From the Holy Father's homily given today at the Chrism Mass in Rome:
We
are concerned with the salvation of men and women in body and soul. And as
priests of Jesus Christ we carry out our task with enthusiasm. No one should
ever have the impression that we work conscientiously when on duty, but before
and after hours we belong only to ourselves. A priest never belongs to himself.
People must sense our zeal, through which we bear credible witness to the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Let us ask the Lord to fill us with joy in his message, so that
we may serve his truth and his love with joyful zeal. Amen.
