Today on this Deacon Moment: words on an Archbishop... an Irish curmudgeon priest... and the late Holy Father John Paul II. Join [Deacon Tom](http://www.deacontomonline.com) in a tender moment about priests in this, the Year of the Priest.

October is the Month of the Rosary, but it’s also Respect Life Month, and [Sarah Reinhard](http://www.snoringscholar.com) encourages us to pray a rosary -- even if we’re no good at it -- for human life.
