To live in the midst of the world
Without desiring its pleasures
To be a member of each family
Yet belonging to none
To share all sufferings
To penetrate all secrets
To heal all wounds
To go from men to God
And offer Him their prayer
To return from God to men
To bring pardon, peace and hope.
To have a heart of fire for charity
And a heart of bronze for chastity
To teach and to pardon
To console and to bless always
My God what a life
And it is yours,
O priest of Jesus Christ
O priest of Jesus Christ.
