Archbishop Chaput: "may God grant us the passion to burn up every atom, every trace, every memory of ourselves in the fire of service to God's will"

"If Priests and Bishops Don't Change, Little in the Church Can Change"

"My dear brothers, God's Word never weakens. His promise never disappears. At ordination, God called each of us to a special relationship of friendship with himself and of service to his people. This is the real privilege of our priesthood. It's the only one we should seek; and the only one we need for a life of fruitfulness and joy."

-- Archbishop Charles Chaput, homily for Holy Thursday Chrism Mass, 2012
