When a man decides to say yes and become a priest
He chooses to serve others, especially the least.
He offers his life in faith to do the Church's works.
God's unconditional love is one of his perks.
He's asked to give up all his earthly attachments
And wear a cross as a sign of his worldly detachment.
His hands are blessed and are no longer his own.
The power they hold is from our Triune God alone.
He presides at the Eucharist where Jesus and we
Are offered as the perfect sacrifice of Calvary
For our nourishment and healing both in body and soul.
To participate in this Mystery is his greatest role!
