Father Dan Reehil

Well, for me, the day gets away from me pretty quickly as it goes on.

The sun goes up and anything can happen, you know.

Somebody could be dying.

It happens quite often.

We have a hospital in Columbia.

So all the surrounding areas, maybe 30 miles out, especially going south, their people go there.

And at least once or twice a week, somebody's dying and needs me to go right away to give them the last rites.

I don't do exorcism on demand, but I will meet with somebody if they're suffering, at least try to relieve some of the suffering before I get them on a spiritual regimen.

And that could just, they show up at the church randomly.

You never know when they're gonna show up.

And then there's spiritual direction appointments day in and day out and all sorts of other things.

So my morning, when I say protected, I go over to the church at 5.30, get up at 4.20, get over there by 5.30.

And then I have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament until...

8 o'clock.

The last half hour, I have confessions.

We do benediction.

Then we have mass.

And then I go on radio at 9, and that's till 9.30.

And, you know, so the morning is set.

And usually, nobody disrupts that prayer time in the morning.
