Message: <blockquote data-quote="D. Hargrove" data-source="post: 3006465" data-attributes="member: 41761"><p>Another instance of human nature at work. The old saying "the Lord works in mysterious ways" may be at play here. I will not condemn nor condone the priest and those participants in the games. The life he chose to lead and the rules he chose to live by are rigorous for any man, thus the challenges of the flesh are a slippery slope for all. The Devil will tempt any or all of us at any given time. Weakness is natural and for those held to a higher level of position by parishioners are often the hardest hit by these sinful temptations. Through honest, heartfelt confession and true sorrow this man just may pull himself closer to his calling. If we believe the Lord already knows the trials and tribulations we will encounter in our lives and that he already knows our sins, then may this man either truly realize his errors and deal with the Lord IOT gain the Lord's pleasure again, or may this force him(the Priest) to realize the calling was not truly for him. Let he without sin throw the first stone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
