A priest lives espoused to the Church, finding immeasurable joy in existing for her and not himself, taking her children to himself and carrying them before God in prayer, making their concerns his own, delighting in their joys, heeding their sorrows, and building them up tirelessly in love. And I tell myself daily, "What a privilege it is to serve God's people!"
