1. Week beginning 29th April 2019

2. Friday 3rd May 2019
Some are called to holiness in the Priesthood, through the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders, ordination enables a person to act on behalf of the Church, through the Word of God, the seven Sacraments, and leadership in the community.
A priest is committed to creating a Christian community, which is truly the ‘body of Christ’ in our world. He is committed to serving those in need around him, with the support of the parish community, in which he works.
Reflection
What qualities and gifts are needed to be a priest?
What can I do to support the priest, in my local church?
How do they ‘make the world a better place to be in’, for us?

3. Let us pray…
Lord Jesus,
Following you is a bit like jumping in, at the deep end.
Help me, as I discern how I can best, be me.
Be close to me, as I search out which way of life is best for me.
Give me your grace to trust in God, your Abba, and to walk the path that draws me closer to you.
You know my deepest desires.
Give me the courage to follow with a ready will and an open heart.
Amen
