"A priest is one who makes Christ visible. The people see Christ in the saintly priests and they seek even to touch his robes as they did the robes of Christ.

The sure measure by which a priest draws souls to Christ is also the means by which he can drive souls from Christ." ~ Ven. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen #Saints #Quotes
