On the priesthood

[Lorenzo]

“The priest continues the work of redemption on earth. . . . If we really understood the priest on earth, we would die not of fright but of love. . . . The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.“

- St. John Vianney "Cure of Ars".

[Lorenzo]

"You are becoming priests at a time when, also here in Rome, strong cultural tendencies seem to want to make one forget God, especially among young people and families. But do not be afraid: God will always be with you! With his help you will be able to walk on the ways that lead to the heart of every man and to proclaim to them that the Good Shepherd has given his life for him and wishes him to participate in his mystery of love and salvation“

- John Paul II.
