So currently my mom is freaking out because I´m "alone" in Barcelona, but I´m really not alone.

I don´t understand why we even have the word alone. It´s literally impossible for any living person to be alone, for God is everywhere. So wherever I am, God is there, too. Plus I´ve got my guardian angel(s) (my mom says I need more than one) and then there´s Mary and all the saints who are watching out for me.

And it´s not like I´m special. The same is true for anyone. So why do we say we´re alone? And why when somebody says "but God´s here" does it usually get shrugged off as a "yeah, religious technicality, whatever." We treat God´s presence as something that´s technically true, but which doesn´t really affect us - we´re alone, because God somehow doesn´t count.

But that´s absurd. If anyone´s presence matters, it´s God´s. So, no, I am not in Barcelona alone. I have never been alone in my entire life, and I never will be, not even for a second. I am in Barcelona with God and my guardian angel, and they´re really awesome company.

I´m praying for you!
