I'm exhausted right now and cannot type. I will give a relation tomorrow. But tonight I simply ask for your prayers and sacrifices for a very disturbed young man. He told me things today that I cannot carry alone. I need you all. I need intercessors. He needs you all. He needs the help of your prayers. Pray the binding prayers for him. Pray for angelic assistance for his soul, for his family, ...
Thanks for the prayers. I'm not sure how much to reveal here on a public forum. I want to protect the young man's privacy.
He opened up his soul to me yesterday and poured out its secrets. He is dangerously disturbed. There's no doubt about it. But there is also great beauty in him. I have begun to introduce him to metaphysics, and he has fully retained what I told him about animal versus...

Now, having said all this, does that change your admonition or do you maintain it? I ask because I value your opinion.
Thanks.
Heck yes! (I change my admonition) I was worried for your safety. I do have to admit to freaking out a bit over your first post. Various thoughts raced through my pea brain.
Like, maybe the guy...

I'm in.
Thank you TDMarie. Because of your excellent counsel I opted not only to go to the principal but to the young man's mother. First I asked the boy and he was literally overjoyed at the prospect of learning a little philosophy. Then I got green lights from the two superiors, his and mine. I begged the Lord this a.m. that any one of them should decline permission if this undertaking ...

I must be blind! I was wondering what was up with you and could never find the thread. And now I know the rest of the story! How many kids are in this club? You and your students will be in my prayers.

Prayers for you, Cantate. I just read that article from the Post. It was published two years ago. It has sixty-eight pages of comments , many deeply profound. I was blown away by that article. Blown away like I was dust. I'd add my support to...
cantatedomino wrote Quote: Now, I don't owe these kids anything in justice except the performance of my duties of state. What I have offered to do for them, by way of the club, is above and beyond the call of duty. This act of charity on my part has to be met with reciprocal good will in order for it to work. Refusal to use the proper language is an unmistakable sign that these disturbed individuals do not know how to respond in kind to...

I visited with him Tuesday afternoon and he brought up examples from previous conversations about Philosophy. If you get a chance and it is not too much trouble, would you post the tract you wrote? It's like fifteen pages long. I'd get booted off AQ for the mortal sin of boring everyone to death....

Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord. Remember for yourself and his soul, that all gold must go through fire to be purified... perhaps this is your fire, dear friend, for 'Our Lord is never wanting of ways to bring us to Him' and we must persevere for His glory. You continue to be in my prayers. I tried calling you and left a message, I will try again when I next have time.
