Pray for Priests And Their Sense of Aloneness

As a reminder to always pray for priests and religious and the difficulties they face in their vocation there is this letter from an Irish priest on his excellent blog Clerical Whispers. H/T to Deacon's Bench. Though this priest does not give this opinion there are others who feel that this problem could be solved if only priests could be allowed to marry. There are a number of good comments that make the case that is more complex than that and really not the solution at all.
