Father Frankie Cicero, who has garnered nearly 14 million likes on TikTok, shares his powerful testimony of coming to Jesus.
"I was really angry, ultimately, at the Lord, and my anger was misplaced," he said. "I never should have been angry at the Lord. I should have been more angry at my father, but I was angry at the Lord because I was like, ‘I've done everything you've asked of me ... no drugs, no alcohol. I want to save myself for marriage, and this is what you offer me.’ I was angry and I left."
Father Frankie, who found himself indulged in a "lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and promiscuity," was working at a bar when he says one night he felt like everything was going in slow motion. He realized the broken life he had been living and had a desire to come to Jesus.
"I remember, in this moment, recognizing that I have everything the world says brings happiness," he recalled. "I said to myself, ‘I am more broken. I'm more lonely, and I flat-out hate who I am.’ It was the first time in six years that I prayed to God. I reached out in the bar at 1 a.m., and I cried out to the Lord."
