My Beloved:

Yesterday I have a very interesting experience. I went into a prayer chatroom in Paltalk to pray the Rosary with those there. After the Rosary was finished, I was informed by the room moderator that I was to never come back.

Although I do not remember who this person (moderator) is, apparently she does not like me. She said in the room that she and I do not get along and thus I was not to come back.

It has been about one year since I have been in Paltalk. Whatever it is that causes her to dislike me is ancient history. Nevertheless the dislike was as fresh last night as it probably was a year ago.

Be that as it may, we cannot like everyone. Actually, if I knew who she was I probably wouldn't like her either, but this is not the point.

I came into the room to pray. The room was created by this woman to pray the Rosary. Yet, because I am not a likable guy, I am shunned from participating in prayer.

Is there something wrong here? No matter how obnoxious I am, no matter how unlikable I am, as long as I am not disrupting the prayer and am present for prayer, what is the problem?

What would Jesus do? What does our Blessed Mother think about a child of hers being shunned from her Rosary?

I am reminded of a scripture verse:

Galatians 5:15 "But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another."
