"O priest, I need you to
glorify the Father... Give me the Son and He will be enough! ... Priests are the arms of the Church, always raised to
sacrifice and offer; and the entire Church must unceasingly be united with them
and offer sacrifice through their consecrated hands...
The union at the
altar, the union with the Sacrifice, this identification of an entire
life with the Lord's ministers so that they might celebrate more worthily, is
pure Christianity. It is a sublime calling—to help
priests, to dedicate oneself for them. ....
I send my Good Angel to
assist all priests at the holy Altar. I send him to place my soul on every paten, to be offered there with
Jesus Christ sacrificed."
Excerpts from writings of August 14,
1872...
Bl. Marie de Jésus Deluil-Martiny (1884+)
