Hope for the Liturgy: What to Expect from Today's Newly-Ordained Priests.
Featured in the Adoramus Bulletin. Nov. 2020 Issue
Written by: Father Kurt Belsole, O.S.B.
A Man of TraditionThe new priest will embrace the whole of the Catholic Tradition, including the devotional traditions of the Church: Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction, Stations of the Cross, and the rosary will not be foreign to him. At the same time, he will hold to the moral tradition of the Church, being decidedly pro-life, and always fostering holy matrimony.
He will love the Church. In the liturgical tradition, he will take sacramental life seriously, not altering the baptismal formula, recognizing that the sacraments do effect what they signify. For this reason, he will make himself available for the sacrament of confession, and he will take proper care of the Blessed Sacrament.
A Man of Priestly FraternityThe new priest will generally want to live in priestly fraternity, pray with other priests, have opportunities to enjoy their company, and share with them the challenges and joys of parish life. The new priest will love his life as a priest and his work as a priest, and he will not see things such as celibacy as a burden thrust upon him. I find those preparing for the priesthood to be happy men, joyful in their vocation, and zealous in their response.
