Please help me with a prayer. I am stuck into a most obscure condition within my soul and prayer is heavy and empty and dark. Help me.

Pray to Holy Achangel Michael to guide and protect you. Pray to Divine Jesus Christ to light your heart up and grant you the sight and wisdom to grow beyond the challenges that this heaviness brings. If you're religious check out Vlad Savchuk on deliverance. Heaviness implies things from the principalities of the dark that have attached themselves and have brought forth challenges. One way to combat them is by finding your specific and unique truths that are grounded in the light of The Lord. You find them by being loving to yourself and speaking to yourself as if you were the child you were beautifully raising. Cleanse yourself by doing a bath in sea salt and if you're by the ocean this will help. When the heaviness comes illusions follow and they will present thoughts and ideas that lead us away from The Lord and who we truly are.

What do you mean he cannot be encompassed by a Church or Christianity in general, do you mean Protestantism? He is literally a Catholic priest, a Carmelite specifically.

This statement highlights the unique position of St. John within the context of Christian saints. The key points to understand here are: Role Within the Church: St. John, like other saints, served the Church through his life's work, presumably through his teachings, writings, or other forms of ministry. His activities and contributions were aligned with the objectives of the Christian Church. Claim by the Church: The Church venerates St. John as a saint, meaning he is recognized for his holy virtues and often considered a model of Christian faith. This veneration involves honoring his memory, invoking his intercession, and often celebrating his feast day. Beyond Ecclesiastical Boundaries: The statement suggests that St. John's influence or relevance extends beyond the organizational and doctrinal confines of the Church. This could mean his teachings or his life’s example carry universal themes that are applicable or resonant even outside of strictly Christian interpretations. Universal Appeal: The idea that he "cannot be encompassed by a church, nor even by Christianity in its broadest sense," suggests that St. John's spiritual or moral teachings might have a universal appeal that transcends religious boundaries. This could indicate that his messages or the values he exemplified are meaningful to people across different faiths or to those who might not subscribe to any religious belief at all. The overall assertion is that St. John is a figure whose significance is not limited to the doctrinal or ritual aspects of Christianity alone. Instead, he embodies principles or truths that are broad and inclusive, appealing to a wider audience beyond the Christian community. This type of description is often attributed to figures who are seen as mystics or spiritual exemplars whose lives and works have a profound, universal human appeal.
