If we were to get back to the basics and simply define the clergy’s vocation it would be to get their entire congregation to Heaven; unite, strengthen and build the kingdom of God. In the end this is what the clergy will be judged on. Knowing this would you as a pastor do anything differently?
Thanks for the question. I understand that may have been the case for past generations, but I feel no doubts about my identity as a priest, my role within the Church, and the sacramental character of orders. I agree that knowing who I am as a priest is central to my mission. Thanks

These mini “meditations ” are spot on. Format is perfect, don’t change a thing.
Thanks Don… I will do my best
