may God give u peace.
keep praying and going to church, even if you feel you are not worthy.
remember the church is a hospital for the sick, not a parade of the perfect people.

i agree 100% with the last 2 posts.
if u can change yourself with amazing feats of physical endurance, it will lead to pride.
if not, it will lead to depression.
the solution is to take advice from your confession father and not fast unless it is …
i posted something in the other thread.
