The oldest and the best priest in my home parish was not there during the Holy Thursday mass when normally all the priests in the parish are every year. I was concerned and pointed it out to my parents and they said he is probably visiting relatives. He has never missed Holy Thursday before and just today my fears were confirmed. I am back at school now and my mom called that he was at mass today, but, sitting while another priest did the mass. He looked emaciated and they said that he just had surgery, without specifying what kind, and asked for us to pray for him. Poor, guy, first our associate pastor got sick an now him. It always happens to the good priests, although I would not wish this on anyone. Please keep him in your prayers. He is a gifted confessor, good homilist, and all-around beautiful person. I think he was in the priesthood some 40+ years.
