Man for Others

Man for Others –43- Father John Edwards SJ - on Priesthood - Totus2us


Listen Later

Fr John, a Jesuit priest from England, whose vocation story began with Fatima: "Then it dawned on me that to be able to forgive sins would be more wonderful and I thought of the priesthood. To be able to forgive one serious sin, just once in one's life, to be the instrument God used to bring that person back into union with Himself, to turn that person's life into a thing of beauty, and that is what happens when a Catholic gets his sins forgiven, I thought that would be worth everything .. Then, more and more, it dawned on me what the Mass was - I haven't got used to it yet! That I'm used by God to bring the moment of the Passion of Jesus, actually present in that church, and to bring the moment of the Resurrection, actually present in that Church. And that the Lamb of God that I hold between my fingers, is present in that Church, that heaven has transfixed earth there. Now if that is the case, and it is, what a privilege!"
