Question
I pray the Rosary twice a day and go to Mass every Sunday. I say a lot of other prayers as well, but I dont feel that my praying is doing any good. I still sin, repent, pray again and sin again. Should I feed some sort of something to let me know that I am not going backwards?
Religion is not a "feeling"; it is a commitment. Our Lord said, "If you love me, keep my Commandments." You mention prayer, but not traditional Sacramental confession. You should be approaching the Sacrament at least once a month in your case so that you can get the guidance of a traditional priest-confessor. If you do not have one, see the list at www.traditio.com/nat.htm.
