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

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.

Catholic life helps me as a person

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%

Why I haven’t blogged much recently

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??
