The devil is abroad.
Many thanks.

“The devil is abroad.”
Direct hit on nail head!!!!!!!!!
Yes, we must pray.
Each June, being the middle of the year, early into summer, and to get my summer off to a good start I now go on a women’s retreat. This year’s women’s retreat, on the closing Sunday morning talk or homily given, the Passionist priest that gave it, said that there are times when he was tempted to take off his collor when he would go out, concerned about negivtive responses from everyday people, post-sexual abuse scandals-wise. Not surprised, sad reality to deal with.
I am very distressed about this.
Wow.
