Priests do so much for us.  We go to our priests for our spiritual needs, prayer requests, Mass offerings, and sacraments (sometimes urgently).  Through the hands of the priest we receive the greatest gift ever given — the Holy Eucharist.  Without our priests, we would not be able to receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Yet, how is the priest sustained spiritually in all that he does for us?  Praying for the priest is one of the most generous things we can do for him.

"Los pecados serán perdonados a los que ustedes se los perdonen, y serán retenidos a los que ustedes se los retengan”. (Juan 20, 23)

En 1922, G.K. Chesterton, de 48 años, entró en plena comunión con la Iglesia católica.  Catorce años más tarde, en su autobiografía, Chesterton explicaría por qué se hizo católico con esta sencilla, pero profunda, afirmación:  “Para librarme de mis pecados”.
