About This Quote
The goal of priestly ministry is to do good to the souls of men. According to this definition, priestly ministry is not just about the words of the Mass or of prayers. It is more than that. It is about being there for people who are hurting, being their friend, being their advocate, being their kind protector and defender when they need that most.
