"It is necessary to know that one is lost in order to want to be saved." —Madeleine Delbrêl from the book, The Holiness of Ordinary People

Do We Treasure Our Priests As We Ought?



Were we to fully realize what a priest is on earth, we would die: not of fright but of love…Without the priest, the passion and death of our Lord would be of no avail. It is the priest who continues the work of redemption on earth…What use would be a house filled with gold, were there no one to open its door? The priest holds the key to the treasures of heaven: it is he who opens the door; he is the steward of the good Lord; the administrator of His goods.

 St. John Marie Vianney
