A good priest is worth his weight in gold. Such a priest was Fr. Peter Carota, now deceased.

We pray for him, as we must indeed all, but I would like to think that he needs our prayers less than most, although we are not to judge someone's eternal destiny, of course.

What is certain is that Fr. Peter Carota helped many a people grow in the faith, myself included, and for that those he enlightened will be ever grateful to him.

On this day we remember the Holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul.

Let us take this chance to remind ourselves of what a "pastor bonus", a good shepherd, looks like! It is one who will be willing to suffer and die for the sake of those in his care, for the sake of truth and Christ.
