Pope Benedict XVI Says...
From Thursday's Chrism Mass...
"To be a priest, the Holy Father continued, means standing before God, representing the people. To do so properly, the priest must remain close to both God and his people, dedicating himself to service.
That abdication of self goes against the against the grain of modern culture, the Pope said, noting that our society encourages "the temptation to be totally autonomous, to follow only one's own will."
