I really appreciate these looks into the daily life of a parish priest. I like the frank, matter-of-fact way you describe things and I think it's actually very inspiring to see the different ways you minister to people. Thanks for the gift of your priesthood!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928073488691856403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-19529018875694569372007-11-16T17:43:00.000-05:002007-11-16T17:43:00.000-05:00Married priests ... right.
