I  have just opened my daily dispatch from Zenit agency. I found in it a document which drew my attention and I want to share it with you. This is Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor,  the retired archbishop of Westminster,  address to Ireland's priests, delivered on June 15 at the Maynooth Union Celebrations to mark the end of the Year for Priests:  "The Greatest Wound ... in This Present Crisis Is the Betrayal of Love".

Good bye, the Year for Priests!

 

Tomorrow is the official closing ceremony of the Year for Priests. How fitting the date! The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And who, if not us, priests, are suppose to strive with all our strength, resolve, hope and love to ask Jesus, The Most High Priest of the New Covenant: "Jesus, meek and humble of Heart... make our hearts like unto Thine!"

Epiphany

On Wednesdays I celebrate the Holy Mass with Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. With head and heart heavy with various thoughts, intentions and worries, I knelt down in front of the icon of Our Lady and prayed in silence outpouring my heart to Our Lady asking for intercession and guidance.

When I finished the liturgy and took off vestments, I went back home to get ready for short hop to Zanaki Parish for today's deanery Mass which we are going to celebrate to mark the closing Year of Priests.

I was stopped in my tracks amazed at the God's revelation, I would say - Epiphany, when the heavy overcast heavens opened suddenly and I saw this (I had to rush home to get my camera so I could capture the moment)...

I guess you can take this sign as an answer to my worries? Or maybe a sign that answers will come the day and in the manner God Himself has already planned. I do hope so...

Year of Priests

As it draws near to its end next month, I would like to share with you one of the best summaries of the mystery of priesthood I found on youtube, thanks to Fr. Benedict Croell OP who posted links to these two short videos on facebook. Here they are. Enjoy!
