Q What is
your message for priests
Sr. Briege McKenna: I talk about personal holiness. The crisis in the
priesthood is not celibacy; it is faith in Jesus Christ. People who have a
relationship with Jesus Christ can't live with sin in their lives. So I pray
that they have a living faith in Jesus Christ with the Eucharist in the centre
of their lives. The tragedy in Ireland
is that there is so much negativity and they get so discouraged.
The greatest need is to be a personal witness to Jesus
Christ. If their message is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it will bear fruit. The
people are hungry. If you look at any list of retreats, sometimes the person of
Jesus isn't even mentioned, but there is nothing like spending time with the
Eucharist. It is so easy to be attracted by good things, but leave out the most
important thing, which is our prayer life.
