35-year-old male here. Went to confession a couple of days ago, crying, and told the priest that I am tired and want to rest, asking the Father to let me go to His kingdom. The priest told me I am not alone, since he has also been suffering for years, and he encouraged me to go to confession every week. He reminded me that Jesus thinks the world of me, even when I feel unloved.

Hi Fathers, I’m an 84 year old widow. I love to talk with people. There was a woman at Mass who I spoke with and she was alone. So I got her email address and told her that I would write her every day to see how she was doing. She’s opened up to the point that she said we don’t have to email each other every day. At least I have her talking. In my neighborhood I have two young married medical students who I invited to a simple pork loin dinner. <br>I can’t do too much of this because of my health altho’ I’m blessed, but I call friends I’ve thought about and send letters or cards to anyone who comes to mind, like my sick priest. I wish others would be like that to me but I keep going because I do these things. And I pray a lot, Hallow, Rosary and more. I love being Catholic

I’m a Protestant new to Catholic Church. I’m so thankful for this podcast. As a retired nurse -the concept of a hospitality house is something I can do. Thanks

These two priests deserve the lion's share of credit for keeping me Catholic through college. God bless and protect you both! 🙏

As newly Sainted Carlo Acutis said, "Sadness is looking at ourselves, happiness is looking towards God." Very wise words. Thank you and Fr. Riccardo for this very inspiring podcast!

I read a quote of St. Teresa of Calcutta.. " loneliness and the feeling of being unloved are the worst poverty " SO true!

Thank you. There are people I need to connect with who don't know how much Jesus and Mary love them.

How I wish I had found this before it was too late for my beloved grandson. Thank for all you do.

I remember when I became captured. I remember every moment in time, how God slowly and gently rescued me. Now, my response is that I can't stop talking about his love!
