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.
Ideal for readers interested in priestly life, liturgy, and Catholic spiritual formation.

Excerpt from The Mediator: Jesus Christ in the Scriptures, the Model of the Priest
The written word and the Incarnate Word of God exercise a fascination over the human mind and heart; In the first God manifests His fatherly love for His children on earth in human words; in the second He has permanently united His nature to our own and given us His only begotten Son as our Redeemer and spiritual Guide.
To the Apostles, who were privileged to live with the divine Savior, His words I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also, had a comprehensive meaning. N o doubt we all wish at times that we too were privileged to learn the spiritual life from this good Master Himself. Still, He has not left us orphans, for He abides with us in spirit and in truth in the Sacra ment of His love, and exercises His influence in our behalf both on earth and in heaven.
