Are you prepared that the Holy Spirit may call on the phone?  Watch out, he called me yesterday. I pick up, a foreign number – Yes I’m listening – It’s the Holy Spirit – I hear the answer. – Well hello Holy Spirit how are you?  The man smiles in the receiver – Yes well, Holy Spirit!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And so our conversation began. A completely unknown man calls and talks and tells.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

– My son, you know, he went to confession and the priest treated him so badly that because of this he no longer goes to church or to any confession. That’s that, he said won’t go anymore.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

– What are you saying, Holy Spirit? But you know what – I say – after all, there are different priests. There are those who will help you change your life. We will continue to talk. I must admit that I have met different priests. The kind that homeless people mention. One homeless man said 'I remember a confession, how I begged for death and prayed before the Lord Jesus, because I didn’t want to live anymore, I was fed up, and the priest after the confession gave me a rosary. Can you imagine? He said: in the Name of Jesus all your sins are forgiven, and then he gave me a rosary.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I will remember this confession as much as he does. It was a confession that changed his life. the second priest, when he heard in the confessional that someone needs help, that it’s not just confession, but help is needed, then later after confession offered – I will help you. There are such priests, really. If someone treated you badly it is not all priests. Search!  If you can’t, call! Ask around! Find a good priest, he like Jesus will be waiting for you. We are all sinful. We all commit sins, but it is not worth saying goodbye to the Church, to our Mother Church, because of one priest, who is also a sinner just like us. We are all on the way to God. Look for that path. Start looking for it, it is not far away. May Jesus be glorified in all those priests who, like Jesus, are Merciful, they are love, they help, they lead the sheep to the Church through confession and the sacraments. May Jesus be glorified in a phone call from the Holy Spirit. That is something!  Such a phone call!  To hear from the other side the Holy Spirit calling is priceless!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
