Designed as a retreat in book form, this profound meditation by Fr. Ezra Sullivan reflects on the immense gift and grave responsibility of the Catholic priesthood. Drawing on Scripture and the saints, he explores spiritual fatherhood, devotion to God the Father, filial love for Our Lady, and the example of St. Joseph, while emphasizing the centrality of the Eucharist and faithful administration of the sacraments. With candor and pastoral insight, he addresses common temptations such as functionalism, overwork, and discouragement, offering practical guidance for prayer, preaching, and growth in virtue. Rooted in the dignity of acting in persona Christi, this work calls priests to deeper union with Christ for the salvation of souls.
