“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

The priesthood must be good for your health, for this man does not look like he’s old enough to have been a priest for 60 years!
I am going to the ordination of two men to the priesthood, and two to the diaconate this Saturday. Our diocese is being blessed with vocations. May God be praised.
The Pope’s prayer intentions for this month are for priests:

‘Ad Multos Annos’ to Father Welzbacher (hey, that’s a good German name!)!
I agree with Miss Anita-he doesn’t look old enough to be a priest for 60 years!
And he was ordained in the same year as a fellow German, our Holy Papa Benedict! Very cool!
Fr. Welzbacher has been in my prayers since I had him as teacher in college. One of my favorites!!! Smart is an understatment…btw, he hasn’t changed in looks since 1994.
O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and
fervent priests;
for Your unfaithful and tepid
priests;
for Your priests laboring at home or
abroad in distant mission fields;
for Your tempted priests;
for Your lonely and desolate priests;
for Your young priests;
for Your dying priests;
for the souls of Your priests in
purgatory.
But above all I recommend to You
the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priest who absolved me from my
sins;
the priests at whose Masses I
assisted and who gave me Your
Body and Blood in Holy
Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed
me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted
in any other way.
O Jesus, keep them all close to Your
heart, and bless them abundantly in
time and in eternity. Amen.
St. Therese of Lisieux
I wish Fr. Welzbacher a Happy Anniversary! Ad Multos Annos!
Axios! God grant him many happy and blessed years!
