Near the dramatic end of the Rite of Ordination, the new priest receives the gifts gathered from the People of God. The bishop hands them to the priest and says these words: "Accept from the holy people of God the gifts to be offered to him. Know what you are doing, imitate the mystery you celebrate; model your life on the mystery of the Lord's cross."
These powerful words form the backdrop for this retreat. It is for priests and for those who work and worship with them.
You are the pastors, the pastoral workers, and the baptized ministers of the church. You are the ones who have offered the gifts mentioned by the bishop, the gifts which priests bring into holy order by their ministry within the parish. Let us be people with Gratitude for our priests. Let us be Prayerful in our response to God's call. And let us offer Support to priests and those who work with them. Amen.
