pax Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Thou Art a Priest Forever J.B. Henri Lacordaire, OP To live in the midst of the world with no desire for its pleasure... To be a member of every family yet belonging to none... To share all sufferings; to penetrate all secrets; to heal all wounds... To daily go from men to God to offer Him their petitions... To return from God to men to offer them His hope... To have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity... To bless and be blest forever. O God, what a life, and it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ!
