This morning while praying the Rosary before Mass, I received a blessing.  I should say we received a blessing.  A diocesan priest, on vacation, joined us.  He just knelt over near the sacristy and prayed.  He even remained a while after the Rosary ended.

I'm not saying that diocesan priests don't pray.  It's just that it seems rare to see one pray in a lay lead group.  They're probably afraid it looks pretentious, or that someone will interrupt their praying to ask an inane question.

Thank God they all don't think like that.  And thank God for Father Who Ever You Are.

Lord, shower this priest with the gifts necessary to do Your work.  Give him health and people who support him.  Keep him true to Your teachings.  And lead him to lead other priests to the Rosary prayed with Your children.  I ask this through Jesus, Your Son, our Redeemer.  Amen.
