When such scandals surface some Catholics want to scatter. Those of us who want to stand firm and united do have to listen to others about what is happening as if it is only happening in the Catholic church. I refuse to leave as I know that the God I believe in will make things right. I will not straddle the fence. I'm a Catholic 24/7. It is hurtful and painful to see what has happened, but to group all priests in one category is not fair to the ones who are true to their vows. This is the time to let our parish priest know we continue to support the Catholic church and continue to ask God to raise up more priests in abundance.

Thanks for sharing the video. The older I get the more I relish the silence. I arrive to church early as one way to sit one on one with the Lord. Yes, I can do that Adoration and home as well, but at church and looking up at the crucifix I am in awe of His love for me, me, a sinner who He loved enough to stretch out His arms not just to be nailed on the cross, but for me to feel He is saying, these arms want you to come into them so that I can hold and console you. Sometimes when I sit in church I just let the tears flow with love for Him.
