• We are called to be witnesses to Jesus; if we are witnesses we are missionaries. To be witnesses we must learn to live with Christ who is always with us.

• Celebrating the Eucharist means celebrating who we are, always living our priestly identity, our ministry or service of making the Lord's Supper present. What greatness we possess! And what a responsibility! Are we astounded by this self-giving and this responsibility before Christ and the Church? At least we should be.
  • Letter from the Archbishop of Sucre to his priests: “The priestly vocation grows, develops, and remains faithful and fruitful, only in an intense relationship with Christ.” (16 June 2009) Fides News Agency
