PRIEST
by: Fr. Henri Lacordaire OP
To live in the midst of the world
without desiring its pleasures;
To be a member of each family,
yet belonging to none;
To share all sufferings;
to penetrate all secrets;
To heal all wounds;
to go from men to God
and offer Him their prayers;
To return from God to men
to bring pardon, peace and hope;
To have a heart fire for Charity,
and a heart of bronze for Chastity
To teach and to pardon,
console and bless always.
My God, what a life;
and it is yours,
O priest of Jesus Christ.
O priest of Jesus Christ.
HAPPY PRIESTS' DAY!
August 4 - Feast of St. John Mary Vianney
Patron Saint of Priests
