"Who in fact is the priest, if not a man converted and renewed by the Spirit, who lives from a personal relationship with Christ, constantly making the Gospel criteria his own... Who is the priest, if not a man of unity and truth, aware of his own limits and at the same time, of the extraordinary greatness of the vocation he has received..."
- Pope Benedict XVI
 
 
In this presentation for parishes, communities, or priest workshops, we ponder the mystery of God's plan to work in and through the priesthood to sanctify the world.
 
We'll look at questions like...
 
+ How old is the priesthood? (You might be surprised!)
+ Why did God give us the sacraments, especially Holy Orders?
 
+ Why does the Church only ordain men to the priesthood?
 
+ Is there a "universal priesthood" for all men and women?
 
+ What's the real meaning of the Mass?
 
+ and the secret to saving the world!
   
       
“The reason why a priest is lax is that he does not pay attention to the Mass!
My God, how we ought to pity a priest who celebrates as if he were engaged
in something routine!” - St. John Vianney
