The UK needs more Catholic Priests!

JoBarkerLeave a comment

I’am doing this blog for all Catholic parishes who need priests.

There is a desperate need for parish priests in the UK , I have heard of struggling parishes that may have to shut churches.

This is bad we cannot let catholic churches close ,we need to keep the Catholic churches open to celebrate mass with Jesus and to keep the Catholic faith strong and on going.

I have been praying for parishes to get their priests and praying that they never close churches I hope they get priests and hope this blog gets the message across and helps them.

Holy Father Pope Leo I ask you to listen to the catholic people calling out to keep their churches open and get them priests , please help the parishes that need more priests ,if there are any that have to many priests or deacon please share them across the Catholic faith around the world.To parishes that need priests keep the churches open and the faith strong.

My prayers are with you 🙏🙏 amen

A Message to All Catholics

JoBarkerLeave a comment

I noticed in church ,some things not very catholic and need sorting ,rich boasting showing they have more than others,this is disrespectful and not catholic.

Catholic we are all meant to be equals  so I came up with rules I hope church would use.

When coming to church dress respectfully in the presence of the lord ,men black or brown shoes shirt tie and trousers ,women long dress or skirt ,blouse and blazer.

No logos no brands no tracksuits no trainers as this is disrespectful and showing off being rich and having more than others ,it is not acceptable.

Showing you more than others is so awful and wrong in the church ,the catholic faith is not about the rich and boastful ,it is about the humble the poor it is about equality unity.

I’m finishing where Pope Francis left off , focusing on the poor and if you have more then you need to give it to those who need it ,that is the right thing to do.

Wearing designer brand labels trainers and showing off riches at church is not good it’s an awful thing to do and very disrespectful in the eyes of the lord.

I’m not rich I’m poor but I’m happy I have the support of Mum & Dad  I can’t afford a house ,I can’t afford house bills ,most of my clothes are 2nd hand but I’m happy with that ,2nd hand is just as good as new .

So please fellow catholics be humble and respectful and follow these instructions ,do the right thing please🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼understand the wrongs and right them.

You won’t find his body he came back from the dead

I’ve noticed on some documentaries archeologists  try to find the body of Jesus .

They are either being skeptical or atheist.

Because everyone who has read the Bible and said The Creed knows Jesus rouse from the dead saved people from hell, rouse to heaven as is seated at the right hand of god his father.

There is no body to find because his body and him came back from the dead , remember Jesus is half human half god he is god’s son.

He came to earth by the holy spirit to spread the word and to bring peace love and hope ,he started the Catholic church .

I can’t understand why archeologists are so obsessed with trying to find something they will never ever find.

You will only see Jesus in heaven,unless he decides to appear like his mother Mary ,to give an important message ,we don’t know if he will or not .

So please don’t bother searching for bones of Jesus he came alive again he is not buried in any tombs he is not bones.

Baptism Is A Commitment ,Not to be used wrongly

JoBarkerLeave a comment

Sadly I have noticed people using baptism for the wrong reasons ,they have not been taking it to be a part of the faith and of the Catholic church .

They are misusing a gift for Lord Jesus and God and are using it for gains Some are using it just for marriage ,some are using it for schools or to get in higher places.

This is very sad news,and I also don’t like the fact they lie to our Priests ,who lie to a priest? You must never lie to a man of god, you must respect him.

I got Baptised last year into the Catholic church ,I have always believed and had faith ,I enjoy going to mass I pray and feel close to the Lord ,being catholic is a special part of my life .

Sadly these others who get baptised just use the baptism for gains ….very upsetting .

I feel so strongly about this matter I have Written to Pope Francis

I am asking for strict rules for you to be baptised , because it is not to be used  wrongly it is a gift from the lord it is a way of life and a commitment ,I feel you must have strong faith and commitment to the catholic church Lord God ,Jesus holy spirit and Virgin Mary .

If Anyone reading this blog plans on being Baptised to use it as a sin for gains and higher things in life ….please think again and do not get Baptised you are being unfaithful to the religion our priests who by the way work extremely hard ,the Pope and The lord.

Please do not waste their time do not lie to them search your soul and ask why for the right or wrong reasons.

I don’t like people misusing a gift for God to fulfill selfish needs or wants it ,is not for that .

Baptism  is for people who truly believe and have faith and love and commitment to the Catholic church.

I remember after being baptised for a couple of months my mind was clear and I was at peace there was serenity and warmth in my heart my mind was clear ,everything was at peace ,I felt the gift from Jesus on me and it was one of the most amazing feelings I’ve ever had.

Also we were visited by the Holy Spirit ,my Dad and I saw it in our Garden as a white Dove ,it truly was the Holy spirit.

My faith is strong I believe 100 % and the spiritual and miracles ,My wrist for 2 to 3 years was turning into arthritis I was scared I would not do art again I prayed it got better and I got a white cross on my wrist where it was healed.

This is strong faith and belief ,so I ask my readers please only get Baptised if you believe and have faith and commitment to the catholic church .

We can’t all have kids

JoBarkerLeave a comment

As a catholic you would think I would agree with the pope on things.

Not everything he thinks we should all have children and not pet dogs,this does not work for me and other people.

For Example In the past I have suffered stress , depression,panic attacks and anxiety ,if I had kids I would not be able to cope I would end up in hospital with a huge break down so due to stress.

A DOG is much better for me ,I feel relaxed and loved by dogs and they matter alot to me ,they help with my Asperger’s and help me not feel alone and I can talk and be comforted by a dog life without one would be depressing.

Not all women can have kids ,they can’t afford mental health issues ,health issues ,life issues also some people would be bad abusive parents and just shouldn’t have kids.

So no we cannot all go round having kids there are personal issues and loads of other issues .

Sometimes having a pet is better for people and their health ,plus you have a choice it’s your life it’s your body it is up to you ,don’t have people tell you that you HAVE to.

Having children is a lot of effort and hard work and costly not everyone can cope with that ,I’m one that can’t ….I get anxious when kids are noisy and running around I get like this when shops are very crowded I’m.no good with crowds .

And I happily bless dogs and pets if given the right to .

How you know your soulmate

JoBarkerLeave a comment

I found myself as a person , finally when I met him. Many years of stress ,rejection and being bullied clouded my mind teens and onwards I was very lost and could not find myself or know myself too well.

October 16 2015 I joined Wild Colours Art group 2016/2017. I met him bare with me ,some of this is complex and hard to explain. There is a strong spiritual feeling of chemistry between us I’ve never experienced with anyone else .

We share the same humor and banter ,and he was the first man ever to drop his jaw when he saw me.I see in his eyes my soulmate warmth caring but also missing me in him.

I noticed the empty space in my soul that had hurt me for many years ,was filled up and has never returned ,my love for him makes me feel young ,happy and cheerful.

We bounce off each other’s advice I have given him in the past ,he returns to me as advice ,we have similar lives ever so slightly , our disabilities are similar and we should not be ashamed of them.

His eyes tell me a thousand and one things not just about him but about my self ,my soul senses when he is feeling down and when he is happy ,my dreams tell me when he thinks of me ,and what he would want to say to me ,but can’t .

We both have paths leading in the same direction ,and I hope again to bump head on into him,because I love him so much the warmth from the love brings out happiness and youthfulness ,that happiness he gives me is like a potion of youth,I know I’ll love him til forever in heaven and whatever’s next it life, he is part of me I am part of him .

Catholic life helps me as a person

Featured JoBarkerLeave a comment

Since baptism and going to mass every Sunday I feel a better person for it.

I switch my mind off in mass don’t think at all ,I do mass and listen and pray, after mass I feel warm ,calm and at peace,I feel mass helps heal and guide you through difficulties in life.

After baptism we were physically visited by the holy Spirit which is a white Dove.

I feel Jesus and Mary are guided me and giving me self control ,I always had spending difficulty because of issues in life ,when you lack social life and boyfriend ,you need something to fill that space shopping did that for me.

Slowly I’m getting better with money ,I’m targeting to get my account over a thousand by June ,there’s no need to shop all the time ,odd occasion I like to treat myself ,but these days most my shopping is stuff I need so it’s really maturing. Jesus is giving me self control.

Life in the modern world can be difficult ,it’s hard not to get angry or annoyed especially in the UK with all our issues.

Religion helps if I can switch my mind of focus on the Lord ect I am then calm and at peace ,try not to let things get to me ,because anger leads to hate ,hate leads to suffering and the negatives of anger make you as a person feel worse and people around you feel worse.

Positives are always good it gives you motivation,but if someone says “no you can’t do that” or “you haven’t got a clue what you’re doing” it affects you and you feel like you don’t want to because of criticism . Positives motivate you .

In work if you have a very critical boss you work less ,but if you have a positive boss you work over 100%

Cricket distroyed

JoBarkerLeave a comment

I saw an advert on TV last night for The Ashes…..kind of …it’s not The Ashes any more it’s The Men’s Ashes and The Women’s Ashes.The World has gone bonkers .

The Ashes is a traditional match England VS Australia ,the ashes are said to be of wickets from a match long past and has been a tradition for many years.

The Women’s Ashes is made up for the new world of WOKE and propaganda all over TV and sports .Women’s ashes they probably just burned some bras and said ..”right this the women’s ashes “no history behind it whatsoever .

Sadly all sport in our country now has propaganda and pushing this on to you that you HAVE to believe….but we do not want to and we do not have to only brainwashed people will fall for that.

Why I haven’t blogged much recently

JoBarkerLeave a comment

I have always believed in God ,Jesus ,Mary and all the unexplained mysteries of this world .I have always had faith and always prayed.

I recently joined a local catholic church and got Baptised in April I have since learnt more and things I did not know about my faith that I never knew before.

Now I go to Mass every Sunday with my Mum & Dad ,I feel more at peace now than ever I have no anger ,hate or jealousy in me at all , just lots of peace love and hope positive feelings and happiness ,I still have sadness and insecurities at times ,but I have feelings and emotions.

I’m still in love with the same man ,still believe he is my soulmate ,but sadly haven’t seen him in person for ages and that gets to me ,coz everyone else friendships are normal and see their friends regularly…still wonder at times about my social and love bad luck??

Britain heading towards Hunger Games

JoBarkerLeave a comment

People think the British are Rich….I can tell you we are not rich ,the only rich people are greedy mps taking from the poor to make the rich richer …highly unfair.

Britain had been hit really badly by prices rises on everything ,people who don’t have the money are suffering some are commiting suicide that’s how bad it is.

With petrol ,food tax’s ect Britain is going back to medieval times it’s awful people are struggling …really we are a 3rd country the rich are greedy and get richer they don’t help the poor ,they should they have more money then they need!!.

If you have seen the Hunger Games movies this is what Britain is turning into ,it’s heartbreaking power and greed is evil it’s an awful thing that distroys life’s …if I had more money then I’d help someone out who really really needed it.

But I’am not I’m almost 40 (next year) living with my parents and could never afford to rent or buy a house ,if it wasn’t for my parents ,I’d most likely be homeless or really struggling to have a life ,I have Aspurgers and have disability which is 400 a month ,if I had electric gas ,tv license rent I’d have 0 ,you cannot live off that.

I don’t want to be a millionaire ,but I’d like just enough not to worry about my bank balance I’m not greedy I buy 2nd clothes .

I know that some modern women think money is everything and all they want from a man is his wallet…sad cows!! All I’ve ever want was love ,sex passion friendship ,my heart is what I follow, What we call modern Britain ….really is not corruption greedy rich mps are bringing Britain right back to the medieval times. Life is not easy if you are British and poor ….it is not the land of milk and honey ,what we need is a Robin Hood To take from the rich and give to the poor …the rich do not need any more money they’ve got enough …start helping people out.
