The post-ordination glow
I'm back from my ordination to the priesthood, so I guess I need to amend my personal description. The ordination went well and I hope to talk more about it on the next Catholic:Under The Hood episode. Let me just say that it was a most joyous occasion with many family and friends. I have gotten very busy with Masses on Sunday and Monday and hearing my first confessions this evening - what a powerful and awesome responsibility. I have to keep telling myself that God gives the grace, God gives the grace to keep from running away from it all.
Nothing in the seminary can really prepare you for the reality of this sacramental ministry, to know that what you do will have a tremendous affect on many people but also to see that God is truly bringing forth blessings in you. Wow.
