i try to place *being together* ahead of *being right* but it is a struggle and must
be surrendered in prayer constantly
johnboy! we can always count on you to cut to the chase! Yes, be in community and let the rest go! One of our priests is very elderly, frail, and I can sometimes FEEL the impatience some have with him, but I find his homilies stimulating even if it takes awhile for him to get it all spoken! the special thing about him is his wonderful, gentle, loving spirit. I will take that over any thing....
thanks, johnboy! Let us all pray for our priests. They have a difficult job and I am first in line to pray because I sometimes am first in line, within my mind, to nitpick!!! And also let us pray for vocations!
blessings, and grace,
anne
And May He return soon!!!!
