PLEASE pray specifically for Father Foster. He is a dear friend and a courageous priest.
But this pressure over the last decade has worn him down to the point that he would almost welcome having his faculties removed.
His dad died two years ago.
His pastor made him use up all his sick days and vacation days to be at his side.
The bishop put him in a church almost the farthest away from his home in the diocese.
He requested a closer post to be closer to his dad during his illness.
The bishop has done this for his favored priests.
He refused with Father Jim.
His pastor has persecuted him too relentlessly.
This is Fr Jim's year to be transferred.
Pray for him that he perseveres! Please.
