Thank You... the magical words.

I came upon this site the other day: http://www.thankyoufather.com/. Would it be true to say that we sometimes fail to appreciate and thank our priests? Most of the time, we are critical about them. We disagree with their decisions and at times may not be very helpful in their ministry. We forget that as men of the cloth they have in a human way responded to God's call!

Thank you Fathers for responding to Jesus call.
Thank you Fathers for Baptizing our children.
Thank you Fathers for allowing us to unburden ourselves on you.
Thank you for your daily Masses.
Thank you for visiting and looking after the spiritual needs of the sick and the forgotten.
Thank you for my marriage.
Thank you for all that you do and for being there.
Thank you Jesus for sending these men!

Yarm's: Unfortunately there have been priests who have taken advantage of their position. We forget that the vast majority of them continue their ministry with generosity and love even under precarious circumstances.
