30 years of marriage. Thanks be to God! Jesus, we are yours. Hold us in your tender gaze. Teach us to love well and with heroic virtue. Keep our children and grandchildren close to you always. Plant us deeply so that generations will grow strong even as we fade.

I did not realize this misconception was so common! It must be part of what drives clericalism in laity. The priest is only in persona Christi for absolution in confession, not counsel. And not at all in spiritual direction.

@melodymlyons @ruthdelioncourt @CFi325 So you don’t really believe in the idea of in persona Christi?

Catholics completely fed up with progressives rigidly legislating postures of the laity fight back by rigidly legislating postures of the laity.

I’ve never raise my hands. Maybe I’ll start. Praise and thanks to God who gives us these hands for his glory and who isn’t confused.

At the 9:25 mark, Father touches briefly on the recent discussion here on whether there should be spiritual direction between priests and women. Short answer? No. Worth listening to for understanding even if you disagree.

Wow. Powerful point of reflection.

This is a testimony to the "subjective dimension of work"—the ways in which particular types of work change the worker. We too often focus on the output of work, and not the ways in which the work forms people.
