you did a very good job, pads. i can see your devotion in your ministry. thank you for that. your experience speaks volume of reasons why priests of the RC must stay single. a very valuable lesson much deeper than quotations from other sources. one can't beat experience on this matter.

not to argue your honest thought of the matter, let me also share this story of an Anglican Priest. as you know, Anglicans do not have a lot of differences from Catholics. He of course is married. Has wife, who is working, and two kids, who are in their teens. He admits the challenges of married life coupled with ministerial demands of his office. But there are just as much challenges in one who is married in the priesthood as one who's not. He says there's more freedom in being single, just as there's more in being married. He meant that his wife has completely understood right in the beginning of their union, what his job entails and hers, too, to their works and to their family. The balancing of hours between each other and between their children has never been a cause of strain.

It is engaging when you work in a community, and you have a family, he said. you become more aware of your  family duties and witnessing of the gospel. all in one.

Sometimes, it is more advantageous when you need intense conversation about church, fundraisers, plans and other concerns, the wife is the first to hear and you are sure, she is not going to judge you for anything. the family is however his priority. but it is also his source of inspiration to be faithful to his ministry. their children, even in their tender age, have also done their part. they enjoy what other kids have. but with a twist. they have a duty not only in their home but in their "bigger home" --church, as well. it is not that his life has no problems. he does like everybody else. but his consolation is that he's been blessed with beautiful family, and good parishioners.

i like you, pads. your honesty reminds me of this friend. like him, you serve the same God and same mission. maybe, with a twist. di ka mananghid ni Misis; siya, tugutan ni Misis, sa way pagpangutana. 

Bilib kaayo ko sa explaination nimo Father. Nakasabot jud ming mga slow learner aning religion hehhehe.Thanks kaayo Dre sa pagpasabot.
Sa mga wala magmenyo ,wala mamenyo ug wala na gyud pag asa mamenyo hehhehe sakripisyo jud intawong dako ning kinabuhing menyo labi na naa moy mga bata makapangutan jud ta ug Tibook man unta ko nganong nagpasinsiyo. Once ma sinsiyo na ka bug at na ang dalan nga imong lakwan didto sa kahimayaan heheheh. Swerte ning nakahunahuna ug magpari kay tibook pa sila hahaha.

Ang Pari mga human beings man na sila (just my opinion) unya kay human man ni sila, subject to make mistakes sad. It would never change me the way i look at them ug napandol ni sila kay lagi dili man ni sila mga robot,(mao ba to?)

unya lagi kanang mga politiko usahay triple life pa nganong ning work ma? naa man gani manotok tungang gabii kay mangayo ug lungon or hinabang etc etc! labaw pa sa 27/7 na sha! hahahahha! jawk pero tinuod baja na.

masinabtanon nis MDB, pads, kay nakauyab nig pari sa una. nyahahahhhhaah

Sa ahong panahon sa una, sus inigpanimba namo basta gwapo tong bag-ong Pari nga momisa, puno sa mga nursing students ang Cathedral.  Diha koy duha ka kaila nga girls nga nakauyab ug Pari, ako naka-uban ug disco nila. Nakabayle kog Pari sa una....aho pang gibinuangan..."I am dancing with God..kay di ba may  pangjadye. "Ikaw Padre ilis ka sa Diyos dinhi.." He just smiled!  sorry Fr. chic ha!  On that time....daghang nanggawas kay nanggaminyo. I found it absolutely okey.

masinabtanon nis MDB, pads, kay nakauyab nig pari sa una. nyahahahhhhaah

Kinamauhan ka Toy,mao ni hinungdan usahay magbalik balik ko pangumpisal mao rang sa'a  hehehhe

I can hear you re-echo His words verbatim. "I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers.  I came to invite sinners." Welcome to our house, Pads.

Nagdamgo pud baya ko sa una ma-Jesuit, kalit ra man ko namata naa na'y tupad waswit.

Tinuod ka? Positive ba ni siya nga adjective, Bay HB? Hinuon, after reading your anecdote on Socrates, it sounds much better to be Jesuitic or switik than Socratic.

He he, bitaw, Bay Ben, I guess ang negative connotation sa "Jesuitic"--meaning, maajong mogamit og confusing or ambiguous words to deceive others--maoy nahimong "switik".

Ambot nganong naingon ni ani. It must be because Jesuits are usually scholars (read: over-educated, he he) that their name has become associated with craftiness.

As for Socrates, well, he was a vain man whose vanity is worth a thousand modesties in any imaginable universe. Most other vanities are not even worth one unit of computer memory.

Maayong pagmata, Pads. OK ra man tingali for Socrates to listen to his own voice in a debate (kay wa man tingali makalupig niya at that time), pero ug sa videoke ka mayabag, kapin pa diri sa Pinas, you can be the 12th (na ba?) fatality.

Sakto ka Father bakakon ning tawo moingon wala siyay sala. Even the just man sin 7 times a day unsa pa kaha ko mahibal an ra jud ning katag inig hukman na ko sa Ginoo diha ra ko kabawo kapila kaha ko kasala sa usa ka adlaw hehehhe.
@ Glacier agree ko nimo bisan unsa diay ta nga stage sa kinabuhi atong gilakwan magkinahanglan jud ug dagkong sakripisyo.Ma admin man sa TB or ma poster magsakrispisyo jud.Ug poster ka unya hinam ang topic usahay sakripisyohon sa nimo ug pangihi ug kaon kay humanon ang gi type.hehehe

Lisod jud siguro ning tentasyon sa pari kay laliman puro mga dalaga ug naa poy di dalaga. Attractive man ning pari jud ba bisan  uban hindi kagwapuhan hahahah.
