Thou Art a Priest Forever
J.B. Henri Lacordaire, O.P.
To live in the midst of the world with
no desire for its pleasure...
To be a member of every family
yet belonging to none...
To share all sufferings; to penetrate
all secrets; to heal all wounds...
To go daily from men to God to
offer Him their petitions...
To return from God to men
to offer them His pardon...
To have a heart of fire for charity
and a heart of bronze for chastity...
To bless and be blest forever.
O God, what a life, and it is yours,
O Priest of Jesus Christ!
