By Fr. David Frederici, Catholic Exchange - We know the spiritual basics: the Liturgy of the Hours, daily Mass, Reconciliation, and a daily Holy Hour. But when these become mere duties or routines, and when we begin to skip them, our vocation is in danger. We’ve all heard stories of brother priests who left ministry and later admitted that praying the breviary had long since fallen away. The sexual abuse crisis exploded not long after I was ordained. I am certain that what kept me rooted in Christ and faithful to my vocation during those turbulent years was my commitment to praying the breviary.
