His bishop calls him a unique priest with a touch of Mother Teresa in him. Many of the people whose lives he has touched call him a saint. For Father Theodore G. Tempel, What would Jesus do? is more than a guideline; it is a way of life. His ministry to the many took him past the traditional washing of feet to the cleaning of bedpans. For 13 years he stayed at night in the home of an elderly widow, cooked and cared for her so that would not have to be placed in a nursing home. He took into his rectory home a woman who had spent much of her life in an iron lung, and mobilized an army of volunteers to help him with her care. He saved a depressed young woman from suicide and gave new meaning to her life when she joined his helping hands network. He became a mentor for an illiterate man who had spent several years in a state institution where he did not belong, and 30 years later they are best friends. These are but a few of the inspiring stories in The Holy Tempel: The Extraordinary Ministry of Father Ted Tempel.
