When is thought that only a priest can forgive sins and that he tied in the bottom of your humble confession, God, bound by his own word, which binds in heaven, and he unleashed in the same instant God unleashes ...
When you think that Our Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, performed a greater miracle than the creation of the universe with all its splendors, and was making the bread and wine into his Body and Blood to feed the world, and this wonder, kneel before which angels and men, can repeat every day a priest ...
When you think a priest makes more necessary than a king, rather than a military, rather than a banker rather than a doctor, rather than a teacher, because he can replace them all and none can replace him ...
When you think a priest when he celebrates at the altar, has a dignity far greater than a king, and that is not a symbol, not even an ambassador of Christ, but Christ repeating the same that is there the greatest miracle of God ...
When you think the world would die of hunger worse if shortages that bread and wine, and that can happen, for vocations to the priesthood are scarce, and when that happens will be shaken the heavens and the earth will explode, as if the hand of God would no longer hold, and people howl of hunger and distress, and asked that Bread, and no one will give it, and ask for absolution for his sins, and none shall acquit, and die with your eyes opened by the greatest of horrors ...
When you think all this, one understands the overwhelming need to promote vocations to the priesthood ...
You understand the eagerness with which in ancient times, each family was anxious that spew forth from her bosom, like a stick of tuberose, a priestly vocation ...
One understands the immense respect that people had for priests, which was reflected in the laws ...
You understand that the worst crime anyone can commit is to prevent or discourage a vocation ...
You understand that lead to apostasy is to be like Judas selling Christ again ...
You understand that if a father or mother obstruct the priestly vocation of a child, it's like give up a title of nobility incomparable ...
One understands more than a church, and more than a school, and more than a hospital, is a seminar or a novice ...
You understand that to build or maintain a seminary or novitiate is to multiply the birth of the Redeemer ...
You understand that giving to fund the studies of a young seminarian or a novice is to pave the way which has to reach the altar a man who for half an hour, every day will be much more all the dignities of the Earth and all the saints in heaven, it will be Christ himself, sacrificing his body and blood, to feed the world.
