Priests have to ask God to show them how best to lead their flock towards Heaven. As the Mass is (to quote the sub-title of Scott Hahn's book, The Lamb's Supper, "The Mass is Heaven on Earth" then the priest ought to be both an expert on the Mass (he's the one offering the sacrifice in a unique way, *and* leading the laity to do the same) and an expert on the God Whom he is charged to bring to the people. Of course, it also helps if he is an expert on the people he needs to bring to God. <br /><br />But there is no greater action a priest can do than celebrate the sacraments - The Mass, Baptism, and Penance first and foremost among the rest. These acts of charity are worth more than all the rest.<br />WBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746152323560656376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-50044427575721565722014-01-28T12:05:48.154+00:002014-01-28T12:05:48.154+00:00You seem to be a confused Novus Ordo heretic.

I am making the point that "by their good works you will know them". The Apostles and early Christians knew very little of Catholicism, Catechism or celebrating the Mass in a particular language. It was their Faith and actions which spread the Good News and gained more believers in Christ.<br /><br />I ask the question again: what percentage of their congregation will our priests tell God that they led safely to Heaven?<br /><br />And what about us? Will He ask us to recite the Catechism and pray in Latin? Or will He ask what we have done to "the least of these ... you have done to Me"?<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-75519323547080744112014-01-26T19:02:09.932+00:002014-01-26T19:02:09.932+00:00"His Good News" is the doctrine of the F..."His Good News" is the doctrine of the Faith, as found in the Cathechism.
