Times Have Changed Since George Herbert... But

A Priest Is The God-bearer Or Christ-bearer, A Living Eucharist Of The Divine Presence, Bringing A Sympathetic Ear And A Compassionate Heart In Which People Find God's Consolation, Understanding And Love.

We Are To Introduce Our People Into The Life Of The Church, Which Is Salvation, That They May Grasp Its Meaning, Its Contents And Purpose, To Taste And See How Good The Lord Is.

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.

As Priests Uphold Their People In Prayer, So Their People Are To Uphold Them With Prayer And Love, For He Cannot Work Without His People.

Priesthood Is Forever And Does Not Cease When A Priest Cannot Carry Out That Priestly Ministry.
