It reminds me of last month when a friend of mine was ordained to the priesthood there was a mandatory ultimate frisbee game after his First Mass the next day. There was a short reception between the two and he was going around at the reception telling all the young adults, seminarians, and youth "Ok, we've had Mass, we've eaten, now go get changed because we have to play ultimate!" :-)DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195133313571297243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1149953179033694642006-06-10T11:26:00.000-04:002006-06-10T11:26:00.000-04:00Fr.

I hope that you have people in your life who tap you on the shoulder and say: "hey, time to go for a run. Or go to the movies. Or take a drive in the countryside." You know this better than I do, so forgive me if I'm being presumptous, but taking care of yourself isn't self-love, it's loving the person God created. Obviously lots of people depend on you being fit and healthy. Maybe there will be time this next week to enjoy that lovely Ohio spring/summer weather!<BR/><BR/>PS-You have such an interesting life. Have you thought (add another thing to your list) about writing a book- "Diary of a Midwestern Priest?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1149945571781546292006-06-10T09:19:00.000-04:002006-06-10T09:19:00.000-04:00So often ppl think all priests do is Mass and pray...So often ppl think all priests do is Mass and pray...everything else just supposedly happens. We pray for preists and voacations every day, especially with all of the shortages.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being a faithful servant!<BR/><BR/>TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055691110317133958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1149940183592869142006-06-10T07:49:00.000-04:002006-06-10T07:49:00.000-04:00Glad to see that you have not dropped off the face...Glad to see that you have not dropped off the face of the earth! Missed your blogging the past few days, but I enjoyed this post. "A week in the life of a pastor" would be a great documentary. And wouldn't it surprise many people - parishioners and others - to see all that you do?Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381445346226109566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1149915927375990132006-06-10T01:05:00.000-04:002006-06-10T01:05:00.000-04:00Good to see you are still tight with the K of C.
