More - #OnlineSaints
Priests can have a great impact on the lives of people. These men are chosen by God to be shepherds of the faithful. This mainly means that they are ready to help anyone to advance in their relationship with Jesus, in particular by offering them the strength of the sacraments.
Stanley was a dedicated priest in a poor mountain area in Guatamala. The political situation made it very dangerous for him to stay with his people, but he did not want to leave them alone. He showed that a good shepherd stays with his flock especially when things are getting difficult. Are you called to be such a priest?
