After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. - Luke 5:4-6

A Reflection on Priesthood



Friends, a week ago the men of Moreau Seminary had the pleasure of hosting, H.E. The Most Rev. Kevin Rhoades, Bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. After mass and dinner the Bishop gave a wonderful lecture in honor of the Year of the Priest, entitled Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest.  In his lecture the Bishop outlined well how all priestly life, lay and ordained, emanates from the Priesthood of Christ.  It is a bit legenthy, but if you have the time, especially if you are discerning a priestly vocation, it is worth the read.
