Hardon died in December of 2000. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to find a good spritual director. The best place to seek out counsel is an adoration chapel where our Lord is present. If you follow the technique I layed out in the article, our Lord will guide you. I would also suggest that you pray a daily Rosary and pray the Litany of Humility every day. You need humility in order to really hear and understand what our Lord and Lady are trying to tell you. Yes, Fr. Hardon died in December of 2000.

Hardon gave you the best advice! I have been wishing that I had a spiritual director for some time now to try to help me with my problems. A priest once wrote and told me that he recommended that I look for a spiritual director (particularly from among the Jesuits), but I couldn't imagine where to even begin finding one. Is your Fr. John Hardon the same Fr. John Hardon who went to heaven on December 30, 2000? I think Fr. Hardon gave you the best advice!

Sites like facebook make it so much easier to maintain relationships and re-connect with old friends, but users need to take the time to understand privacy settings and control who has access to what information. I kept many journals as a young man -- which still to this day have been read by only One -- as I myself have not had the courage to re-read most of it. I think that is where young people need to purge their feelings -- in a journal to God. When I die, I do plan on letting bequesting my journals to my two sons, but if I ever get the strength to re-read about some of my youthful struggles, I may actually black out some of that record too. After all, healthy journaling between ones self and God can be very healthy. Young folk should think twice before extending their readership beyond that one Audience.
