Synopsis

Discover the Priest as Mediator: Jesus Christ as the Model for Catholic Priests This book presents Jesus Christ in the Scriptures as the divine model of the priest, guiding clergy to live the life of charity, humility, and service that mediates between God and humanity.

Drawing on Scripture and patristic insight, it explains how a priest’s public worship, personal sanctity, and daily conduct reflect the mission of mediation. It emphasizes practical virtues, zeal for divine service, and the responsibilities of leading a parish while fostering devotion among the faithful.


Readers will encounter a clear framework for priestly life—humility, obedience, interior life, and steadfast love for God and neighbor—worked out through careful discussion of liturgy, catechesis, and pastoral duties. The text connects personal sanctification with effective ministry and the reward promised to faithful mediators in Christ.
