Does he have a pray
Every now and again I too feel as if I have been thrown to the wild beast. Life can be hard sometimes especially in times when I have been most honest with myself and others, The feeling of being rejected is a hard feeling to handle on your own, but there is always a piece of moral fibre to be built, a lesson from God to be learned. And when you try to recognize what the lesson is, and learn in your heart from it, the wild beast really won't appear to be so scary. Thank you St. Alexander if you can do it we all can do it!
