12 Angry Seminarians

I just returned from a wonderful evening, compliments of the Little Sisters... compliments of the seminarians. St. Charles Borromeo Seminary put on the play, "12 Angry Men". A story well known to most, but for those of your who don't know I shall indulge. 12 jurors sit in the jury room to decide if there is reasonable doubt for a young boy who is on trail for the murder of his father.

As anger broke out in the jury room and tensions swung back and forth while the debate continued on, I could not help but think.. these are seminarians! They are discerning the priesthood and will one day, God willing, stand en persona Christe! Our simple, broken humanity charged with the great privilege and task of bringing Christ into the world today with "skin on him".

It also reminded me how necessary our prayers are for priests, seminarians, and those who are called but not yet in formation.

Let us remember to pray! To stay human and allow emotions to be real, but also to allow Love to pervade every aspect of our life!

AMEN!
