The life of a priest is nourished by word and sacrament, as the priest is one who foremost contemplates the word of God and partakes of the bread of life. And the life of a priest finds its meaning in the midst of God’s people. The natural habitat of the priest is in the field, among people, taking on the ‘smell of the sheep’. In order to fulfill this vocation the priest himself must give attention to his own ongoing formation and needs: human, intellectual, pastoral and spiritual. The priest is also a collaborator with the bishop of the diocese and along with the faithful, he is called to work with the bishop in a consultative way in order to further the mission of the diocese.
