He is another Christ - respect him,
He is God's representative - trust him,
He is your benefactor - be thankful to him.
In The Sacred Tribunal
He is the physician of your soul - show him its wounds,
He directs you towards God - follow his admonitians,
He is judging - abide by his decisions.
At The Alter
He offers your prayer to God - do not forget him,
He prays for you and yours in Purgatory - ask God's mercy for him.
In His Daily Life
He is human - do not hastily condemn him,
He is a human - a word of kindness will cheer him,
If you must tell his faults - tell them to God,
That He may give him light and strength to correct them.
He has a great responsibility - Ask God to guide him in life,
and to be merciful to him in death.

Hi, Anthony. Thanks for following my blog. Yes, I read Father Check's blog as well.
Thank you for this post. We all need to remember and revere our priests, and also recall that we should seek to serve and minister to them as well. Thank you! Have a very Merry Christmas!
