Spiritual Motherhood for Priests

Filed under: Priesthood — shelray @ 8:33 am

The Vatican dicastery is kicking off a world wide search for mothers. Following the example set by our Blessed Mother, is a campaign which would entrust all our priests to Mary, the mother of the high and eternal Priest, through spiritually adopting each and every one of our priests. The resources are here for those who would like to explore the possibilities of spiritually assisting priests with their self-offering, prayer and penance.

Through Zenit:

“In order to continually maintain a greater awareness of the ontological link between the Eucharist and the priesthood, and in order to recognize the special maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary for each priest, it is our intention to bring about a connection between perpetual Eucharistic adoration for the reparation of faults and sanctification of priests.”

The campaign asks that “a prayer of adoration, thanksgiving, praise, petition, and reparation, will be raised to God, incessantly and from every corner of the earth, with the primary intention of awakening a sufficient number of holy vocations to the priestly state.”

Can you imagine the possibilities if we actually pulled this thing off? I just wonder how I may look in the eyes of God when I point out the faults of others while saying no to the graces which could save them? Just a thought.

    Well there you go - who can argue with that?!
