better with time. Are your coworkers jerks? You can take it up with your boss and work something out.

Think about it from an outside perspective for a moment.

So thank you from your neighborhood agnostic, don't stop being you.

Thanks for your message. I think I know who you are. It's always a pleasure to be able to teach people about how the faith should actually be. I'll be the first to admit that it's flawed and always evolving, but its image has definitely been ruined by a lot of bad eggs.
