“In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers….There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.” The Seven Story Mountain

Ways the Church is Holy

The ministerial or hierarchical priesthood of bishops and priests, and

the common priesthood of all the faithful participate, "each in its own

proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one

to another," they differ essentially. In what sense? While the common

priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal

grace --a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit--,

the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood.

It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians.

The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly

builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its

own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders.

Act of Contrition“O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.”
