This article speaks about the traditional practices of the spiritual life which should be part of a priest's life
For many priests however, as the years go on, the spiritual life goes out
Bible, breviary, rosary, meditation, Blessed Sacrament etc gradually become less and less important, less and less common
Prayer becomes something done when you have to do it...at Mass, at a baptism, at a funeral etc....not something done everyday for its own sake
Jesus, please help priests keep alive the fire of their spiritual life
