“When people want to destroy religion they begin by attacking the priest; for when there is no priest, there is no sacrifice: and when there is no sacrifice, there is no religion.”

After God the priest, that sums up everything. Leave a parish twenty years without a priest and they’ll be worshiping animals. Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.

When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ. St. Jean Marie-Baptiste Vianney, Patron of Parish Priests
