**The numbers really get amazing when you think of offering Mass. My own pastor shares Mass duties in our parish with both an associate pastor and one or two of the retired Oblates so his commitment to public Mass is on average 6 times a week. So, when he reaches his 40th anniversary he will have brought Christ 12,480 times! How many children received Christ for the first time from these men and how many were brought home to God?**
Think of your priests — what are their astounding numbers when it comes to Sacraments given, Masses said?

Many of the priests that I have known really are men of God; I have been privileged to know a Franciscan who was the parish priest in Indiana. He was the perfect parish priest and one who will forever stand out in my memory. He baptized three of our children and will be one of the Saints in Heaven.
Please keep our priests in your prayers everyday!
