TO LIVE IN THE MIDST OF THE WORLD WITH NO DESIRE FOR ITS PLEASURE…
TO BE A MEMBER OF EVERY FAMILY YET BELONGING TO NONE…
TO SHARE ALL SUFFERINGS; TO PENETRATE ALL SECRETS; TO HEAL ALL WOUNDS…
TO DAILY GO FROM MEN TO GOD TO OFFER HIM THEIR PETITIONS…
TO RETURN FROM GOD TO MEN TO OFFER THEM HOPE…
TO HAVE A HEART OF FIRE FOR CHARITY AND A HEART OF BRONZE FOR CHASTITY…
TO BLESS AND BE BLESSED FOREVER.
O GOD, WHAT A LIFE, AND IT IS YOURS, O PRIEST OF JESUS CHRIST!

what a life indeed. the priesthood is a sign of contradiction because Christ who instituted it and he himself a priest is a sign of contradiction. we must recognise this fact of our call and work together for the common good. our ministry is a collaborative one and if we fail to collaborate, we will cause scandal in our generation. Happy Birthday to all priests on this Holy Thursday, 2010.
