Keeper of the day, just needs to be translated: « Après Dieu, le Prêtre, c’est tout ! Laissez une paroisse vingt ans sans Prêtre : on y adorera les bêtes » (Curé d'Ars)
After God, the Priest is everything! Leave a Parish without a Priest for twenty years: we'll be adoring the beasts! Hmmm...based on the principle of St Thomas Aquinas and what Saint Paul says in the Letter to the Romans-once we spurn the Creator, we turn towards creatures...once there is no witness in any place to be a sign of the One True God, we do worship creatures, pleasure, nature, forces of nature and fleshy comforts, our selfish feelings, mental security and grow moss...hard enough with the Priest! esp. if the Priest succumbs to that himself! Pray for Priests and for those who form them and who maintain them!
