The Joy Of The Priesthood

This is the title of an article written by Fr. John Jay Hughes. Father Hughes is a Church historian and a priest in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
I found the article over at Inside Catholic. In this Year For Priests, it is very edifying to read a beautiful tribute by a priest in love with Christ and the vocation to which He has called him.
Father Hughes is also an Anglican convert, so this article is also very timely given the current reception of Anglicans into full communion with Rome.
Please take a few minutes to read this article that relates Father Hughes' own experiences of his conversion and his priesthood.
Thank you to all our priests, and to quote the prayer of one of my parish priests: "May they be holy, humble and happy priests."
May our Blessed Mother, Queen of the Apostles, obtain for us many faithful priests!
