Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I've been trying to find Jesus, and it seems like here I've finally found a place where I can being that search in earnest.
However, I have some flaws. I'm working on them, but I wanted to ask first about those I can't change. I am Irish. I think part of my problem has been the prevalence of Mary in any religious setting here, which is why I tried looking online. I have stopped drinking (my parents had given me alcohol since I was 6), and I have committed acts of which I am now deeply ashamed, but I honestly wish to try to be better now, and earn forgiveness.
My question is, as I am Irish, is there any hope for redemption?
Thank you for any response
