St. Vincent’s View of Priesthood

by | Jan 23, 2023 | Congregation of the Mission, Formation

In an article in Vincentiana, Fr. Robert Maloney, C.M. writes:

Vincent came to see priesthood as an exalted vocation of which he was unworthy. He wrote in 1656: “This state is the most sublime on earth, the very one Our Lord willed to assume and follow. As for myself, if I had known what it was when I had the temerity to enter it — as I have come to know since then — I would have preferred to till the soil than to commit myself to such a formidable state in life…” (CCD V:568)
