By Randy Hain, Integrated Catholic - I don’t know about you, but I rarely get through the day without feeling beaten up a little by the demands and pervasive negative influence of the world. It is difficult to find peace and block out the noise. I am challenged to avoid committing the same venial sins over and over each day. In my weakness, I tend to rely on my own strength rather than Christ. These are the times I feel the farthest away from heaven. Does this ever happen to you?
