There has been little media coverage of the great compassion and humility among the majority of priests today. In my part of western North Carolina, we have had many, many clergy appointed to our parishes over the years, and the upside to all that change has been the opportunity to meet so many wonderful priests. Each one has helped me and taught me different things.
“Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.” “O Lord, my God, you are great indeed! How manifold are your works, O Lord.” These words from the Psalm 104 on Pentecost help to reveal the work of the Holy Spirit. How does the Spirit renew the face of the earth? Is it done in just one way, or are there a multitude of ways that grace is at work in the world?
