Immediate prayers for Fr. Dayro ????

[RoseofLima]

Father just called me -- and is really struggling. He has not been a priest for very long- only about 4 years. I was even at his ordination (which it seems like something I should perhaps avoid in the future as every Ordination which I have attended - the priest has left the priesthood )

Fr. Dayro had the worst, worst assignment (our local parish which has a reputation for just ripping priests apart)--followed by another horrible assignment. He is really burnt out. And I think he is going to go on sabbatical. He feels like he doesn't really have anyone to talk to- which I guess is why he called me.

I urged him to ask the Archbishop to send him to counselling -so that he would have someone to talk to in confidence, who has the skills to help him. And also to seek holiness whil he took time off-- to seek quiet and spiritual edification- to remain celibate. These things will help to have the silence and stillness necessary to hear God. I also recommended that he talk to a young priest who just returned to active ministry after taking time off- who thought of leaving.

I am begging you for your prayers for this priest. Praying that he will find the help and encouragemnet and compassion he needs - in order to be able to return to the fullness of the priesthood, and carry on in his vocation. My heart just breaks- both for him and for the Church. His name is Father Dayro. May God bless you richly for your prayers for his servant.....

Absolutely!

Mary, watch over your son.

St. John Vianney pray for Fr. Dayro!
Mary wrap your mantle around your son, Fr. Dayro!

I will offer him up in my Rosary tonight.

 

[Sacha Saint Francis]

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I said a prayer for Fr. Dayro.

There is truly a great battle being waged our priests are being assailed right and left and many of them do not have the support group in place to help them through it and some have abandoned their prayer life. We must pray, pray, and pray for our priests. We must show them support, invite them to our homes for dinner, compliment them when they do well, and let them know that we need them to be holy and to have a prayer life.

This has been placed on my heart this week, so I thought I would share. We need to pray the Rosary for our priests and we need to visit the Blessed Sacrament lifting up our priests and seminarians.

I couldn't agree more!

That is so, so so true.....

often, too, it is the holiest priests which are attacked most fiercely...do not let their holiness lull us into a lack of fervor in our prayer for them.....

 

[Virgil the Roman]

I prayed for Him! May the Lord help!

 

[anuka]

Praying for Father...

Not to change the topic, but is it really appropriate to use his name in this thread? I mean, I assume he contacted you in confidence...and it's a public forum .
I'd think it's important to also respect the confidentiality of our priests when they reach out to us.

God bless

 

[RoseofLima]

It's his first name....so it's like saying pray for Fr. Bill.....

Thanks y'all for your prayers...

 

[redMountian]

May the Lord grant him peace.

May he continue to have the strength to and and lead us in holiness to our God.

Interesting, I've never heard of that name before.

 

[RoseofLima]

He is from outside the country, from a war torn nation. He came to America specifically to be a priest....

 

[Tonks]

This is simply awful. I will pray.

how sad.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

That says alot about you that he felt he could confide in you about this.

May Our Lord Jesus Christ give him the strength and courage he needs to live his life as a sacrifice, as the image of Our Lord, suffering under the burden of His own people
