You proved that at least ONE orthodox priest can't be intimidated! What if every good seminarian had done that! I was reading a little Bishop Sheen prayer book that said nothing good comes without suffering and humiliation. I used to think that was a sign I was in over my head. Now I take hardship as a sort of anointing - it helps you build calluses for the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-22235558612387497152007-03-18T14:21:00.000-07:002007-03-18T14:21:00.000-07:00Rapaella, No, I didn't take this one - I stole it ...Rapaella, No, I didn't take this one - I stole it form their web site. I did take the one that was on the front of their bulletin - at least it was up to two years ago.Fr.

I have actually heard other priests describing some of the same battles you faced in the seminary, and they're awesome priests, now, too! :-) <BR/><BR/>Secondly, I think that you might just have delivered a personal message. I don't want to go into it here, but your comment about the Spiritual Director kinda just hit a bullseye in relation to a prayer I said not even 5 minutes ago. <BR/><BR/>Hmm...must pray some more....Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-65152460599563421022007-03-17T08:15:00.000-07:002007-03-17T08:15:00.000-07:00-those in charge at this particular period wanted ...-those in charge at this particular period wanted no part of me in the priesthood.-<BR/><BR/>Thank you for pulling through, father. I have heard this story before, a certain clique controlling the seminaries and forcing good men out. I thank God he gave you the grace to get through it all.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028190531437571201noreply@blogger.com
