You said that you had practical advice for parents. What kind of advice?

I fell in love with a married man.  We had been such close friends and then developed feelings for each other.  We haven’t done anything wrong, but I really care about him.

I read about the saints and how extraordinary they were. Some of them did really hard things like only getting a few hours of sleep and doing other painful things. I guess not all of them did outstanding things, but I feel like in order to become a saint I have to do something like not sleep for days or do penance all of the time. How can I be holy?

I’ve been hurting a lot lately.  Not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.  It seems like no matter what I do, nothing changes.  If God has been trying to teach me a lesson, I think I’ve learned it by this point.

What does the Church teach about ghosts?  Are they real?  What are we supposed to do with them?
