Product Description
If every priest in the Church knew this book, we would have a different Church.
The author St. Joseph Cafasso says the priesthood cannot be mediocre and that a priest will either be a true priest and do immense good, or he will be an instrument of great evil.
Gives firm, practical instructions to priests for both their personal life and their ministry-delicacy of conscience, hearing confessions, and showing a good example, etc.
Softcover, 256 pp.
