One joy I've had in my life is having good, enriching and life-giving friendships with priests. I really became friends with priests during my graduate studies in pastoral ministry. Before that, I had viewed priests as quite beyond my reach. They belonged to the lofty heights reserved for God's special friends. I was too ordinary to join their ranks.
I have found though that priests are quite human and that they too need good, God-fearing friendships. The life they are called to is fraught with challenges. They too need the human connection all people need to thrive and grow. I am blessed by having priest friends. I remember them now and keep them in my prayers especially this year of the priest.
