I will probably die before the Catholic Church gets its act together

[ding]

I admit that most of my problems with God is that he has not seen fit to make my life easy. I have had lifetime health problems, which has caused me lifetime financial difficulties, and because of my financial difficulties, my wife of 27 years has left me. To be a faithful Catholic, I cannot remarry, so I must spend the rest of my life alone. It's a harsh situation, but that's what God has fit to give me. I'm bummed, and it's difficult to work up the enthusiasm to praise God for his blessings when I feel he's given me more than my share of curses.

The first step in making the turn is to find something to be thankful for. When I look back on my hardships now, I see that they were blessings in disguise. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
