“As I wrote in my letter to seminarians at the close of the Year for Priests, it is not only a question of learning obviously useful things but of knowing and understanding the structure of the faith in its totality — which is not a summary of theses but an organism, an organic vision — so that it becomes an answer to the questions of men, who change in externals from generation to generation but who remain fundamentally the same,” he said.
The Pontiff also emphasized that the study of theology must be connected with the life of prayer.
The current Pope says “The most important thing in the journey toward the priesthood and during the whole priestly life is a personal relationship with God in Jesus Christ.” This is truly refreshing.
Nothing about the MDGs?
