Priests not born of an Angel

I came across this from the In God's Company 2 site. This is so true and I think Fr. Jozo of Medjugorje speaks volumes here. Please pray for all of us priests! Let's pray especially during this special year for priests for God's grace to come upon them and the whole Church!

Priest not born of an Angel
says Fr Jozo Zovko ofm:

“A priest is not born of an angel but of
a mother. He is chosen from amongst the
people, is anointed with the Sacrament of
Priesthood and returned back to the people,
to the Church – into their care, their prayer
and their love. The priest is a sign of the
omnipotence of our God. Pray for priests.
Love them. Support them. Help them to be
holy. We are weak and fragile. If your knees
are not bent in prayer for us, we stumble and
fall. We need your prayer.” - Fr. Jozo Zovko ofm
