00:00 / 03:18
The sisters have a special place in their motherly hearts for our Holy Father and all Bishops, priests, deacons, and seminarians. They strive by their prayers, words, and actions to lovingly support all those who hold Christ's place for them, uniting themselves to the spirit of St. Francis, who said that he would love and respect all priests because "in this world, I see nothing corporally of the Most High Son of God except His most holy Body and Blood, which they (priests) receive and they alone administer to others."

"The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus" - St John Vianney
“The world looks to the priest, because it looks to Jesus! No one can see Christ; but everyone sees the priest, and through him they wish to catch a glimpse of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur and dignity of the priest!”
– Pope St. John Paul II
