An ordination is the beginning of an even longer journey than the journey to the priesthood.
Reminds me of Joseph's life....13 years as a slave and prisoner were 11% of his 110 years...necessary years of preparation for a life of service and impact.
We pray for all our new priests, may the God who called you and has moulded you into a priest fill you with every grace needed for the journey ahead.
As a priest, you're a father mother, brother, sister, spiritual director and so much more...an often thankless job that can leave you weary.
May God's daily new mercies renew your strength for each day as you guide His people on the mutual journey to heaven.
Congratulations!
