In the Wake of Corapi

pray for priests!  Remember to pray, not just for the Holy Father, not just for your bishop, but for your priests, religious brothers and sisters, for your ministry teams...but especially pray for priests.  Excerpts:

...Last year, on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, Pope Benedict brought to a close the Year for Priests. In his homily, he said:

The liturgy interprets for us the language of Jesus’ heart, which tells us above all that God is the shepherd of mankind, and so it reveals to us Jesus’ priesthood, which is rooted deep within his heart; so too it shows us the perennial foundation and the effective criterion of all priestly ministry, which must always be anchored in the heart of Jesus and lived out from that starting-point.

With that in mind, it is not surprising that the Holy Father’s general prayer intention focuses on priests:

That priests, united to the Heart of Christ, may always be true witnesses to the caring and merciful love of God...

And keep formerly Father Corapi in your prayers, as well--I think he needs them badly.
