"In 1992, three months before I was ordained a priest, Saint Pope John Paul II offered an Apostolic Exhortation concerning formation for the priesthood. He began that exhortation, 'Pastores dabo vobis,' by quoting and reflecting upon the words of Jeremiah. In his lengthy letter, the Sainted Holy Father reflected on the beauty and importance of the priesthood in the life of the Church. The primary purpose of the document was to propose a comprehensive renewal of priestly formation.
"The document is rich with biblical and theological insight and focuses from the start on the call to trust and faithfulness. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Richard G. Henning, bishop of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected the importance of priests and bishops trusting in God's Providence.
