"The priest, man of the divine Word and of sacred things, must be today, more than ever, a man of joy and hope," the Holy Father affirmed. "To men who can no longer conceive that God is pure Love, he will always affirm that life is worth living, and that Christ gives it all its meaning because he loves men, all men."
Benedict XVi said that it is an awareness of the priest's own weakness that opens him to intimacy with God. And it is God who "gives us strength and joy. "The priest is no longer for himself, but for all."
