The Joy of Priesthood

the long version

Fr. Rosetti spent much of his life working with troubled priests and religious. He saw a wide array of personalities and behaviors and he brings that all to bear in this book. It is addressed primarily to priests, but is useful for anyone that wants an idea of some of the struggles priests face in their daily lives. Fr. Rosetti does three things; he points out challenges in the current cultural climate that need to be addressed, he points out areas of a priests' personal life that need to be addressed, but most importantly he speaks of the joy and gratitude with which the priestly life must be lived.
