Wednesday Thought

I heard a priest on KATH 910 AM radio talk about the joy of the priesthood. He mentioned how he had had bad days as a priest, but never a bad week.

That got me thinking. In my line of work, there have been bad days, sometimes weeks at a time, where I wondered if I would be more suited for driving a bus. In contrast, my vocation - that of a married man - is one which has given me great joy every day without exception.

Even on those days where the children are non-compliant, and my wife misunderstands me - even those days are full of a wonderful sense of peace and joy.
