Reflection
 26:  Article 10 of  THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH
 


                                       LUMEN GENTIUM
, 1964 

If my Daddy is a king,
I'm a prince/princess

Jesus, our Blood Brother,
is a king, a prophet and a priest

Because of Jesus,
everyone in his spiritual family
shares in his kingship, his prophetic life and his priesthood

If someone asks  "what's your job? What work do you do?"
every Christian can answer "I'm a priest"

"The ministerial priest, by the sacred power he enjoys, teaches and rules the priestly people;
acting in the person of Christ, he makes present the Eucharistic sacrifice, and offers it to God in the name of all the people. 
But the faithful, in virtue of their royal priesthood, join in the offering of the Eucharist. They likewise exercise that priesthood in receiving the sacraments, in prayer and thanksgiving, in the witness of a holy life, and by self-denial and active charity"

Jesus, please help me be a good priest!
