This is the third time that Pope Leo XIV has ordained priests from his diocese as Bishop of Rome. The last time was in June. This time, there were 10 candidates and the celebration coincided with the Day of Prayer for Vocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Leo offered them several keys to understanding the priesthood and their their new role. He began with celibacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Certainly, like the love of spouses, so too the love that inspires celibacy for the Kingdom of God must be safeguarded and continually renewed, because every true affection matures and becomes fruitful over time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pope then revealed something fundamental about the priesthood\u2014that their ministerial role is sustainted by full trust in Christ's grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, the need for security makes people aggressive, isolates communities, and leads them to look for enemies and scapegoatas. There is often fear around us, and may even be within us. May your security lie not in the role you have, but in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pope Leo also advocated for an open-door Church, one in which a sense of control over souls does not dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, more than ever, especially when the numbers seem to show a disconnect between people and the Church, keep the door open! Let people in and be ready to go out. This is another secret for your life: you are a channel, not a filter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the ten new priests were Italians, a Colombian, and a Cameroonian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" James O'Reilly This is the third time that Pope Leo XIV has ordained priests from his diocese as Bishop of Rome.
