Taught this prayer as a boy by his grandfather, James Dressler recites it each time he's tempted by earthly desires. Originally drawn to the priesthood by the mystery, purity, and sensual fabric of the Church, as well as by its promise of a safe harbor from his tempestuous home, James nevertheless finds himself, just a few years after his ordination, living at home, saying Mass for his mother at the dining room table, avoiding his pugilistic father, playing basketball; preparing to officiate at his brother's wedding, and becoming attracted again to his first love, Betty García.
