A New Priest of the Pierced Heart of Christ

. . . Having completed His sacrifice, and giving up His spirit, the side of Christ is pierced and out flowed blood and water. It is as if this heart of Christ, having spent itself totally in compassion for sinful man, has one last treasure to give in death. This is the final act, the completion of Christ’s total gift to us and to the Father.
Be sure to visit Rationabile Obsequium, the splendid new blog of a recently ordained priest whom I am privileged to count among my friends. Don’t miss the homily of Father B’s First Mass of Thanksgiving on the mystery of the pierced Heart of Christ. Bravo, dear Father!
