Lord Jesus Christ
in the sacrament of priesthood
we have said a radical yes to You.
From the depths of our souls and for a lifetime.
Yes, like Mary.
You have placed it with Your Spirit
into our hearts, You Yourself.
It is deeply rooted in us
and keeps the priestly life awake.
It is so often in danger!
But You always place our yes
back into our hearts anew as
A GIFT.
(Fr. Benedikt Holota OFM /*1922/, Unplanned Ten Talks)
