Very Rev. John D. Fleckenstein, V.E.

“The priestly vocation is essentially a call to sanctity, in the form that derives from the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Sanctity is intimacy with God; it is the imitation of Christ, poor, chaste and humble; it is unreserved love for souls and self-giving to their true good; it is love for the church which is holy and wants us to be holy, because such is the mission that Christ has entrusted to it. Each one of you must be holy also in order to help your brothers pursue their vocation to sanctity.” (Blessed John Paul II (Rome, Italy, October 9, 1984) For homilies please visit: http://www.stphilipchurch-bc.org/homily.htm
