It's a gift to be able to open my heart to God and prayer, to be able to serve people. Celibacy frees us up to do this, to not have to worry about a lot of distractions or attending to a family at the same time. The love of my life is the church and Christ. This is a commitment not only to them, but also to the people. I think celibacy really shows Catholics how devoted their priests are.  -   Richard O'Donnell     Quotes
