THE PRIESTHOOD

Hello, this is Cardinal Rigali.More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus bestowed upon His Apostles the wonderful gift of the priesthood. Today, Jesus continues to call men to serve Him as His priests.

The life of a priest is a life of love and service to God's people. The priest is called to be a representative of Christ and to bring the Good News of God's love to others.

If you know a young man who may make a good priest, please encourage him to pursue that possibility. I also ask each of you Catholic young men who hear this message to consider whether Jesus Christ is calling you to serve Him as a priest.

May God bless you.
