Unmasked. Who are you? Do you even know? The first time I ever really prayed I remember hearing my real voice for the first time. It wasn't strong, confident, smart, or funny. It was just...me. God loves you as you truly are, with no fig leaves, masks, foolish pride or silly games. Set down the weapons. Make it real. Only the love of God, the vulnerable, undecorated, unpolished love that sees into your inmost self and loves you as you truly are. Prayer is simply letting him in. Being real. Watching walk through your walls and reveal the greatest truth about you: YOU ARE LOVEABLE. Not for who you think you should be. Not that body that you think you should have. Not that charming perfect thing you'd like to be - just...you...

This. What encouragement of priests looks like. Got in the mail from a person who is always building me up as a priest. By lifting up someone who lifts up thousands you have lifted us all up. #GodRewardYou #PrayForPriests
