BELONGING AS A PRIEST!
Each
of us is a result of a thought of God.
Each of us is willed, each of us is loved,
Each of us is necessary.
There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel,
by the encounter with Christ.
There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to
others of our friendship with Him
(Pope
Benedict VI)
QUESTIONS
• Have you been “surprised” by the
Jesus of the Gospels?
• Have you “encountered” Jesus?
• Do you want to “speak to others” about Him?
You could do this as a PRIEST in the Church of Auckland working
alongside Bishop Patrick Dunn and other priests who work with him.
“Only
when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what live is. We
are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us
is the result of a thought of God.”
(Pope
Benedict VI)
QUESTION
Having met the “living God in
Christ”, do you want to help others see they are not some
casual and meaningless product of evolution”, but that “each of us
is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us
is loved, each of us is necessary?”
All of this is part of the ministry of a PRIEST. Perhaps you could
do these things as a PRIEST!
WHY DON’T YOU ASK YOUR LOCAL PRIEST MORE QUESTIONS??

Prayer for
Vocations
Holy Father,
look down upon this human family of ours
taking its first steps along the path
of the third millennium.
Its life is still deeply marked by hatred, violence
and oppression.
The thirst for justice, truth and grace still finds a space
in the hearts of many people who are waiting for someone to bring salvation
achieved by you through your Son Jesus.
There is a need for courageous
servants of suffering humanity.
Send holy priests to your church we pray,
who
may sanctify your people with the tools of your grace.
Send consecrated men
and women to show your holiness
in the midst of the world, send holy labourers
into your vineyard
that they may labour with fervent charity and moved by your
Holy Spirit, may bring the salvation of Christ to the farthest ends of the
earth. Amen
Pope John
Paul II
