In fact, most priests aren't. Ordained, that is. They're baptized. Which is all you really need to be part of "the priesthood of all believers." And, even then . . . . <br /><br />Besides, there are some who are ordained who are not very priestly. One of them comments here from time to time. You can tell because he posts the most unhappy, exclusive and occasionally flat-out mean things that make him sound as if he hasn't an ounce of compassion in his entire body because he doesn't pay any attention at all to the human condition. . I don't believe that's true. It's just somehow the way he acts when he's here.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you for what you do. It really is those small acts of kindness that no one knows about or pays attention to that are from the very heart of God.

It is quite a physical challenge for both of us but whenever I offer to do the shopping and deliver the groceries to her (especially is winter weather) she always responds that she wants to go outside and breathe the air. <br /><br />It is such a gift to be reminded of life's simple pleasures. Go outside and breathe the air. You never know when you may no longer be able to do so. <br /><br />I'm not a priest but I know enough to recognize the universe telling me something. 8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.com
