Many Are Mystified by Priests

Trinity Sunday (Year A)Each person of the Trinity has a distinct role.* The Father is the boss. His will matters.* Jesus is the bridge between us and the Father. Through Jesus, we are able to get to the Father.* The Holy Spirit’s role is to get things done.Each person of the Trinity has different and distinct roles. Yet, they are perfectly one in perfect harmony.The Holy Spirit will teach you and tell you who Jesus is. The Holy Spirit will speak in your heart. He will testify to you.Many are mystified about who priests are, what they do, and what they are all about. It has a lot to do with God.We are delighted to be who we are. We are delighted to be the priests of God. We are delighted to be the fathers of the family of God. We are delighted to be shepherds and all that that entails.It’s not always easy, but it’s always good. It’s an exciting time to be a priest.*This homily was originally given at St. Mary’s Parish in Ottawa, ON on June 6, 1993. This is a public episode.
