Peterson One of the many quiet joys the priesthood has brought me is the access to people’s lives given to me out of their in- nate trust and love. In particular, we priests have the privilege of watching sons and daughters in families grow and ma- ture, marry and have children of their own. Shortly before this pandemic changed our lives, I was in the company of a faith-filled couple I first met as students when I was a college chaplain.
