Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., and Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York tackle everything from vocations to the priesthood to orthodoxy in the Church to Twinkies in purgatory during a June 21 interview on Sunday Night Live, Father Benedict's weekly show on EWTN. (An encore performance will air Saturday at 5 p.m.)
In the informal and chatty interview, which includes lots of laughter, Archbishop Dolan talks about the need for people to see joy in their priests and about the importance of the Year of the Priest, which began last week. It's a great interview and worth your time. There are some wonderful moments where the archbishop usurps the role of interviewer and gets Father Benedict to talk about his own vocation. Click HERE to see the show, although the last two minutes are cut off for some reason. That means you'll miss the line about Hostess Twinkies. Is that enough to get you to tune in on Saturday? I should think so.

EWTN provides most of their evening shows as podcasts to be downloaded free of charge within a few days of airing. I have downloaded the Sunday Night Live with the archbishop, but haven't listened yet. You may also find past episodes in their audio library. It is a tremendous great source, Praise GOD!
During this year of/for Priests, many may like to pray this for them, daily if possible. I learned it from a prayer book some years ago, perhaps it is in the Pieta booklet.
KEEP THEM I PRAY THEE DEAREST LORD;
KEEP THEM, FOR THEY ARE THINE:
THY PRIESTS WHOSE LIVES BURN OUT
BEFORE THY CONSECRATED SHRINE.
KEEP THEM FOR THEY ARE IN THE WORLD
THOUGH FROM THE WORLD APART;
WHEN EARTHLY PLEASURES TEMPT, ALLURE,
SHELTER THEM IN THY HEART.
KEEP THEM AND COMFORT THEM
IN TIMES OF LONELINESS AND PAIN,
WHEN ALL THEIR LIVES OF SACRIFICE
FOR SOULS, SEEMS BUT IN VAIN.
KEEP THEM AND REMEMBER LORD
THEY HAVE NO ONE BUT THEE,
YET THEY HAVE ONLY HUMAN HEARTS
WITH HUMAN FRAILITIES.
KEEP THEM AS SPOTLESS AS THE HOST
THAT DAILY THEY CARRESS.
THEIR EVERY THOUGHT AND WORD AND DEED,
DEIGN DEAREST LORD TO BLESS.
God bless our priests, Amen.
'Cepta.
