Fr. Rob's Story I never imagined myself serving God and the Church as a priest. Even though I fly all over the world now, performing in front of hundreds of thousands of people every year, in my heart and soul, there’s a part of me that’s still the introverted, terrified person I was as a teenager. By the time I was sixteen, I’d created my own little circle of hell. I was trapped. Anyone who’s been there knows how hard it is. I was literally hiding in my room from dangerous people who I thought were friends. I couldn’t escape my problems and I didn’t know where to turn for help. I was lost, alone, and on the verge of doing something drastic. I cried myself to sleep and woke up every morning soaked in self-hatred, thinking about ways to end my life. Locked alone in my room, rocking back and forth, I wished for some way to stop the pain that consumed me but could see no way out. It felt like I’d reached the end of myself. I wanted it all to end. But to my surprise, I got out of my dark little room, and I did it with help from an unexpected source: God. What Are You Searching For? We live in a world that cries out for revenge and retribution without knowing that the real cry within our hearts is a cry to know, love, and serve God in each other. This search for love is sadly manifested through addictions of all kinds: through a desire for fame and popularity, through the belief that only the strongest and most able should survive. The vulnerable and weak, the poor and deprived have no place at the table of modernism. What is said in this book is the antidote to such belief. It shows us that our search is a search for God, though we do not know it. As St. Augustine said in Confessions about God, 'our heart is restless until it rests in you.'
