The identity of Priesthood Today – by Rev. Dr. Stany Antony OMI

“Jesus called them to be with him and to be sent” (  Mk3;13-15)

We can speak of an identity only in relation to Jesus Christ as we are called to act in the person of Jesus Christ. It is not filling a gap or substitution. In normal language, it is understood as delegating someone to represent when he is unable to be present. We cannot speak in  the meaning of this normal language since Jesus Christ is never absent since he is present in His Spirit in the Church. When you speak about identity crisis  in the priesthood it is relational since it follows that we  are unable to be configured to Christ. ( Jer 3:15, 23:4) ( Jn 17:11,21)
