A priest forever...

“A priest who says the Mass in this way – adoring,

atoning, pleading, giving thanks, identifying himself

with Christ – and who teaches others to make the

Sacrifice of the altar the centre and root of the

Christian life really will show the incomparable value

of his vocation, the value of that character which

he has been stamped and which he will never lose. … 

And when the moment comes for them to enter

God’s presence, Jesus will go out to meet them. 

He will glorify forever those who have acted on earth

in His Person and in His Name.  He will shower them

with that grace of which they have been ministers.”

St. Josemaría Escrivá

  "The Eucharist is the principal reason for the ordained priesthood... through our ordination we priests are united in a singular exceptional way

to the Eucharist.  In a certain way we derive from it and exist for it...

The celebration of the Eucharist is the way that we best serve our brothers

and sisters in the world...How crucial it is, then, for our happiness

and for a fruitful ministry that we cultivate a deep love for the Eucharist -

a deep love for the Eucharist."

 Pope Bl John Paul II
