For those who struggle with anxiety, or if you know someone who struggles with anxiety, tune into our second Friar Time episode on September 21st. Fr. Frank discusses his journey with anxiety and how he copes with it in his life.

FR. Frank, you have the most calming voice and prescence. You will keep getting better, it does take time. I know . I will pray for you . Baby steps.

Father Frank, Thank you for sharing your experience with anxiety. Every morning when I wake up I pray to God to not let it be a day filled with anxiety and depression. I have had it my whole life. It’s been difficult.

Hang in there cousin. Your honesty is laudable.

Friar Frank, when I was listening to your story of anxiety it was like hearing myself. After many years I am now going for professional help about one year and it seems to be working but there is always the times when no amount of medication or talking helps but at least I know it will pass. I am sorry for your anxiety but it was comforting that I am not the only person. I will keep you in my prayers and may you get all the help and calmness you deserve.

What to do when it last for months and every time you try to do something it hits again I use to walk but now my knees are so bad I can’t I want to sleep. Pray 🙏 for me

I found that my friend was such a comfort. When I couldn't bear to leave the house she said one thing to me. She said if we are in the car together and you feel like you can't make it just tell me and I will turn the car around and no questions asked. It made me feel like there was little or no pressure on me and it as such a help. Good luck to you and remember it will pass.
