More Wisdom from Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene

 

The preaching of a holy priest will move hearts; an enlightened director will make souls recognize what God wills; a generous priest will know how to bear fatigue in administering the sacraments. People are won when Christian doctrine is presented as attractively and clearly as it deserves. Thus, Saint Teresa says, we must pray that priests be holy.
