]]> Comment on 5 Ways To “Untrouble” Your Heart TODAY! by Gary Zimak http://www.followingthetruth.com/5-ways-to-untrouble-your-heart-today/#comment-6491 Gary Zimak Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:49:56 +0000 http://www.followingthetruth.com/?p=2161#comment-6491 Bob - I'm very sorry to hear of your financial situation. I prayed for you and will continue to do so on a daily basis. The main point of my post is that worrying serves no purpose. Instead of worrying, I am recommending praying instead...which always bears fruit. It's understandable that you will feel anxiety when faced with bankruptcy and foreclosure, but it would be wrong to worry constantly without praying. In your situation, I would recommend that you pray for a resolution to your financial issues and also for peace. One of the first fruits of prayer is a feeling of peace (sometimes VERY little peace, but it's a start!). The more you pray, the more peace you will feel. I also recommend that you open up your Bible and read (and reread) Psalm 23. As you do so, you will experience a sense of comfort. I also recommend that you pray the rosary daily. Our Blessed Mother knows what it means to have financial problems and she will not leave you stranded. In the meantime, I will continue to pray for you every day. If you need additional advice or encouragement, please email me (gary@followingthetruth.com). In Christ, Gary Bob – I’m very sorry to hear of your financial situation.

It is very hard to digest, as we believe we've done all we can and could do to stem this from happening. We try to be good Catholics and pray for God's will in our lives but it is still very, very hard not to worry about what will come of us. Please keep us in your prayers and lend any advice you may have. May God Bless you now and always.

Many people are of the opinion that St. Luke did know Mary, given the elaborate details he mentions in the story of the Annunciation. Regardless of how he obtained the information, I'm glad that he did! God Bless, Gary Hi Tom,

Thanks for your comments. Many people are of the opinion that St. Luke did know Mary, given the elaborate details he mentions in the story of the Annunciation. Regardless of how he obtained the information, I’m glad that he did!

God Bless,

Would you say that the New Testement was written with Mary's help? Her memmories of life before the Apostles that are included in the writings surely came from her. Additionally, I like to think that some of her pureness and holiness, being without Sin and the Mother of God influenced the writers in some respects. It is through Mary that Christ truely began his ministry at the wedding feast of canna, I would venture she was very influential with the authors. Just my thoughts. Thank you, this was very good.
