Don’t bother the priest!

10 August 2010 · by  2 Comments

All priests have had holy moments interrupted by people who are either utterly clueless or are so self-absorbed that they cannot conceive of the idea that there are limits on their behavior. Almost always the priest controls the situation, speaks politely to the person and tries to guide them back to a more appropriate behavior.

But, Father Orthoduck must shamefully admit that he has sometimes wished he could do what the priest in this video does. You see, Father Orthoduck is a sinful duck whose thought life makes him grateful that Our Lord has chosen to love us, forgive us, and ask Our Father in heaven to send us the Holy Spirit to change us and sanctify us. He only asks that we receive Him and cooperate with Him in our growing into the likeness of our God.

    “You see, Father Orthoduck is a sinful duck whose thought life makes him grateful that Our Lord has chosen to love us, forgive us, and ask Our Father in heaven to send us the Holy Spirit to change us and sanctify us.”

    Me too, Father, me too. I am also grateful that our Lord has constructed us (by whatever means) such that those around us cannot directly read our minds.
