Thou Art a Priest Forever.
To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasures; to be a member of a family, yet belonging to none; to share all suffering; 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 and hope, to have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity, to teach and to pardon, console and bless always.
What a glorious life and it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ.
…Lacordaire
