Priesthood Thanksgiving

Fr. Rob Johansen has a good Thanksgiving post on his blog Thrown Back that begins with a report on his celebration of the day this year and then...

"But it was yesterday morning at Mass that I realized what I had to be most thankful for. I was able to concelebrate Mass at the local parish. The priest, Fr. Boniface, was most gracious and welcoming. Fr. Boniface is 86 years old, and still going strong. He’s a little stooped, and he doesn’t move very fast, but according to everyone here, he’s just as active as the other parish priests.... In his own quiet way, he was inspiring to me. I realized that Fr. Boniface, and all the other priests like him who have been faithful to their vocations for decades, quietly doing the Lord’s work, are truly men to be thankful for."

God be thanked for good priests
and may God bless Father Boniface and Father Rob.
