Eight years ago today


Holy Father, who by no merit of my own, chose me
for communion with the eternal priesthood of your Christ
and for the ministry of your Church,
grant that I may be an ardent yet gentle preacher of the Gospel
and a faithful steward of your mysteries.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.

- Roman Missal, For the Priest Himself, On the Anniversary of His Ordination

  1. Happy ordination anniversary, Father. May you have a long and generous priesthood preaching God's eternal love, and may you continue to find much joy in your vocation. Thank you for answering God's call!
