- St. Augustine

The life of a priest is above all the salvation history of one baptized person. We should never forget that each particular vocation, including that of Holy Orders, is a completion of baptism.”

- Pope Francis

“The end for which God has instituted the priesthood has been to appoint on earth public persons to watch over the honor of his divine majesty, and to procure the salvation of souls.”

— St. Alphonsus Liguori.

“As the shepherd, so the sheep; as the priest, so the people. Priest-victim leadership begets a holy Church. Every worldly priest hinders the growth of the Church; every saintly priest promotes it!”

- Ven. Fulton Sheen
