“Pray for priests. My Son gave them to you as a gift. ” Included in message of May 2, 2008 "If a Catholic priest wants to be faithful, mature and authentic, he has to live out his life rooted in the One who has called him. All of the traditional support for priestly life is gone. Most priests have no support from their bishop. Most priests have to stay away from the very people they need to be close to; i.e., their brother priests. Many times priests are persecuted by their parishioners, too. However, true priests will find solace in a deep friendship with Jesus and comfort provided by a few faithful parishioners." Rev. James Farfaglia Man to Man: A Real Priest Speaks to Real Men about Marriage, Sexuality and Family Life. |
