He says he ``absolutely supports'' the church's rule on celibacy for priests. ``Now, if there's a choice between my children and the ministry, I have to choose the ministry,'' he says. ``I belong more to God than I do to my family.

``I don't care where my dad is, he holds me in his prayers, and that's the most powerful thing he can do for me,'' she says. Wow, what a beautiful thing to say, especially in today's world where most kids only think about ME!
It is a very nice story, thanks for the ping. May God Bless him with many wonderful years as a priest.
