You need to make time for other things - and they include sleep, relaxation and fun! There's plenty of other distractions out there for us lot and I'm sure all your readers appreciate that there's only ever the same number of hours in the day whether you're a Seminarian, Deacon, Priest, Bishop, Cardinal or Pope!
