and started thinking. What is this life, why have I come to this world. What is the purpose of my life. One specific video helped Tom to think about it; to contemplate about it. He went through much more videos of that particular youtube channel. Daily he got a notification about a meditation on day’s reading.
Once frustration was engulfing Tom. But now, the things have changed. Tom has started a new life. This new preacher helped him to have a new beginning. He was a reverend Father who conducts praise and worship services. Since it is broadcast via youtube, Tom was able to watch them from home. Tom had a problem with a sort of addiction. Whenever he engaged in that, he becomes frustrated. He easily give up everything and becomes moody. Everytime he thought that everything is finished and he has confined in a trap where he cannot escape. This preacher made him to believe that the love of God is far more beyond than the falling, and there is no any sin that cannot be rectified to God.
With this conviction, Tom went for a confession for that particular preacher. This was the day, Tom started his new life. It was a day of baptism to him. Thereafter, Tom never became frustrated. Whenever he fell into addiction, he understood his weakness, and surrendered to God. There was a hymn composed by that particular preacher which was in youtube. Whenever he fell, he used to watch and listen to that hymn. Little by little, Tom was able to come out from his weakness. Moreover, it helped him to realize his vocation and finally he entered seminary to become a priest.
