You're right, of course, in what you say. The temptation for priests is to go "incognito" so as to be able to go quickly in and quickly out without too much trouble. I was once followed around a store for fifteen minutes by someone trying to determine if I was who I looked like I was. I'll try to be more purposeful in the future.Rev. Daren J.

It is a great witness to non-Catholics, of course, about the priesthood and that it is "incarnated" right there in Effingham, Illinois. But it is also a great witness to Catholics - that we should not be ashamed to let our faith, our Catholicism, show in public. I'm sure that it can be uncomfortable, and I sympathize with you, Father - it's not easy being conspicuous in public - but it can be a great inspiriation for the flock to see their shepherd making such a simple public witness. Please consider this upside when deciding what to wear. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10038924.post-70888977849247225042007-05-31T09:18:00.000-05:002007-05-31T09:18:00.000-05:00Yes, I guess sometimes I'm just a boring old mom. ...Yes, I guess sometimes I'm just a boring old mom. But in my defense, I grew up in a house where we drank bottled water before it was considered "in" and since I always had really good spring water, I never had a problem drinking it. Plus, my husband is prone to kidney stones and must drink lots of water, so we buy it in 5 1/2 gallon bottles and have dispenser.<BR/><BR/>I do prefer diet coke to diet pepsi (I am a pre-diabetic so the days of regular soda are gone for me) and my new favorite non water drink is citrus flavored Lipton diet green tea. <BR/><BR/>I was saddened to read that you are getting unwanted comments on your blog. I hope it stops since I love reading your blog and throwing in my "two cents" worth.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381445346226109566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10038924.post-80448859695243244542007-05-31T06:13:00.000-05:002007-05-31T06:13:00.000-05:00How boring, Ellen ;)How boring, Ellen ;)Rev.

I can't imagine being stared at for my religion and it must be many times worse for those who are stared at for a physical impairment. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if you only got another head your collar wouldn't be so obvious!!!!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381445346226109566noreply@blogger.com
