Priests are sitting ducks and I can only pray young seminarians know what they signing up for. “Accusation” is the new weapon of torture. Peace in Christ….JO

Dearest Father,

In Eucharistic Adoration, Jesus is waiting for us as a prisoner of love for us and for all who seek him. I see that same love in you and now I know of your suffering and dedicate the time I spend in prayer with yours and all who await our Lord and Savior. Jesus, my Jesus!

So, once long ago I too suffered a comparatively minor injustice… When I redressed the wrong doing, the advocate said because you said nothing at the time, we assumed it was ok…

Every time we assent to wrong doing trough our silence, we support that wrong doing… We are part of it… Everyone who hears of injustice, and does nothing, is part of it…

Father, I am praying for guidance on the right actions for me to take on your behalf… I am also praying for you too… Every day, in my morning Rosary…

Every Bishop, and every Priest and Deacon, and every member of the body of Christ who assents to injustice is accountable at the judgment, not only for their wrong doing, but also what they should have done – and did not do…

All Catholics would do well to carefully study the New Testament, the life of Christ… Listen carefully to his words… Notice his personality… Observe his attitudes… Reflect on his parables… What is he saying, to you?

Does he ever placate secular authority? Does he ever pay an out of court settlement to avoid publicity? Does he ever compromise his values, ever? Does he willingly die for his principles?

In the end many will say Lord, Lord… Then He will say, “I never knew you”… Bishops, Priest, Deacons to whom much is given, the Faithful to whom much is given: please listen carefully and reflect deeply on the Master… Repent today…

Father you are in good company, the company of Saint Paul, and many others… God has richly blessed you…

Many years ago, Fr. Corapi said that the devil goes after priests because, ultimately, without priests there are no Sacraments, no confession, no forgiveness. You, Fr. Corapi and all falsely-accused priests are in my prayers.
God Bless You,
Al

I’m so stunned and sickened by what has happened to you. I want to help in anyway I can.

Whatever I can do, I will, including financial support to help with your legal expenses. I teach in a catholic school and don’t make much, but, I’ll give up things to help you. I mean that.

You can count on my daily prayers. Please continue to fight this. The Lord has not/cannot abandon you; it’s impossible, although at times it must seem like He has.

Have you read the Screwtape Letters? Frequently I am drawn to reread chapter 9 in which Screwtape discusses the law of undulation, the peaks of troughs of human experience and how “…during the trough periods, much more so than the peak periods, that it (read human soul) is growing into the sort of creature He wants them to be….Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”

I’m assuming you know this wonderful work by CS Lewis. If you don’t, I’m not certain that the above will make sense. Please, please read it if you haven’t. And if you don’t have it, I will get it for you.

In the meanwhile, keep doing what you’re doing. You are bringing Him great, great glory.

In His Holy love,
Susan

….I am glad that I was made aware of your situation !!!! As an ex-police officer I’ve seen “our judicial system” at work first hand, and know the travesty it plays in today’s world !!!! We live in a VERY, VERY SICK society, and only God can change it !!!!! There’s NO politician or social group that has the answers !!!! During this Easter Season we can only pray that God will forgive us, and we get the spiritual courage to listen and act on His enlightment !!!! You’ll be in my prayers !!!! Happy Easter ( I know the happy part will be tough) !!!!!!!!!

Yours in Christ, Michael

Fr, please try to stay hopeful. There are so many things that will be happening that will turn this world upside down. You certainly will be free again and so ready to help the despairing. I just learned about you and will be praying for you. This life is so hard, and Christ has given you a most bitter part of his suffering. When it is over you will have eternal glory. God bless you, Lupe

Hello Father,
As a Byzantine Catholic, we recite the Beatitudes as part of the Divine Liturgy:
In Thy Kingdom remember us, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after justice, for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they shall revile you and persecute you, speaking all that is evil against you untruly for My sake. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is truly great in heaven.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.
Your plight calls to mind the last of the Beatitudes in particular. I will keep you and your intentions in my prayers.

I just found your blog through a link from Daughters of the King. I have barely begun to read it, but already I am entranced by your story and your writing. I can’t imagine the suffering you must endure. God bless you, Father!
