"Let us live for souls, let us be apostles, let us save above all the souls of priests.
Let us pray and suffer for them and on the last day Jesus will be grateful."

| Below is a calendar for the YEAR FOR PRIESTS which includes the names of all the priests and seminarians of the Diocese of Phoenix, as well as many of our priest friends and Religious Order priests. Please join us in praying for each of these individuals on the appointed day.

A priest is a lover of God.
A priest is a lover of men.
A priest is a holy man. A priest understands all things.
A priest forgives all things.
A priest encompasses all things.
The heart of a priest is pierced, like Christ's,
with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ's,
for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion.
The heart of a priest is a chalice of love.
The heart of a priest is the trysting place
of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ;
a priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself
so that he too may be lifted up
and draw all things to Christ.
A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is the gift of God to man
and of man to God. A priest is the symbol of the Word made flesh.
A priest is the naked sword of God's justice.
A priest is the hand of God's mercy.
A priest is the reflection of God's love. Nothing can be greater in this world than a priest,
nothing but God himself.
