This single-volume collector's edition contains the complete collection of Pope John Paul II's Holy Thursday letters to priests. A collection of reflections for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the priesthood in the modern world.
In his first Holy Thursday letter, St. John Paul II wrote, "On this holy day, the liturgy takes us inside the Upper Room." He would continue this tradition until his passing in 2005. The Upper Room is the essence of his annual letters: coming to a deeper understanding of the theology of the priesthood, instituted that first Holy Thursday almost two millennia ago.
Letters to My Brother Priests emphasizes the priest's vocation, his union with Christ and with his fellow priests, priestly ministry, prayer and formation, Marian devotion, and, most of all, the priest's call to a life of joyful holiness.
Makes a thoughtful gift for clergy!
