Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cardinal Mercier's Retreat to His Priests
A devoted Priest is the noblest work of God. In his formation the Divine Wisdom so operates as to be his efficient cause. In the beginning, God gives him a special vocation: The Lord hath chosen you to stand before Him, and to minister to Him, and to worship Him, and to burn incense to Him (par. XXIX).
