Most men have
a secret desire
to make others
happy.

To give flesh to this dream
some men come
to the priesthood.
Their fervent intent
is to create joy
in the lives of others
by being
the bearers of God
and
of the good things
of God

Many are the times
and the places
where the priest
brings the joy of God
to men:
in the pulpit
where he brings the happiness
of God's Word;
in the sacraments
where he brings God and man
fiercely together.
Indeed
just by his living
as a priest
he makes a joyous statement
on the value
and meaning
of life.
