>Priests are clothed in the Perpetual Virginity of Mary
Father Serafino M. Lanzetta of the Franciscans of the Immaculate recently wrote something very beautiful:
Mary is always present in the life of the priest; she guides him in the midst of his trials, of the difficulties and the joys of his ministry. Begetting every priest in the Son, Mary re-clothes them with her perpetual virginity.
– Missio Immaculatae May/June 2010
I just wanted to share that because it reveals the glory of our Blessed Mother and the glory of the priesthood in Chirst. Priests, if they choose, have the honor of wearing the perpetual virginity of Blessed Mary.
Wow.
