Holy Thursday is an amazing day that ends lent and begins the most sacred time of all the year with the Easter Triduum. On Holy Thursday the Priesthood and the Eucharist are instituted. The priesthood is an amazing gift and to better understand it I came up with the 5 or 6 “P”s of Priesthood.
Peter-best example
Not Perfect-still human and need to go to confession
Powerful-More powerful (in a good way) then a walking around nuclear bomb
Purposeful-can think of no more meaningful work then bring Jesus present and wipe out sin
Pointing-we point toward heaven, eternity, and what really matters in life
Passion-we are so passionate in our love of God and neighbor that we lay down our lives
Finally, we renew our promises and ask you to pray for us.
Here is the link of Pope Saint John Paul II letter to priests that I reference:
