Eucharistic Reflection - I Want My Priests and My People Close to Me To Console Me

Holy Thursday should be among the most treasured days in our Church as we commemorate and give thanks for the Gift of the Eucharist and the Priesthood.
It must be an occasion for the spiritual re-invigoration of our priests and of all whom they serve.
God is quite clear as to what He expects from His priests! - to make the Eucharist the center of all that they do - all that they do. This begins and is sustained only by spending time in His Eucharistic Presence, adoring Him, listening to Him and allowing Him to complete their priestly transformation into other Christs,
His expectations and pleadings have not changed over the centuries. Sadly, He still awaits a universal and affirmative response from many of His priests.
Thank God that through the following two reflections, Father Mark at Vultus Christi has the courage to share those expectations with his brother priests and with us.
Here are two brief excerpts from each of Father's posts and the links to where you can read them in their entirety.
After pondering these stirring words, will you love your priests enough to get copies of these reflections into their "sacred and venerable" hands?
Will you too make the Eucharist the center of all that you do? Will you also come into His Presence? Will you pray unceasingly for the sanctification of our priests?
