"St. Ephrem says that the gift of the sacerdotal dignity surpasses all understanding. For us it is enough to know, that Jesus Christ has said that we should treat his priests as we would his own person." ~ St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori #Saints #Quotes

"It will not suffice to declare that we are "friends" of Christ, boasting of false merits: 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets' (Lk 13: 26). True friendship with Jesus is expressed in the way of life: it is expressed with goodness of heart, with humility, meekness and mercy, love for justice and truth, a sincere and honest commitment to peace and reconciliation." ~ Pope Benedict XVI #Saints #Quotes

"O Priest, who are you?
You are not yourself because you are God.
You are not of yourself because you are the servant and minister of Christ.
You are not your own because you are the spouse of the Church.
You are not yourself because you are the mediator between God and man.
You are not from yourself because you are nothing.
What then are you?
Nothing and everything.
O Priest! Take care lest what was said to Christ on the cross be said to you:
'He saved others, himself he can

"No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the [dispenser] of My mercy." ~ Jesus to St. Faustina (570) #Saints #Quotes #DivineMercySunday

"[The priest] does not preach a Christianity a la carte, according to his own tastes, preaching a Gospel according to his own preferred ideas, according to his own theological ideas. He does not exempt himself from proclaiming the whole will of God, also the uncomfortable will, also topics that personally do not please him so much." ~ Pope Benedict XVI #Saints #Quotes

"Saint Bernard tells us that everything has come to us through Mary; and we may also say that everything has come to us through the priest; yes, all happiness, all graces, all heavenly gifts. If we had not the Sacrament of Orders, we should not have Our Lord. Who placed Him there, in that tabernacle? It was the priest." ~ St. John Marie Vianney #Saints #Quotes #Priesthood

“Something strange is happening - there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear.” ~ St. Melito of Sardis #Saints #Quotes #HolySaturday

"The washing of the feet and the sacrament of the Eucharist: two expressions of one and the same mystery of love entrusted to the disciples, so that, Jesus says, “as I have done… so also must you do” (Jn 13: 15)." ~ Pope St. John Paul II #Saints #Quotes

"In order to hold on firmly to your faith, you must choose the Road of Hope followed by the disciples of Christ and not the road to death offered by the world. Many people today repeatedly assert, 'I'." ~ Cardinal Francis Xavier N. Van Thuan #Saints #Quotes

"Let everyone know and hold for certain that we cannot be saved except through the sacred Words and the Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which priests preach, announce, and distribute, and of which they are the sole ministers." ~ St. Francis of Assisi #Saints #Quotes
