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
