Guys I need all of your prayers right now. Like literally need y’all to break the front gate off of heaven and get the army ready to go.
I just got a call from the Cleveland Clinic that I am next in line for transplant and I am the back up recipient for a kidney transplant as of
I know some of you will think this is unkind. It isn't.
I didn't open with this. I had already had several cordial back-and-forths with this young man in my Twitter DMs.
The whiny manipulation tactic ("I feel very hurt that you...") and clueless self-focus ( “you ignored me”)
Going to mass for the first time since June due to my surgery and recovery. Not planning on receiving communion, I haven’t been to confession since may. But happy that I’m at a place now where I can sit in the presence of the almighty.
Pray for me.

i success received a kidney transplant, they did it via robot technology and in 4 hours 35 minutes.
I’m awake and recovering well, mild pain and discomfort, but the young lady who saved my life’s kidney is working well and I’m feeling great considering
The Shroud of Turin isn't Jesus. It's idolatry.
The religious people of Jesus' time demanded signs, but Jesus said none shall be given. Scripture says that the righteous will live by faith, not by sight. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen & yet have believed".
Learn your Catechism, read your Bible, go out and be Catholic. No one, not even the antipope or the ape of the Church can destroy your relationship with God, and no previous truths can be changed. If it was true 2000 years ago it is true now.
Just an update:
I’m at Cleveland clinic now, they have my on two antibiotics now as they found my wBC is up significantly so I got a virus or infection for sure.
They are still treating this as a bowel obstruction but I’m no longer in pain and I’m doing well.
Some of the
Y’all are probably sick of hearing about my transplant and all that at this point but this had been a wild ride.
Waiting on labs but the coordinator just came up and said I may be getting discharged as early as tonight and most likely tomorrow if not
Both my general surgeons and my nurse have mentioned major surgery possibly today if an OR opens up.
I haven’t talked to urology yet but we may be going dark in a couple of hours. I’m so anxious
I can’t tell you how blessed I am to be home, the pain is already subsiding and I am feeling good.
God is amazing and provides. I never thought 2 weeks ago I would be home already today. The struggles I’ve been through have strengthened my resolve to be Catholic and
Am I the only one who doesn’t care who wins the next election? That feels like it is pointless and the only way out of the mess of the modern world is by the graces of God and the conversion of souls?
I can understand the confusion or ignorance of Marian devotion/veneration but I don’t understand the visceral anger. Clearly the demon is at work in those who instantly become rabid at the name and invocation of Our Lady.
Guys the lack of food and water, the pending surgery, and anxiety has me all loopy AF, you don’t have to say you’re praying for me, but y’all send me your best memes or something
Update:
This is only hypothetical at this point but my stomach is still not healing and it could be because of scar tissue and other stuff from prior surgeries.
General surgery wants to go in and clean up the scar tissue which is a 6-8 week recovery, and urology may want to get
Seriously if we had a black pope why would that be a bad thing? Idc what race he is as long as he holds to the truths established by holy mother church
Watching the smug celebration of the ending of TLMs makes me feel great sorrow for my Trad friends. I’m not a Trad and I don’t go to the TLM. But I am starting to see why everyone is upset and my heart breaks for you all. If priests like Fr Ripperger and Fr Altman are right, a
So I have a 100% bowel obstruction which is not normal because everything for me runs smoothly and my diet outside of the pics I share here is normal.
So they are investigating the cause of it and it’s been very painful. They have to research the tube uh my nose several times
I originally used to scoff at the idea of not eating meat on Friday. Then I started doing it because I wanted to increase my prayer life in a simple way, I gave it up after lent, and haven’t stopped expect for appropriate feast days. Here are some observations.
No promises yet but Dr Lin and Dr Augustin came in and said they are looking for an OR date to maybe get my kidneys out sometime this week.
Not guaranteed, not getting my hopes up, but maybe this is the suffering I needed to get the goal I’ve worked so hard for.
Just realized I’ve gone 318 days without porn. Rapidly approaching 1 year. Temptations are literally dead at this point although I know it’s only because God will’s it. Couldn’t have done this on my own.
I don’t expect you all to respond with prayer after every update this rocky week but I appreciate it so much. You guys are the reason I have this opportunity in the first place
Post more pictures of our lady. She’s amazing. I can’t get enough Mary in my life

getting a crap ton of meds injected now and drinking a lot of water for the first time since 3am yesterday morning. Kidneys are working hard and working well. Never thought it would feel so good to pee (tmi I know)
I just did my first standing weight since surgery
Guys I’m piling Ls rn. Please pray to God my nephrectomy comes quick. 5 years of suffering has been too much.
I’m gonna keep doing my best but fuck I’m tired.
I am no way a Bergoglio fan, but I’m depressed at the amount of Catholics who say he isn’t worth praying for, or have the mindset that he is not from God so it’s not worth it.

- check in, get to the room, get an IV and admitted, 8 hours on the table, 3 hours recovery, then back to my room.
Long day ahead. I will be there in an hour and a half
Just to clarify, I’m still in the hospital. Yes I am feeling significantly better. Depending how things go I may be here a day or two more or much longer.
It depends on the treatment I need and if they do my kidneys or not.
I’m about 65% right now
If you’re going to distribute communion at a hospital to sick people, don’t be a pretentious bitch about it?
You don’t like I pray in Latin? You don’t like that I receive on the tongue? You don’t like that I only go to a priest for communion?
None of that is my problem
I feel robbed, i was becoming more traditional in my understanding of the faith but finding a reliable TLM stream that ive watched everyday for a couple of weeks now has broke me, now all i want to do is go to the TLM and honor God, and learn more about the faith.
Pray for Kyle, he is one of the most genuine christians I’ve met on here. Even if he doesn’t become a catholic any time soon, he’s a genuinely good guy who is looking for the truth and I think he is heading in the right direction.
Our Lady of Good Counsel Ora pro nobis. 🙏🏻
I am undergoing a dire search for truth, and as a Protestant coming to the conclusion that I may be wrong about the very book I claimed to believe is not fun. I am happy for the struggle, I want to find the answer and pray God helps me find it sooner than later.
However,
