Dear Father Corapi,
I've never thanked you for your inspiration to me and to my family. When you were in Omaha this past summer, I attended your conference with my Mother, her friend and my husband. You have been a great source of strength to us all.
I remember thinking as you spoke that there was something you weren't saying/couldn't say to the crowds. At the time I thought that perhaps you had been asked to avoid certain topics by our Archbishop, or by someone else in attendance.
I also wondered if you were avoiding certain topics because of the depth and vehemence of the attacks you were experiencing. I now think this latter musing is the truth.
Whether the accusations are true, which I doubt, or false, you are under attack by the Great Accuser. It strikes me as greater proof of how much we need you and your message. I feel the same about Father Eutenaur, who admitted his wrongdoing. The temptations and tests and trials of all good priests are something that I can only imagine. And in imagining, I shrink in fear.
I know it is not politically correct to defend the accused priests, or those who have strayed and admitted to wrong doing. Our priests deserve every bit of our prayers and support, especially when they are under attack. And the attacks are constant.
http://rantingcatholicmom.blogspot.com/2010/09/more-on-father-corapi.htmlYou really are in our prayers. May God bless and keep you close to His Sacred Heart. May the blessed Mother wrap you in her mantle.
Be strong. We will try to be strong for you.

I will continue to pray for Fr. Corapi and for his accuser. Thank you for writing this beautiful letter.
There's not enough time in the day if one were to consider all that needs prayer. Yet, think of the time that is wasted. Your words of encouragement are an inspiration to many. As for Fr. Corapi, trust in God's role when considering this cross. May Fr. Corapi, embrace this cross and carry it with humility...as we pray for his perserverance and an increase of Grace.
Thank you so much for this letter. I agree wholeheartedly and will pray for Father Corpai and everyone involved
Thank you for this beautiful letter. I and everyone in my family with pray for Father Corapi. May Mama Mary watch over our beloved priest.
