HOLY THURSDAY
BIRTHDAY OF THE PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
INSTITUTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST
Christ: If you had the purity of an Angel and the holiness of St. John the Baptist, you would not be worthy to receive or to touch this holy Sacrament. No man has merited to be able to consecrate and touch the Sacrament of Christ, or to receive the Bread of Angels as his food.
This is a tremendous mystery, and great is the dignity conferred on priests, which is not granted to the Angels. For only priests, validly ordained in the Church, have this power of offering Holy Mass and consecrating the Body of Christ.(Imitation of Christ)
Peace be with you!
