Reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit God forever and Everen part Pro is ch PR Sh For Pro B He B to So My Bah He Am sh The Bu Me To Prashan gr pru yesu masi amen amen Alpha Omega hallelu halelujah Hallelujah Hal Hallelujah for the Lord be with you a reading from the holy Gospel According to St Luke glory to at that time Jesus came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as was his custom he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day and he
Stood up to read and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him he unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to Proclaim good news to the poor he has
Sent me to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and recovering of the sight to the blind to set at Liberty those who are oppressed to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down and the eyes of all in the
Synagogue were fixed on him and he began to say to them today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing the gospel of the Lord prise to you Jesus Christ dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ the high priest this anticipated Chism mass today has brought us priests consecrated persons and God’s people to relive our vocation as anointed by the spirit of the Lord the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed
Me the spirit has anointed us at baptism confirmation and Priestly ordination that is why the church sets aside this holy day to remind all of us of the Marvels that he has done for each one of us baptism is the basic Sacrament that gives all of us the dignity and
Identity of the children of God and our vocation as Christians as a second Vatican Council states in the decree on the ministry of and life of priests the Lord Jesus whom the father consecrated and sent into the world makes his whole mystical body shareer in the anointing of the
Spirit wherewith he has been anointed for in that body all the faithful are made holy and kingly priesthood they offer spiritual sacrif Rices to God through Jesus Christ and they proclaim the virtues of him who has called them out of Darkness into his own admirable light
Therefore there is no such thing as a member that has not a share in the mission of the whole body every single member ought to reverence Jesus in his heart or her heart and by the Spirit of Prophecy give testimony to Jesus the church sets aside this day for
Priests on the day of the institution of the sacrament of priesthood Holy Thursday anticipated it is appropriate therefore to reflect on this gift and mystery that we as priests have received from the Lord priesthood is a precious vocation a call that Jesus gives to whom he Wills as evangelist Mark
Says and he went up on the mountain and called to him Those whom he desired and they came to him as we recall the words the ordaining bishop who after the laying of his hands on us on the day of our ordination had prayed thus Grant we pray Almighty
Father to these your servants the Dignity of the priesthood renew deep within them the spirit of holiness may they possess this office which comes from you oh God and by the example of the manner of life may they instill right conduct we are reminded by St Paul of our
Unworthiness in his first letter to the Corinthians ver 26-3 consider your call Brothers not many of you were wise according to worldly standards not many were powerful not many were of noble birth but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world
To shame the strong God chose what is low and dist pised in the world even things that are not to bring to nothing things that are so that human beings might boast in the presence of God at the Last Supper Jesus said to his Apostles no longer do I call you
Servants but I have called you friends for all that I have heard from my father I have made known to you you you did not choose me but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit John 15516 that should keep us dear brother priests humble and make
Us grateful always to the Lord for this great and precious gift of priesthood to today is a celebration of Brotherly Bond and fraternal unity in priesthood of this the second Vatican Council again reminds us all priests who are constituted in the order of priesthood by the sacrament of
Order are bound together by an intimate sacramental Brotherhood but in a special way they form one Priestly body in the dicese to which they are attached under their own Bishop for even though they may be assigned different duties yet they fulfill the one Priestly service of for
People indeed all priests are sent to cooperate in the same work this is true whether the ministry they exercise is parochial or Supra parochial whether the task be research or teaching or even if they engage in manual labor and share the lot of the workers when that appears to be of
Advantage and has the approval of the competent Authority or finally they carry out the apostolic works or those directed towards the apostol it they all contribute to the same purpose namely the building up of the body of Christ when we live this Unity of priesthood with mutual acceptance respect love forgiveness
Support obedience and concern then we become happy priests the joy of the Gospel will be experienced in our lives this is Joy This Joy is a fruit of the presence of the Holy Spirit within us is the fruit of our bonding together with our fellow priests during his visit to Mongolia in
September last year Pope Francis asked a question to the bishops priests missionaries consecrated persons and pastoral workers there why should anyone spend his or her life for the gospel and he himself answered you spend your life for the gospel because you have tasted The God Who made himself
Visible able to be touched and encountered in Jesus the Christian Life is born of contemplating the Lord’s face is about love daily encounter with the Lord in his word and the bread of life and the faces of others the needy and the poor in whom Jesus is
Present he told them be close to the people with compassion and tenderness do not forget to adore the Lord and from your adoration Springs every activity to this Presbyterian with that rootedness we will be happy priests and that is the great gift we can offer as witnesses to our people today is a
Celebration of our ministry as priests at the time of our ordination the bishop had prayed thus oh oh Lord may they be worthy co-workers with our order so that by their preaching and through the grace of the Holy Spirit the words of the Gospel May bear fruit in
Human hearts and reach even to the end of the Earth together with us may they be faithful stewards of your Mysteries so that your people may be renewed in the waters of rebirth and nourished from your altar so that Sinners may be reconciled and sick raised up may they
Be joined with us Lord in imploring your mercy for the people entrusted to their care and for all the world dear brother priests our ministry of preaching teaching and healing is a sharing in the ministry of Jesus as priest prophet and Shepherd the blessing of the oil of
Cumans oil of the sick and the consecration of sacred crism indicate that Jesus ministry and his fruitfulness is taking place today in our time the gospel of today ended thus Jesus said today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing Luke 4:21 the anointing with these oils ensures the Lord’s continuous caring
