True Disciple In Jesus,
Christians will always carry a cross, being Catholic has nothing to do with it. Perhaps it would help to rekindle a relationship that is more directly to Jesus, yes.
Too, those that pray are not defined by their own life circumstance.
Serving in the church, being a leader in the church is defined by whether a person is married once.
For some reason I think perhaps (TDIJ) you are struggling with your own issues. Perhaps you are in greater need of prayer.
God Please Heal these souls.
IJN Amen.

You give yourself some title prayer warrior when your life is a mess itself. This should be an opportunity to help this gentleman and witness with him and share with him the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oh, he knows Jesus because he is catholic, yes, but the difference is catholic also pray to statues, saints, and Mary instead of praying directly to God the Father. He needs salvation and have a personal relationship and fellowship with the Father through Jesus Christ then I guarantee that he will have peace regarding what's going on in front of him. God bless.
