THE YEAR OF PRIESTS (REPEAT)
By Father Patrick Wangai, Associate Pastor

Pope Benedict XVI declared last year in March that this year will be the year of priests. The year of the priests began on June 19th, on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is also meant to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the death of the patron for priests, the Cure of Ars, St. John Mary Vianney.

Why a Year for Priests? "The aim of this year for priests, is to support each priests struggle towards spiritual perfection, upon which the effectiveness of his ministry particularly depends, and to help priests, and with them the entire people of God, to rediscover and revive an awareness of the extraordinary and indispensable gift of Grace which the ordained ministry represents" (Benedict XVI). The Year for priests should be spent in prayer by priests, with priests and for priests for the Sanctification of priests. Prayer is the language proper and indispensable in ones relationship with God. With it one gets united with God.

"In those days King Herod laid hands upon some members of the Church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also. It was the feast of Unleavened Bread. He had him taken into custody and put in prison under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. He intended to bring him before the people after Passover. Peter thus was being kept in prison, but prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God on his behalf.

On the very night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter, secured by double chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while outside the door guards kept watch on the prison. Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, "Get up put on your belt and sandals." He did so. Then he said to him, "Put on your cloak and follow me." So he followed him out, not realizing that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the Iron Gate leading out to the city, which opened for them by itself. They emerged and made their way down an alley, and suddenly the angel left him."(Acts 12: 1-11).

The prayers of the Church members rescued Peter from prison and from the clutches of death. It cannot be denied that in spite of our priestly limitations and shortcomings, our mistakes and failures, not to mention the occasional scandals that we cause, we priests do an irreplaceable work in the church and society. Conformed to Christ as head of the Church, we bring to the present the very redeeming sacrifice of our Lord on the Cross every time we celebrate Mass. The celebration of the Holy Eucharist is the summit of our priesthood. Every other priestly ministry flows from it and leads to it. The Church calls all of us to pray for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and most of all for the Sanctification of the priests, that they be strengthened in their ministry and that they may continue to serve the faithful of Christ with dedication and Love of Christ. To the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary we commend all the priests of the Catholic Church.

QUOTES OF ST. JOHN VIANNEY
Patron Saint of all the world's priests

"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man."

"When we go before the Blessed Sacrament let us open our heart; our good God will open His. We shall go to Him; He will come to us, the one to ask, the other to receive. It will be like a breath from One to the other."

"The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus"
