Your dad must be a great man. Like Mark Twain said “the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

What an outstanding and beautiful article! I loved how you compared and then paralleled the vocations of a father and a priest. Yes, both vocations need good men. Both vocations are very needed in our world. Good Fathers and good priests.

We are so thankful that God worked through you and 20 young men attended the St. Andrew Dinner that you worked so hard on. You are a very good priest and your Father is a pretty good guy too! ❤️

Ben,

This article was so incredibly well written in that in reading I could tell you wrote this from your heart and I believe your story will inspire other men that feel “tension” to help them with their conflict. I love the family photos you added.
