6. Priesthood: The emergence of religion in different societies also called into existence a select group of people who officiate and intercede for the people and become their mediators with the divine. Such cultic personifications of humans existed in ancient societies like ancient Egyptian society, ancient Greek, ancient Roman, ancient Igbo socie...
11. The etymology of the term priest is rooted in the Greek word “Presbyteros” ( Which means elder, local community leader or City father), which refers to a person of experience, mature age and of importance in the society. In the biblical context, the functions of the elders included guarding the flock against false teachings that may erupt withi...
Priests do not fall from the sky. They are called by God who chooses them from among other humans among whom they must live and work and towards whom they must be close as bridges between God and man. Every priest has a personal history coming from his family background, schools, circumstances and environment. These are often with riches and wounds...
The Catholic tradition has always understood the priest to be another Christ (Alter Christus), a living and transparent “image of Christ”, “an extension of Christ” the high priest, the priesthood becomes meaningful only in this way becomes meaningful only in this way when he strives to exemplify and mirror the virtues of Christ in his daily life. I...
The Priest like all the baptized participates in the “universal call to holiness” recognized and articulated at the Second Vatican Council. In addition, the priest, at his ordination publicly states his resolution to consecrate his life to God and unite himself more closely every day to Christ the High Priest who sacrificed himself for the salvatio...
By the nature of his calling the priest willingly accepts to live a virtuous life. By the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, the priest is called and he freely embraces a life of total commitment to the evangelical counsels. The obedience of the priest reveals the obedience of Jesus to his heavenly father and unites the priest to the ministr...
Having seen the various images of a priest, his nature and identity, let us attempt a summary by answering the question who then is a priest in the Catholic tradition. The priesthood is a mystery. It is a paradox. It is an exalted position to serve in persona Christi. It is the greatest privilege given to the human being; the greatest call beca...
The entire rite of priestly ordination is an initiation into the life of sacrifice. The election of the candidate is like a free and joyful declaration by the candidate who says to the Lord, here I am send me. Do with me as you please. The promise of obedience: With this act the candidate renounces the use of his free will seeking to follow the...
The prayer of Consecration and the preface to the Eucharistic prayer both emphasize sacrifice as the soul of the priestly life. The same life of sacrifice is recommended to the newly ordained priest when he is handed over the chalice with the host being advised to translate and mirror in his personal life the mystery of the Lord’s cross which he ce...
The entire life and ministry of a priest can only be meaningful when lived as a happy sacrifice. The life of the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience together with prayer and charity summarize the life of a priest. 40. Evangelical Poverty is a great step to receive and accept the providence of God. Every priest ought to appreciat...
The priestly life and ministry can be summarized in the life of Prayer and Charity. During his ordination the candidate pledges not only to pray daily for the Church but for the entire world. Prayer is therefore not an optional duty for the priest. He prays regularly to be connected to God from whom he draws his strength but he makes the extra sacr...
53. The modern era presents a lot of challenges to the priests as well as to the Church at large. The priest remains as we have seen a paradox of exaltation and humility on account of his configuration to Christ whose mission he does. It is thus not surprising that in many ways the priesthood remains a sign of contradiction which defies understandi...
Prayer for Priests by St. Therese of Lisieux. Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your Precious Blood.
