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. - Servant of God Catherine Doherty
