Adopt a Priest

Following up on yesterday's suggestions, let me add two more:
1) Why not add our pastor or a priest friend to the list of people we pray for daily? Mentioning this person by name to God and keeping aware of his needs will tighten the spiritual bond between him and us, as well as keep us aware of the power of intercessory prayer.
2) We can help him by giving words of encouragement regarding his homilies, his efforts in the parish; express gratitude for his presence; offer to help, even without being asked; let our love be evident through our actions. St. Marcellin was always ready to commend the pastors where the brothers taught. He was also honest with them when he saw them not fulfilling their promises or treating the brothers poorly. He saw clearly and acted sincerely. Simple things done from the heart go a long way.
Blessings,
Bro. Rene
