[Sundaycommunity] Christmas 2020 from Fr. Paul

[Brian Shaughnessy]

Thanks, Paul, for your Christmas message.

Here is something from among the Christmas readings about the great mission
of priests.
________

Respect for a priest is always a sign of a Christian education.

They consecrate and hand out the True Bread that descends from Heaven.  And
that contact makes them holy, even if they are not totally holy.  You must
consider them as such and not worry about anything else.  You must not be
more strict than your Lord Jesus Who at their command leaves Heaven and
descends to be raised by their hands.  You must learn from Him.

Call Jesus that He may strengthen them.  Call Him with your prayers and
your suffering.

To save a soul is to predestine one's own soul to Heaven.  But to save the
soul of a priest is to save a large number of souls, because every holy
priest is a net that drags souls to God.  And to save a priest is to
sanctify and re-sanctify.  It is to create this mystical net.
