Mental Health of Priests Part 2 with Fr. Rob

In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George to discuss again the Mental Health of Priests with a focus on how their experience of Catholicism shifts after ordination. Men become priests for a variety of reasons. All their lives until ordination they participate in the Sacraments just like a lay person in the pews would participate in the Mass. After ordination, they transition from participating to 'doing' or 'saying' Mass. This is a transition that all priests need to overcome in their mental health. Listen to part 1 here. Previous Episode Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed reflection and contemplation upon God’s work throughout the past day. In the Nativity story, we hear that Mary pondered the first Christmas in her heart. Fr. Rob and Fr. George call us to end our days with some reflection and contemplation about where God worked. It is easy to grow frustrated at the mundane work of the day or the tedious commute. When we stop to reflect on this work, we see how God is using these small sacrifices to build his kingdom on this side of life. Separating a time for reflection allows us to see the greater picture of God’s work. Links Order your copy of Why Christians Can Wear Pants here, Fr.
