As Priests Uphold Their People In Prayer,

The Evil Of The Church Is The Doing Of Church Work In A Spirit Of Business, Something To Be Got Through. The Only Way To Avoid This Is For The Priest To Be Instant In Prayer. If He Is Not, He Will Lose That Touch Of The Supernatural, Without Which He Has No Right To Be A Priest At All.

There Is A Kind Of Thinking In The Church That Wants To Reduce The Priest To A Mere Functionary, A Managing Director, Where Administration Rather Than Doctrine And Worship Are To Determine The Form Of The Church.

The Church's Note Must Be A Supernatural Note Which Distinguishes Incarnation From Immanence, Redemption From Evolution, The Kingdom Of God From Mere Spiritual Process.

The Priest Comes. . Not As An Obscurantist, But Wearing The Intelligible Vestments Of Living Faith, Divine But Positive, Ministering In Word And Sacrament That Which Is Humanity's Hope And Salvation, The Divine Energy In Which He Lives With Christ In The Father Through The Holy Spirit, Identified But Not Accommodated To The World Christ Seeks To Save.

In The Eucharist, Priest And People Together Come To Concelebrate. Here The Ladder Jacob Saw Only As A Dream Becomes For Us A Reality, The Medicine That Cures Our Souls.
