We like this post Father Jeff, becsusr it reminded us of when St. John the apostle said in the Bible "Ask God and you shall receive" (during the miracle of the fish and bread with Jesus among the thousands of hungry poor people).

Yes Fr Keyes, a few years back I asked God to send me a holy priest as it was a questionable time. Priests I knew left the priesthood for various reasons. Even the one who married us had fallen into trouble and left. God is Good! For at the same time, He sends me two prayerful priests from different parishes. One more charismatic than not and the other you. What is most important for me now is to constantly pray for good priests as I did not do so years back.

[…] The apostle does indeed suffer. Perhaps the event that has just frustrated his efforts and ruined his work will result in the loss of several of his flock. A bitter sorrow for this true pastor — but it will not be able to dampen the ardor that will make him start over again. He knows that all redemption, be it merely that of a single soul, is a great work, accomplished above all by suffering. He is certain that generosity in supporting trial increases his progress in virtue, and procures greater glory for God; and this certainty is enough to sustain him...
