Br. Linus Martz, O.P., on the Priesthood of the Newly Ordained

"The Dominican brothers ordained last weekend, even with the restrictions from COVID-19, will soon start wearing any number of hats. Vicars, pastors, preachers, students, missionaries, professors, administrators, campus-hopping Thomistic Institute coordinators: the list of possible ministries goes on, and of course the newly ordained never lose their identity as Dominican friars. But whatever else will demand their attention, they will also now be priests, called to offer sacrifice: 'One does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was' (Heb 5:4)."

In a recent commentary, Brother Linus Martz, O.P., reflected on meaning of the priesthood of the newly ordained.
