Christ the Great High Priest
The Holy Father explained "The aim of this Year for Priests is to support each priest's struggle towards spiritual perfection, 'upon which the effectiveness of his ministry particularly depends', and to help priests, and with them the entire People of God, to rediscover and revive an awareness of the extraordinary and indispensable gift of Grace which the ordained ministry represents, for the person who receives it, for the entire Church, and for the world which would be lost without the real presence of Christ". For this, he invited the faithful to pray "that the Lord inflame the heart of each priest" with the love of Jesus.
Let's pray for all priests for their "spiritual perfection". We remember especially those we came across in our past 25 years.
