Fruits of the Priesthood
Holy Orders
By which the task of serving in the name and in the Person of Christ is conferred.
The Fruits of the sacrament are:
-The mission and faculty ("the sacred power") to act in persona Christi.
-Configuration to Christ as Priest, Teacher, and Pastor.
-The imprinting, as in Baptism, of an indelible character that cannot be repeated or conferred temporarily.

The Priesthood by Lacordaire
The Priesthood: by Lacordaire
To live in the midst of the world
without desiring its pleasures;
To be a mamber of Each family,
yet beloning to none;
To share all sufferings;
To penetrate all secrets;
To heal all wounds;
To go from men to God
and offer Him their prayers;
To return from God to men
To bring pardon, peace, and hope;
To have a heart of fire for charity
and a heart of bronze for chastity,
to teach and to pardon,
to console and to bless always;
This life if yours,
Oh Priest of Jesus Christ.
