The Church has begun the Year of the Priest. At Priests for Life, we focus on how priests are, by definition, heralds of the Gospel of Life. By saying mass, the priest brings us the victory of life over death. He carries out his ministry in the person of Christ, who is the Resurrection and the Life. The priest teaches the way of life that gives priority to the poor and vulnerable – and none are more vulnerable than the unborn. The priest is called to mobilize and lead the faithful to work to build the Culture of Life. In the sacrament of Penance, the priest heals the wounds of the culture of death. Priests need our prayers and encouragement each day. Assure them that they have yours, so they can be strong and faithful.

It’s not quite the same type of community as a message board, but it is similar. Since I don’t have the time to be a contributing member of a message board, besides lurking on a few very good ones, occasionally leaving comments allows me to feel like part of a community and/or participate in brief debate with possibly similarly minded people.
