Priest as a Teacher ~ February 4
|
Pope Benedict XVI declared a year of the priest in an effort to encourage "spiritual perfection" in priests. Catholic doctrinal tradition describes the priest as teacher of the Word, Minister of the Sacraments and Leader of the Christian community entrusted to him. This is the starting point of all reflection on the identity and mission of the priest in Church. In the light of new evangelization, to which the Holy Spirit calls all the faithful through the person and authority of the Holy Father, this unchanging yet ever-new doctrine must again be reflected upon with faith and hope. Presentation by Fr. Gladstone Stevens, Ph.D, Vice Rector and Academic Dean at St. Patrick's Seminary & University.
