The 5 or 6 “P”s of Priesthood (HolyThursday20)

Holy Thursday is an amazing day that ends lent and begins the most sacred time of all the year with the Easter Triduum. On Holy Thursday the Priesthood and the Eucharist are instituted. The priesthood is an amazing gift and to better understand it I came up with the 5 or 6 “P”s of Priesthood.

 

Peter-best example

Not Perfect-still human and need to go to confession

Powerful-More powerful (in a good way) then a walking around nuclear bomb

Purposeful-can think of no more meaningful work then bring Jesus present and wipe out sin

Pointing-we point toward heaven, eternity, and what really matters in life

Passion-we are so passionate in our love of God and neighbor that we lay down our lives

 

Finally, we renew our promises and ask you to pray for us.

Here is the link of Pope Saint John Paul II letter to priests that I reference:
