To my Brother priests,
That tweet from @Bishopoftyler honoring the priest disobeying his Bishop & fighting hard for the theology of the Republican Party absolutely broke my heart.
I’ve learned a lot in almost 22 years as a priest, but few things more important than this:

I’ve learned a lot in almost 22 years as a priest, but few things more important than this:
You can love and serve the bride of Christ as faithfully and diligently as you want, but she will never love you back.
She will spend all of her energy telling priests in trouble that they are valuable and running you into the ground.
It’s heartbreaking.

Today, I left my one day off to drive an hour back simply to be with a woman as she died, To comfort her family and to guide her safely home.
I don’t say this to be honored, I promise.
I say it because I suspect I’m more like you than the priest that Bishop chose to honor today.

Please, please, don’t let wicked men define this for you.
Jesus sees you.
He sees how hard you fight to discover what’s right.
He sees you bleed for this well our leaders look away.
He sees the days you put on the smile even though you can barely move.
He treasures it so much,
Jesus sees you.
He sees how hard you fight to discover what’s right.

He sees the days you put on the smile even though you can barely move.
He treasures it so much,
Even if his bride doesn’t.
That tweet reminded me of how grateful I should be for my bishop, he fights for holiness and encourages us to do the same.
If you have a good bishop, praise God for that today.
If you don’t, pray for his conversion.

But whomever your bishop, Jesus is your Lord & He sees you & loves that you love His People.
I’m proud to be your brother.
