**The entire Church cannot give to God as much honor, nor obtain so many graces, as a single priest by celebrating a single Mass; for the greatest honor that the whole Church without priests could give to God would consist in offering to Him in sacrifice the lives of all men.**
Priesthood Ping!

My parish pastor’s birthday was yesterday’s as well. Shares it (living) with this saint’s birthday in Heaven.

The Jesuits would disagree. They believe that the priest’s duties are to liberate those oppressed by American capitalism and to dismantle the Medieval hierarchy of the Church.
And to look cool doing it.
