God is holy; that holiness comes to earth in
Christ. He bestows it on his priests
with their cooperation; they, in the measure in which they accept, contribute
to making the people holy. The people do
not give the priest the special powers to sanctify which he possesses. It is our Lord who gave these powers, and He
gave them to enable the priest to make the people holy.
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
