You Need To Think How To Find Christ

Often, young priests or seminarians ask me: how
to become a good priest? What needs to be done for this? How to serve? How do sermons speak? I answer: you do not need to think about that. You need to think about how to find Christ. And then you will spiritually speak, act, look, and even smile spiritually.
If we say the right words, and the spirit in us is unkind, contradictory, we will pass on to our children not words, but our spirit. And vice versa. If we are kind, modest, patient, then the children will absorb this from us and take it over.
