Pro-Prefect, Dicastery for Evangelization
<\/strong>Soon, some of you, upon receiving the sacrament of Holy Orders, will \u2018descend\u2019 the ranks of ministry. I deliberately say and emphasize \u2018descend,\u2019 and not \u2018rise,\u2019 because with ordination one does not ascend, but descends\u2014we become small, we lower ourselves, and we strip ourselves of our ego. In the words of Saint Paul, in service we strip off the \u2018earthly man\u2019 and clothe ourselves, in charity, with the \u2018heavenly man.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
