What Is A Priesthood Visit?

Paul in a letter to the Romans writes:

“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?” (Romans 10:13-15)

These questions are relevant to us today, in our world.  The Gospel transforms and gives life to those who believe and follow, but if there is no one to proclaim it, then the world will not be able to receive it.  Priesthood exists to proclaim the life changing and life-giving Gospel.  But Paul also asks: “And how can people preach unless they are sent?”

So too, we can ask ourselves this question.  The answer is that the men who are called by God to be priests are sent by God, through his Church, to proclaim to the world, that calling on the name of the Lord will bring salvation.  And what Paul said years ago about those who preach is true also today: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring [the] good news!”
