For more than thirty-five years, Romanus Cessario has taught and advised candidates for the priesthood. In this text, Father Cessario explains how the vocation to the priesthood comes to a man as both gift and mystery. God chooses priests to serve as both instruments of his will and spiritual fathers for his people. Drawing on the riches of the Dominican tradition as well as the general principles of Catholic theology, Father Cessario richly illuminates the nature of the priesthood with insights that will instruct priests, seminarians, and laypeople alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThese pages aim to help Catholic priests and those who love priests to ponder properly the grace that these consecrated men have received and its implications for their lives.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eRomanus Cessario, O.P.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, serves as a professor of theology at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts.
