Pope Benedict XVI - on Priesthood

The priesthood: Gift and Mystery



"In Jesus, person and mission tend to coincide: all Christ’s saving activity was, and is, an expression
of his “filial consciousness” which from all eternity stands before the Father in an attitude of loving submission
to his will. In a humble yet genuine way, every priest must aim for a similar identification."
(Letter of Pope Benedict Proclaiming the Year for Priests, June 16, 2009)
