THREAD/ESSAY: ASHITAKA THE PRIEST I’ve been a Catholic priest for just over 5 years now, and the last few times I’ve watched Princess Mononoke, I’ve been struck by the similarities between Ashitaka’s role and the role of the priest. Would love to hear any thoughts this sparks!

Nurse who called us @ 3am this morning: “We have a man in the ICU who is dying. His family is asking for someone to come and read him his last rites.” Got up, got dressed, jumped in the car, and crossed my fingers that they were requesting a priest and not a police officer. 😬

Young couple with baby & 5yr(?)old daughter began coming to Mass lately. They don’t receive but they send their daughter in Communion line to receive a blessing. She doesn’t know what to do when she gets to me so she 1) BOWS, 2) WAVES HER HANDS AROUND, 3) SALUTES, 4) MOVES ALONG.

RANT One of the most challenging and repugnant fundamentals of following Jesus is that, no matter how people try to contort it, Jesus simply wasn’t a political revolutionary. It’s one of the things that distinguished Him from many of the false messiah figures of His time. (1/17)

In high school, I asked Fr. Charles, “What if I mess up God’s plan for my life?” FrC: “Oh, you already have.” 😳 “Like, tons of times.” 🙀 “But here’s the thing: God has a plan for us, and we mess it up, and then He comes up with a more awesome one. Over and over again.”

Man I visited in ICU tonight, a non-practicing Episcopalian, was very distraught bc he was unsure if, after death, he can be in heaven with his wife, who was Catholic. I explained to him how baptism works, prayed with him & blessed him. He seemed to have great peace when I left.

I’ve seen it again and again since I became a seminarian - a bizarre fixation on “protecting reputations” in the Church. The best way to uphold a reputation is to not do things that would destroy it. I’ll never understand why this concern so often rises to the top.

What always bugs me about overemphasis on spiritual warfare, deliverance prayers, famtree whatever, is it tends to view prayer like good counter-spells you need to say against bad spells, commanding angels & saints to protect you. It falls into the very trap it’s trying to avoid.
