The nurturing of holy, healthy and humble priests requires prayers for vocations and the careful selection and training of candidates, the Congregation for Clergy has said.
Updating guidelines on preparing men for the Latin-Rite priesthood, the congregation released “The Gift of the Priestly Vocation”.
The document draws heavily on St John Paul II’s 1992 apostolic exhortation on priestly formation, as well as on the teaching of and norms issued by Benedict XVI and Pope Francis and by Vatican offices.
