“Whatever was not planned by me, was planned by God.” — St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
My greatest fear as a kid was public speaking…my grades school days were filled with many terrible experiences of humiliation and anxiety. So this was my fear going into the priesthood…and sure enough God sent me down a path to conquer and overcome this fear with appearances on MSNBC and ABC News during the priest crisis and so many other opportunities to practice and grow along the way. God certainly chooses the weak and makes them strong!
