"I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that
is within you" (2 Timothy 1:6).
John Paul II in Pastores
Dabo Vobis reminds us that the essence of a priest’s
life is fidelity to the character received in ordination:
"It is
the Holy Spirit, poured out in the sacrament, who sustains
the priest in this faithfulness and accompanies him and encourages
him a long this path of unending conversion. This permanent
formation is a requirement of the priest’s own faithfulness to
his ministry, to his very being. It is love for
Jesus Christ and fidelity to oneself. But it is also
an act of love for the people of God, at
whose service the priest is placed" (PDV 70).
The Pontifical Institute
Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center and Sacerdos Institute, with the
patronage of the Congregation for the Clergy and the Congregation
for the Evangelization of Peoples, have organized their first course
of priestly renewal in Jerusalem for priests of whole Church.
Priestly holiness is the fulcrum of the new evangelization in
the Third Millennium, since the priest is the bridge between
God and man.
This course aims at renewing the priestly
character received in ordination, and unfolds in the very place
where Christ instituted the priesthood. In this way it hopes
to be a fountain of grace, a restoring experience, and
a vigorous motivation for the life and ministry of every
priest.

WORDS OF PRAISE
"Thank you for this blessed opportunity to
walk and pray in the land of our Lord.
The silent retreat at the beginning set the right tone
for the whole trip. The conference has helped to
ground my priesthood in the original call of the apostles,
and strengthened me to continue with my work in the
parish. I have many powerful images of the sacred
places where our Lord was, and I hope that they
continue for many years to come. Also, spending time
with so many fine priests from around the world gave
me hope for the Church universal. Finally, I want
to thank you for the fine example of the Legionaries.
Your priestly charity is certainly one of the reasons
why the program is so successful.
Thank you once again for
the entire experience. I thank you not only for
myself, but for all my parishioners who are sure to
benefit from my visit." -Rev. Greg Markey, Diocese of Bridgeport, CT
"My
experiences at the Priest Renewal Course in the Holy Land
have really made a positive impact on my spiritual life
and priestly ministry. First of all, simply spending time at
table in conversation with 65 priests from 25 countries was
to encounter priestly fraternity in a unique and invigorating manner
and was a vivid reminder of the universality of Catholicism.
Secondly, the theological lectures and opportunities for discussion and feedback
served to feed an intellectual hunger that had arisen in
my life as a parish priest. Finally, and most importantly,
to walk in the footsteps of the High Priest Jesus
Christ and to offer the Mass where the pivotal moments
of His life and ministry occurred was an honor which
defies explanation. To be in the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus
in His land is an opportunity that no priest should
pass by!" -Rev. Michael Caridi, Diocese of Pittsburgh, PA
"My three weeks
in the Holy Land continue to bring the Gospel alive
and contributes greatly to my preaching on passages where I
have actually been and seen for myself. I learned
a lot from the excellent tour guides who accompanied us
on our pilgrimage. But what I appreciate the most
is not seeing the sites of our Lord´s life which
have changed in 2000 years, but rather experiencing the culture
of the Holy Land today and leaving with a better
understanding of the issues the people deal with who live
there. At first I was amazed at how peaceful
it is and easy to travel around Israel given the
negative impression by news reports of violence and conflict, but
it is a security that Israel enjoys at a cost
- the cost of disrupting lives of and angering further
the Palestinian people who suffer through lack of employment and
isolation from work by the new security wall. We
spent a day in the Palestinian parish of Aboud and
heard firsthand of what life is like for the Christians
there. And when a Jewish rabbi gave us a
conference at the Notre Dame Center, I realized how vital
Christians are to the Holy Land, which the rabbi acknowledged
as a sort of God-given responsibility for Christians to be
instruments of peace and understanding for all peoples and religions
of this region, God´s Holy Land. So much of
world politics and interfaith relations centers on Jerusalem, and so
much of the Bible centers on Jerusalem; every priest should
take this opportunity to get to know Jerusalem. If I
forget you Jerusalem, let my right hand wither... -Rev. Daniel Vacca,
Diocese of Wichita, KS
