Today, the Thursday between Pentecost and Trinity Sunday, June 9th, is the Feast of Christ the High Priest. It’s a feast reminding us of the priestly work (office) of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and that every ordained priest in the Catholic Church acts in persona Christi capitis. Read Hebrews 2 and 7.
While approved in several places, sadly the US bishops have not asked for the feast here in the USA.
Let us pray that all priest be faithful servants of Christ and of the Church, the People of God.
I also pray for my friends in the clergy, high and low, and in particular those recently ordained priest.
