Welcome to the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration of Our Lady of Solitude YEAR for PRIESTS PAGE!

What's NEW?

fr. mariusz

IIn the links to the left you will find a plethora of information, prayers, and resources to help you to zealously live the YEAR FOR PRIESTS!

Not only will you be living the YEAR FOR PRIESTS, but you will be doing so in union with us - as we strive to live our our charism of praying for priests and exercising our spiritual maternity of priests.

Each Sister will be adding her own 'creative touch' to the site - as we willbe taking turns writing the monthly reflections. So keep an eye on that page in particular!

Also, we will be adding stories of Priest saints to our blog on a regular basis. Be sure to keep an eye on it: http://desertnuns.blogspot.com/

If you have suggestions or know of a priest in need of prayer, please email us at desertnuns@msn.com

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
