Year for Priests

YEAR FOR PRIESTS

Faithfulness of Christ, faithfulness of priests

“I have come to Carmel to save souls and especially to pray for priests.”

“I could not forget to pray for simple priests whose mission at times is as difficult to carry out as that of apostles preaching to pagans.”

“I think of all the good I would like to do after my death: have little children baptized, help priests, missionaries, the whole Church.”

“The only purpose of our life of prayer and sacrifice is to be apostles of the apostles while we pray for them as they go about preaching the Gospel by word but especially by example.”
