How to Help
Letter to Opus Bono Sacerdotii:
A huge thanks to you for the superlative job you did for Father’s defense. The full measure in which you both threw yourselves into your work to spare him a life of woe and depression is far beyond the demands of any job. I know that you also did what you did out of your love for the Church, our dear Mother who is suffering so much grief these days. Gratefully, and in the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Father Eduard Perrone
Step 1
First and foremost, donate to Opus Bono Sacerdotii. If you want your emergency money to help a particular priest,
contact joemaher(at)opusbono(dot)org
Step 2
To counteract the extensive harm done to priests by the current media hysteria, please:
- promote this resource site in all your social media outlets (see icons at the bottom of the page)
- link to us in your blog
- copy/paste posts into your blog giving proper attribution to the original authors
- Stay updated by RSS or email (see bottom of page)
Then when your friends know of a priest in dire need of help, he or she could immediately plug him into a network of emergency resources.
Step 3
Pray the Rosary for the success of this apostolate.
It may seem that evil has the upper hand right now, but it’s no match for the intercession of Our Lady. (read about Bl. Bartolo Longo)
Step 4
Form the proper perspective during this unholy mess. Read From Scandal to Hope by Fr. Benedict Groeschel or listen to his original talk An Urgent Appeal found in this post
“Indeed too without your fraternal affection and prayer, my Brothers and that of so many of the Laity, I might well let go of the hand of the Mother of Priests and then truly would fall – from grace, probably, from life off a bridge or some such possibly, for we all know this is too much, way too much suffering for any person – but NOT too much for Him and He is our faith, HE is our trust, HE is our courage and HE is the reason for our ad sum!, spoken not some yesterday of ordination but in the now of every moment in Him, which is always the graced moment of beginning again!”
~ Fr. Arthur Joseph, Living in the Catholic Gitmo
