With a H/T to AmP, a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Fr. Benedict Groeschel’s ordination to the priesthood of Jesus Christ:
He was, without a doubt, a tremendous influence on me as I went through the RCIA process lo those many years ago. I found him, repeatedly, not quite fitting into the box in which I wanted to put him. He taught me then, as I continue to learn now, that there is the way of the left, the way of the right and then there is God’s way. It was, quite simply, something I wasn’t entirely ready to learn at that time and even now struggle with. His honesty, humility and tenacity are qualities I can only hope to emulate in some small way. May the Lord bless you Fr. Groeschel, and us, with many more years of service in his vineyard.
