OK, everyone here it is. Someone made it really plain and easy to see last night. Our world is in turmoil and we have a culture of death like we have never seen it before.

Now even the faithful have started attacking the Priesthood.
  1. Outside the Church we have those who attack the Holy See for the sexual abuse scandals even though he was the main Cardinal who stood up against them
  2. We have some of the faithful crying for the ordainment of women
  3. We have some of the faithful that want to see the vow of celibacy done away with which would decrease the numbers of eligible Bishops in the EC if that ruling was kept as well as the RC
  4. We have multiple of the faithful speaking out against their Parish priests on local levels instead of asking - What can I do to make your job easier or even more manageable.
Wake up. We have a shortage of priest. These are the warriors of the Holy Spirit on the home front. Evil is attacking them. If evil can do away with the priesthood - evil does away with the Eucharist and therefore the Real Presence of Christ on Earth.

Support your Priests!!!
 
*Dear Joandarc,

I will gladly add my support and defend our priests and I will also add deacons.

From my personal experience I will always have a special place in my heart for them and they will always have my sincerest gratitude.
To me they have been and continue to be Christ to me.
I believe they truly are our best friends. They have always been willing to let me talk to them and always willing to offer their advise even if it seemed, at times, to have landed on deaf ears. Or, that it was taken in a way that it was not intended to be taken.
For me they have always been there just trying to help me be a better me. Even though I have such a hard time confiding in them.
When I first started going to my church I believe they knew I was a very wounded soul. They saw my pain and truly wanted nothing more than to be Christ to me and to help me heal from it.
I do not know if any of us really knew just how deep this wound was or even exactly what the nature of it was. But, I do know they have always been there just trying to help me. And even though I have such a hard time confiding in them they have never given up on me.
I truly do believe that they so wanted to be Christ for me that they willingly accepted help and guidance so that they could achieve this.
And when they were finally able to help me understand God’s love for me and when I was able to finally recognize and accept the cause of my pain they continued to be Christ to me. Giving me a shoulder to cry on, offering me reconciliation, absolution, and Jesus Christ himself in the Eucharist. Praying with me “ Remember us all in your kingdom.”
They truly are Christ to me because when I reflect on it all I know that Christ was truly present to me through them at a time I probable needed Him most.
They truly did allow Christ to come to me through themselves. It was like having Christ physically right there!
It does make me cry at how, like Christ, they were and continue to be just there. Waiting for me to turn to them. Patiently waiting and gently nudging.
All I can do is thank God for them and remember to thank them and learn to trust them more.

I truly do believe God has spoiled me with the parish He made sure I got to.

We must support & encourage our priests, deacons & seminarians!

We must thank them often for their sacrifice & we must remember that while they act “in persona Christi”, they are only human & will make mistakes just like we do!

**While the news media & many skeptics focus on the small percentage of priest who have failed, they rarely focus on the vast majority of priests who have given their lives to serve God & to serve others!

God Bless Pope Benedict XVI, all of the Bishops & all of our priests!

Pray for them daily!!**

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora Pro Nobis Peccatoribus!

Dear all,
I definitely agree that we find ourselves in a difficult time, but every time that the Church has been in a hard place God has raised up someone for that time to keep the Church alive. I think we all must remember to detach ourselves from the world. The world, most often, will not like us, especially at a time when what our faith teaches is so contrary to the culture, but we know this, Christ told us this. He also told us that the gates of Hell shall not conquer the Church he established. So, my friends, remember, and have hope, Christ loves us. With truth and love correct those who you can in a way that helps them to see the light; and for those who will not listen, pray. We must remember that the arguments for Truth cannot come from ourselves, but rather from God, the source of all Truth. We cannot begin this frustrating, staggering dance to death, this is the way the culture has killed so many things before. We must stay calm, resolved in our love for Christ and our humility in the Truth, if we do not, on an individual level we will begin a losing battle.
Stay strong brothers and sisters, Christ has our back,
B
