Year for Priests - Thoughts for this week

YEAR FOR PRIESTS

Faithfulness of Christ, faithfulness of priests

"Every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God" (Heb. 5:1).

The Letter to the Hebrews clearly affirms the "human character" of God's minister [the priest] he comes from the human community and is at its service, imitating Jesus Christ "who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:1)”
