“Priests receive many phone calls. Some people want to speak about a crisis they’re going through; others want information on how to get married; still others need copies of their sacrament certificates. When the phone rings late at night, however, the first thought that goes through a priest’s mind is, this must be an emergency. A good friend of mine who is a priest in another diocese told me about a phone call he received at 10:30 one evening. ‘Father,’ the man on the phone said, ‘the lotto is up to 30 million. Please pray that I win.’”
