As one whose parish has just had to say goodbye to a very dear beloved parish priest who went on needed sabbaithical rest for the next 6-12 months after having dealt with the death of his beloved mother and now having just welcomed what is a new priest/administrator into my parish in the last week or so. The new priest, like the previous one, can in as a later vocation. This new priest is the same age as I, 55, and has been a priest for a little over a year.

So even personal hurt and heartache can come even to our beloved priests.

Losing immediate family is extremely painful. Losing parents is bad enough, but sister and husband....
