Priesthood

The priest is above all a man of prayer. As an ordained representative of Christ, the priest's most important prayer is to represent the sacrifice of Jesus during Holy Mass.

His parish relies on him to offer a sacrifice "holy and acceptable to God." Throughout the week, too, at parish meetings and community functions, he is often asked: "Father, will you lead us in prayer?" He is seen as a man accustomed to speaking with God.
