WHY WOULD I GO TO A PRIEST?

.......After listening to the ten lepers,Christ instructed them to go and show themselves to the Priest.. (lukewarm 17;11-19).....,this does not mean that Christ is not a priest  nor does it mean  that He could not grant instant healing to the ten.....rather, and i am strongly convinced that in as much as it is a traditional in the Jewish religion,Christ also ceased the opportunity to illustrate the importance of the ministerial priesthood in our Society....For those who do not value their priest,for those who do not see anything good about priests.Christ though origin,essence,beginning and end of priesthood,still values His priest's, even though they are weak,frail and sinful men.......Little wander He saw the weakness of the Apostles yet He choose them .He knew Peter will deny Him,He even warned him on time yet he still denied Him...."truly I  tell you this very night before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times (Mark 14:30).He knew Judas will betray Him and that was why He said in warning too.."truly I say to you one of you will betray Mr, one who is eating with me"..lastly,Jesus knew that all the Apostles will ran way when it matters most,yet Christ never refused to hand them the divine authority of teaching and proclamation of the Goodnews and more serious the Eucharist,which is the body and blood of Christ..."Do this in memory of me"

Dear friend,love your priests,show them love and care.These men who have left family,friends,loved ones,marriage and children to serve God and humanity deserves something good......Go to them for your confession, seek their pieces od advice,advice them when they go wrong but not in public,criticize them positively but not in public,never gossip with their names,even when they are derailing,...pray for them and ask our Lady to make them holy through her intercession,ask our Lady to cover her with her virginal mantle,....Tell God your grateful for the gift of holy priesthood and God will grant us more holy priests....Do not look at his weakness for surely you will find one.He is mortal and prone to mistake but only guided by the grace of God...Ask God to grant him the grace to be holy and humble,to live out
