Remembering and thanking God this day for all the priests we know and love. May the Cure d’Ars bestow his blessing on them all today, and may Christ draw them ever deeper into His pierced Heart.
It is easy for any child to pick out the faults in the sermon on his way home from Church every Sunday. It is impossible for him to find out the hidden love that makes a man, in spite of his intellectual limitations, his neuroticism, his own lack of strength, give up his life to the service of God’s people, however bumblingly he may go about it . . . (Flannery O’Connor, Spiritual Writings)
May God forgive us for all the times we do not see with His own eyes, and may we continually pray for our priests.
