My parish priest has asked us all to select one priest in our lives and offer up prayers for him throughout the year.
Great idea. I like the votive Mass suggested for priests on the first Thursday of each month, too.
You might ask him about that.
I recall a priest telling of being called to the deathbed of an elderly woman he did not know. He had ministered to her once, she spent her life saying a daily rosary for him. He knew God blessed him throughout his life, his ministry soared. He knew then who to thank for God’s tremendous grace. It was a touching story.
