After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. -The 4th Luminous Mystery

retired priests


Question from catholic on 2/22/2008:  
Hello Father, What are the required duties of retired priests who are living in a parish rectory with another active priest? Are retired priests obligated to perform masses a few times a week? We have a retired priest living in our parish with our active priest, but it seems he's been doing more of the masses than our active parish priest. Is this allowed for him to do more masses than our own priest does in one week? Catholic
Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 2/24/2008: 
Catholic, A retired priest is relativey free to continue his priestly duties as he is able. Some are ill and can do little; others are well and very active. Priests work details out by themselves in service to the faithful. Fr. Bob Levis
