Ordinary 31
Continuation of Letter to Hebrews and reflections on Priesthood. Last week's reflections weren't posted because I was on retreat. In Summary: First movement of priesthood is "Attraction to the Holy". A vocation to the priesthood starts with being attracted by God. Illustrates importance of Eucharistic Adoration programs. Second movement of priesthood is from God to God's people. Having touched "The Holy", a priest must faithfully bring the holy to God's people. It is not "my Mass", it belongs to God's people. A Priest must be faithful to Word and Sacrament. Third movement is back to God. The priest must bring God's people with him. Leading by example, a priest must strive for holiness.
This week's reading points us to the Priesthood of Jesus. A priest must be a credible embodiment of the Priesthood of Jesus. Rememebring last week's word that priests come from human stock and looking to Jesus, priests must be humble.
