Some words about priesthood

                    And all men are ready to pass judgement on the priest as if he was not a being clothed with flesh, or one who inherited a human nature.
                                                                                        /John Chrysostom


                 Celibacy is not a matter of compulsion. Someone is accepted as a priest only when he does it of his own accord.
                                                                                       /Joseph Ratzinger
                  
                   I know my own soul, how feeble and puny it is: I know the magnitude of this ministry, and the great difficulty of the work; for more stormy billows vex the soul of the priest than the gales which disturb the sea.
                                                                                      /John Chrysostom

                         And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.( Jesus is Eternal High Priest)
                                                                                     /St Augustine quotes
