42 30|         today the very enemies of God; a homage indeed to the
43 33|         priest a mediator between God and man; a mediator in the
44 33|           is "the one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ."
45 33|         more and more pleasing to God, by the sanctity of his
46 33|           of churches and altars, God loves and accepts holiness. "
47 33|        the intermediaries between God and His people," says St.
48 33|          a good conscience before God, and a good name among men."
49 34|         even in the Old Testament God commanded His priests and
50 34|       sheep and oxen, and praised God for the moral blessings;
51 35|          he can, less unworthy of God, to whom he daily offers
52 35|          Victim, the very Word of God incarnate for love of us.
53 35|     priest is also the almoner of God's graces of which the Sacraments
54 36|      obvious and, by the Grace of God, the most persuasive argument,
55 36|          they preach, the word of God, was yet administered publicly,
56 36|           other. On the contrary, God greatly blesses the labor
57 39|           priest's relations with God are so intimate, so delicate

59 39|    extended also to the Mother of God. The priest even more than
60 42|           of reason alone: since "God is a Spirit," it is only
61 42|        and consecrates himself to God's service should in some
62 42|         Law, Moses in the name of God commanded Aaron and his
63 43|           more fervent service of God, and gave the reason when

71 52|           the Heart of the Son of God? - a priest, we say, who
72 53|              53. But thanks be to God, it is just this flame of
73 53|       darkness, of the Kingdom of God against the kingdom of Satan. ~
74 55|        terrible to the enemies of God, ut castrorum aciem ordinatam, "

79 70|         himself to the service of God and the salvation of souls;
80 70|        shows that he is called by God to the priestly state. Whoever,
81 71| responsibility they assume before God, before the Church, and
82 76|       usual lucidity and wisdom: "God never abandons His Church;
83 78|                           78. Now God Himself liberally sows in
84 78|     nothing is more acceptable to God, of more honor to the church,

90 86|          providentially opened by God to His Church. Again now,
91 87|          to "stir up the grace of God." For he, too, is now indissolubly
92 87|         now indissolubly bound to God and the Church, and so nothing
93 87|           ministry." The grace of God, and specifically that grace
94 88|        enkindled with the love of God, as befits priests in times
95 88|          communicate this love of God like a holy fire to all
96 89|           the great task to which God calls you. You are the hope
97 89|          life-giving knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, in
98 89|        priests after the Heart of God. We assure you that in the
99 89|            that is, the family of God." ~
