Take care of the priests in your Parish. They need our supports in different forms. Like our brothers, fathers and mentors let’s treat them as such. It is not easy to be there for parishioners even when they’re not so strong.
The essence of sending inspirational anniversary messages for a priest is to motivate them into doing the work of God. I know you will say that’s the work they’re called for, that’s right. But remember they’re humans first. So it is a human thing to get motivated on applauds.
