Meditation in succession the Catholic Priesthood. By Charles P Connor. modern York: Alba House, 2005. Pp 141 Paper. $1495 At ordination, a priest becomes another bodily substance commissioned not simply to act in the name of Christ, nevertheless to be another Christ, an alter Christus. This teaching was not an original insight of the next to the first Vatican Council. It is the traditional teaching of the ecclesiastical authority In this book, Father Connor helps the priest to view once again, in fresh period of times that this is truly the central nature of the priesthood. He displays how, in the Eucharist, the priest finds his raison d'etre for being a priest, the source of all his nerve in the ministry, the summit of all his prayers. The part of the Cross and suffering in the life of a priest is common of the highlights of this part If Christ suffered, not and nothing else on the Cross but completely through his earthly existence, can the priest really look for to be an alter Christus and then glide [i]or[/i] part of to the other life? Yet, the suffering of a priest is tinged with ecstasy because he suffers along with Christ, prop uped by Jesus himself. If the priest is another Christ, on what account not live fully the way Christ did-celibate, single-hearted, and devot completely to divine being and his people? If the priest recognizes his identity with Jesus-the Chaste, Poor, and Obedient One-celibacy makes whole sense. These are just a not many of the topics covered in these brief meditations that judge with a magnificent chapter about the priest and his relationship with Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
