内容简介

\"FATHER LAR???\" JACKIE
ther New Priest is here!
With those words??? the crisis in my pr
serious??? entered its acute phase. Even at tt
dimly aware of its onset. I was losing faith
parish??? in my priesthood??? and in God.
\"Is Father Keenan cute?\" I tried to laugh away my unease.
Must not let the troops know I had my doubts about the new
priest.
\"Awesomely???\" the red-haired teenage receptionist gig-
gled. \"He s fixing the compuder!\"
\"No one can fix the compkter.\" I hung up the phone
gently.
Or anything else that is broken in Saint Finian s parish.
For us the new technology never works.
I had become a priest to save the world. Now I wanted
only to save the people of the world writ small that was my
parish. What would happen to me when I lost even that
dream?
It s hard to sustain a spiritual dream when so much of your
time is devoted to fixing busted machinery.
I sighed??? almost as loudly as our West-of-Ireland Cook
when none of us had finished our immense helpings of her
latest culinary masterpiece. I had been a New Priest once???
not awesomely cute perhaps but still filled with enthusiasm
and energy and youthful zeal. Now I would need all of the
four cardinal virtues--justice??? temperance??? fortitude??? and
prudencemto cope with my new associate.
A long time ago I had lots of those four virtues??? too.
