Priestly Manliness 1 of 2: Strength Encountered in Christ’s Identity

In this retreat to young priests, Dr. Phil Chavez makes important points of establishing strong masculine identity in the cleric. Taking on the name “Father” presumes that a man is well established first in his identity as a “Son” and “Brother”. Dr. Chavez explains how the foundation as a Beloved Son is integrated humanly and spiritually; and how this impacts a Priest in his spiritual life and in ministry. Other areas of character emasculation commonly found in the priest are treated.
