I was a little overwhelmed on Saturday afternoon when I looked at my schedule for the coming week. I use iCal because I like to see the week in front of me on my MacBook. As I stared at the screen the week was filled with green, the color I use for all events and appointments related to my ministry. Yes, priests work the other six days of the week too!

When I speak to young people about my life as a priest, inevitably the question is posed: What do you do for fun? In other words, they want to know if I'm "normal."

My first assignment was at St. Philip's parish in Greenville, RI. St. Philip's is a vibrant parish comprised of about 3000 families with a large school to boot. It was a wonderful place for a new priest. One of the great blessings was ministering to the many youth in the parish. I remember one email exchange I had with a high school student who was very involved in our youth group. She took her faith seriously and she wanted to grow in her relationship with the Lord. Her email to me was simple: I want to spend more time in prayer and deepen my relationship with God, but I'm not quite sure how to pray. Can you give me advice?

12-Step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous have helped countless people around the world to win the battle over addiction. The 12 Step program, which is really a lived spirituality, helps people to see their Goliath, to name their Goliath, and, with God's help, to overcome their Goliath.
