This is perhaps the most beautifully written meditation dedicated to all Catholic priest's. I was given a copy of this priceless gem on November 5, 2003. And our Lord has brought it to my attention today to encourage all of us to a deeper prayerful life devoted to prayer and devoted to the priesthood. Fr. Gobbi of the Marian Movement of Priests has blessesd us with his writings and reflections and prayers. They are certainly needed now more than ever. The attack on our faith, is very real. However, since we believe in God, who created heaven and earth and every living person, we entrust ourselves and others under the precious mantle of our blessed and holy mother Mary! She is protecting us at this moment. She is with us through every trial. Mary will never leve her children, she is present to us through every prayer, fighting off the spiritual warfare that has been running rampant, since the beginning of time. Mary, thank you for being our shield of protection for hearing every single word of every prayer we recite for our priest, seminarians, our cloistered sisters, and everyone serving the Catholic church. We are so endebted to you, as I write this and as I write for Jesus and for every soul that belongs to Christ for all eternity, may this podcast be blessed upon my dying breadth, may every soul be converted to thee, to the truth, to the eternal reward promised to all the faithful. Let us pray. Mother Mary envelop with your love and mantle all the religious, even our lay brothers and sisters who serve the church in various ministries, you know how important those ministers are who volunteer their time, treasure, and talent, for the salvation of souls. We devote them all to Jesus, may they desire to enter into a holier way of life through the Catholic Catechism Of The Catholic Church's teachings. For God's way of life is in fact the best life any man or woman can live. I pray for great leadership to develop in all the Catholic churches throughout the world. I pray for those leaders serving the hurting, those who are thrirsting for the truth, find Jesus today in our brothers and sisters, may they experience miracuolus healing this day and every day as they witness the power of you through the Holy Eucharist, the Holy Mass, And a contrite Confession, it is there that we find Jesus Christ when we humbly come before him and confess our sins, we experience a change deep within our soul when our confession is earnest, and when we confess frequently we are cleansing the sin out of our bodies. Only Christ can remove those sins, those scars, that have made a mess out of so many lives. We need Jesus. We need to be completely healed by the power entrusted to our priests that come from God himself. Otherwise, we go through this life not fully knowing and living in the God that created us out of himself, out of love, compassion, forgiveness, and the opportunity to make straight the crooked path, He gives us multiple chances to win back everything that we have lost through sin. Never ever forget, we are a work in progress, we are his greatest creation, but we have to come to the realization of knowing who we are, who he is in us, once we get that, we can live in righteousness, we can live through difficulty that brings us ultimately to the conversion of our soul. Awakened never to live in slumber again, how reassuring is that? Yes, our Lord loves you and I that much, yes if only we could surrender to him and let go of our selves, we would all be much better off than we are today. For those that want to live a life in Christ, make your promise to God, and remain faithful to Him. It will free your life completely. For free will is not free, it costs us dearly. God is a God of order. We rest when we place our trust in Him.
