Greetings.
This is my first post, so let I introduce Iself ;). I'm Tom from Poland, 24 yrs old. At the beginning of 2012 I've returned to Roman Catholic Church, which I've abandoned not long after my First Communion. Everything seemed to be ok. I was trying to go to the confession and communion every month, to be aware of my sins and fight them, and so on. I believe in the Almighty God (or Jahveh, or Yehovah, or Yah, or Allah, or Krishna, or whatever one wants to call Him), who's the source of true and endless love, truth, and everything that's good. I understand Jesus Christ's words: "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." and I think it's the basic principle of life, regardless of one's religion.
On the other hand, I don't consider my religion as the only one which is true.
Sadly, my spiritual life has started to fall apart recently :<. As time passed by, I've started to notice more and more hypocrisy in the Church. A lot of people go there and pray just to show off, and as soon as they cross the exit door they start to behave "normal" (and this behavior is often veeeeery far from what the Lord teaches us).
On the top of that, I've got some problems in my life, mostly with poverty and loneliness, and I don't know how to ask the Lord to help I with them.
It makes I really depressed. I don't want to forsake the God, but I have a hard time attending the Mass or even praying.
I was fascinated with the Rastafari movement for quite a few years (it all started with reggae music and the great Bob Marley :P). Though I don't agree completely with all the principles, I love the positive energy that emanates from Rastas ;). That's why I write to you on this forum. I'd love to hear your thoughts about I's situation and, if possible, some advice on what to do.
One Love
Tom
