Did Jesus make a mistake when he chose married men, like Saint Peter, to be His Apostles?
I am a Catholic priest, a husband and a father - I like to think that any one of these vocations makes me better at the other two.

Father Pfeiffer was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1963 after graduating with 5 Masters degrees from Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. In 1976 he married Cynthia and together they raised 6 kids. In 1981 they started Mary's Field, a non-profit organization to help battered wives and pregnant teenagers. In 1995 they bought a 20 acre property for hosting retreats for AA and numerous other religious and social organizations. He spent 30 years teaching Latin and is now semi-retired.

Who do you love? and who do you decide not to love?
Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Father Pfeiffer was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1963 after graduating with 5 Masters degrees from Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. In 1976 he married Cynthia and together they raised 6 kids. In 1981 they started Mary's Field, a non-profit organization to help battered wives and pregnant teenagers. In 1995 they bought a 20 acre property for hosting retreats for AA and numerous other religious and social organizations. He spent 30 years teaching Latin and is now semi-retired. He says mass every Sunday morning, continues to do some counseling, in addition to writing a monthly newsletter, babysitting a few days a week for his two grand kids and raising 27 white ducks for eggs.
Every Sunday my dad says mass. After each homily he ends with a call for "questions, comments or observations." This, among other things, makes for good discussions and reflections about the Sunday readings, and mass with my father as the celebrant something unique.
So I will conclude with the same - "Questions, comments, observations?"
