2 Priests

 He was in need of retreat.

Life piled on and he needed to sort it out.  He needed to listen to God.

He sought refuge for a brief time.

The Retreat House had been that before.

The staff were loving and welcoming as well as accommodating on a previous journey.

This time, they were the same.  They even welcomed him with a steak dinner!

The problem was the priest who had become the director.

He was gone when the man had arrived.

When he returned, he interrogated the needful visitor.  His manner was accusing and acerbic, not what someone needing retreat required.  

Father A had been there on the visitor's first quest.  He disapproved of the fraternization between the staff and the visitor.  He was rebuffed by the staff.

Now he sought revenge.

The visitor was summarily kicked out.  No retreat for him.

Aghast, the visitor paid a call on Father B.  He was senior pastor at a church which served the inner city.  His associate Father C had been a campus pastor when the visitor was serving the same at a nearby church.

Father B welcomed the visitor as a pilgrim and had him shown to one of the vacant rooms at the nun's apartment.

There was no question.  

One priest was, to be frank, unChristian.

The other was diametrically opposite and served the Lord, not himself.

A tale of 2 priests.
