Today I had my monthly Jesu Caritas group, a group of 5 priests who gather to pray together, share on our ministry experiences, and offer mutual support.
Today I got in my car and headed to the south shore to visit with a brother priest who apparently is suffering from some sort of mental disorder. He has just been released from the psychiatric wing of a major hospital and is resting at a friend’s place. He was suffering from serious delusions, such that he was giving away all his possessions and was convinced that he was in Hell. Yeesh. Anyway, he feels a lot better now, but his condition is still clearly unstable.
