Read and be inspired. Become a spiritual mother today!
I have many spiritual mothers. Without them, I am less than nothing. With them, I am a priest for the greater honor and glory of God.



Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






Although I am not *formally* a spiritual mother, I’ve been known to pray for priests….a lot.
Father, I was wondering if you could ask the readers to keep the priests of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in their prayers. They are having a convocation from May 14-16 and then we have 6 men being ordained to the Sacred Priesthood on Saturday the 19th. It’s a rough time to be a Catholic in Philly and we could use all the help we can get! Thank you!
Hello JMD! — “a lot”
Formally, you’re a spiritual mother of priests!
Will do. I’ll write up a post and schedule it for early 14 May.
Thanks for praying for the likes of us priests. Not easy praying, that!
