  3 7 |          cupidity and sensuality; the priest contributes more effectively
  4 7 |           should aspire. Finally, the priest is the most valorous leader
  5 9 |              of Divine Revelation the priest is seen invested with a
  6 9 |               figure of Melchisedech, Priest and King, whom St. Paul
  7 10|                               10. The priest, according to the magnificent
  8 11|             sacred figure of its High Priest moved the conqueror Alexander
  9 12|            the mysteries of God." The priest is the minister of Christ,
 10 12| transformation in the world. Thus the priest, as is said with good reason,
 11 12|           send you," is spoken to the priest, and hence the priest, like
 12 12|             the priest, and hence the priest, like Christ, continues
 13 13|                showing Himself made a priest forever according to the
 14 16|      ineffable greatness of the human priest stands forth in all its
 15 17|              real Body of Christ, the priest has received other powers,
 16 17|           they are the members. Now a priest is the appointed "dispenser
 17 17|         career, finds at his side the priest with power received from
 18 18|        Scarcely is he born before the priest baptizing him, brings him
 19 18|               in spiritual combats, a priest invested with special dignity
 20 18|              the Bread of Angels, the priest gives It to him, the living
 21 18|               Heaven. If he fall, the priest raises him up again in the
 22 18|              the elect in Heaven, the priest is there to bless his espousals
 23 18|              of the Divine Judge, the priest with the holy oils anoints
 24 19|                          19. Thus the priest accompanies the Christian
 25 19|               cradle to the grave the priest is ever beside the faithful,
 26 20|               all these powers of the priest over the Mystical Body of
 27 21|              he hears the word of the priest who says to him in God's
 28 21|               absolution from another priest. This does not debase the
 29 21|       spiritual things: ". . . when a priest, groaning in spirit at his
 30 22|         powers are conferred upon the priest in a special Sacrament designed
 31 22|           passing or temporary in the priest, but are stable and perpetual,
 32 22|            soul whereby he becomes "a priest forever"; whereby he becomes
 33 22|             frailty, is possible to a priest, can never blot out from
 34 22|       character and these powers, the priest through the Sacrament of
 35 23|                      23. The Catholic priest is minister of Christ and
 36 24|           rise again. The word of the priest enters the soul and brings
 37 24|               power; the voice of the priest rises calmly above the storms
 38 25|           truths themselves which the priest if faithful to his ministry,
 39 25|            plain the influence of the priest, and how strong and beneficent
 40 25|               and similar lessons the priest teaches; a teaching fitted
 41 26|               good of the word of the priest. Being the faithful echo
 42 28|                      28. Finally, the priest, in another way, follows
 43 28|            for us"; and like Him, the priest, is public and official
 44 29|            trust to the prayer of the priest. To it the unfortunate of
 45 29|             on earth. Truly does the "priest occupy a place midway between
 46 32|              hinder the efficacy of a priest's ministry. For the unworthiness
 47 33|       holiness in him who holds it. A priest should have a loftiness
 48 33|               We have said, makes the priest a mediator between God and
 49 33|            the man Jesus Christ." The priest must, therefore, approach
 50 35|             in a special way that the priest, by a holy and spotless
 51 35|              consecrated priests. The priest is also the almoner of God'
 52 36|                     36. Moreover, the priest must teach the truths of
 53 36|               louder than words." The priest must preach the law of the
 54 37|               many dangers should the priest, carried away by false zeal,
 55 38|             much more then should the priest consider these words of
 56 38|            good works." And since the priest is an ambassador for Christ,
 57 39|           flourish in the soul of the priest. Yet there are some virtues
 58 39|              attach themselves to the priest as most befitting and necessary
 59 39|           unto godliness." Indeed the priest's relations with God are
 60 39|             to the Mother of God. The priest even more than the faithful
 61 39|               for the relation of the priest to Christ is more deeply
 62 40|               the piety of a Catholic priest without being drawn on to
 63 44|              to the orders of deacon, priest, bishop or subdeacon; but
 64 44|              It is not enough for the priest and the name of the priesthood,
 65 44|              Chrysostom affirms: "The priest must be so pure that, if
 66 45|               all but angelic life? A priest is one who should be totally
 67 45|             conversation in Heaven? A priest's charge is to be solicitous
 68 48|            his chastity, the Catholic priest ought to be distinguished
 69 49|            title "cleric" declares, a priest must expect no other recompense
 70 49|          great in Heaven." Woe to the priest who, forgetful of these
 71 49|               Jesus Christ's." Such a priest, besides failing in his
 72 49|        expounded by Christ, which the priest is bound to teach: "Lay
 73 49|            incite to any crime; and a priest who is poisoned by this
 74 50|         sincere disinterestedness the priest can hope to win the hearts
 75 50|               of every kind. Thus the priest becomes a veritable father
 76 51|                 51. Thus the Catholic priest is freed from the bonds
 77 51|            Scripture, the zeal of the priest for the glory of God and
 78 52|               the harvest." How can a priest meditate upon these words
 79 52|              for centuries. How can a priest see such multitudes and
 80 52|          Heart of the Son of God? - a priest, we say, who is conscious
 81 56|                   56. The divine High Priest wished us to have abundant
 82 57|              portrait of the Catholic priest which we intend to exhibit
 83 57|              of him; for the Catholic priest is set up as a "Master in
 84 57|           knowledge? "The lips of the priest shall keep knowledge, and
 85 57|             of priesthood to Me." The priest should have full grasp of
 86 57|    contemporaries. This ignorance the priest must dispel. Never was more
 87 57|         condemned unheard." It is the priest's task to clear away from
 88 57|          eager for the truth, and the priest should be able to point
 89 57|         distressed by doubts, and the priest should inspire courage and
 90 57|               and persistent, and the priest should know how to meet
 91 58|              it is necessary that the priest, even among the absorbing
 92 58|          ecclesiastical learning. The priest must be graced by no less
 93 63|             edification, need for the priest to spread on all sides,
 94 63|               naturally look upon the priest not merely as a guide, but
 95 65|             so too, the future of the priest depends on the training
 96 67|               essential to the future priest. It will help him to a thorough
 97 76|      reaffirmed that one well trained priest is worth more than many
 98 78|               precious gift of a holy priest. If he who offers even a
 99 78|             the pure hands of a young priest the sacred chalice, in which
100 85|             endowment of the Catholic priest. Without it other gifts
101 85|            other gifts be meager, the priest can work marvels. We have
102 91|           Christ, Supreme and Eternal Priest." It is Our pleasure and
