Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0879733195 | ISBN-13: 978-0879733193
Archbishop Dolan clearly sets forth what it takes to be a Catholic priest in the Third Millennium.

Whether he is stressing the necessity of regular Confession and the need to celebrate daily Mass and say the Liturgy of the Hours or discussing priestly celibacy in frank, realistic terms, he emphasizes true priest identity by presenting a life worth living, a life worth sharing, a life worth offering up to the Father through Christ and in the Holy Spirit.

Pastoral, practical, and thoroughly Catholic, Priests for the Third Millennium will renew the joy of being Catholic in the heart of seminarians, priests, and the people they serve.

This book is NOT just for priests or seminarians!

It is FOR LAYMEN.

An outstanding piece of literature on how we can live faithful Christian lives in the midst of a sinful world. In these pages Msgr. Dolan shares his rector's conferences from the North American Colleg in Rome where he helps to train men for the Catholic Priesthood.

Covering topics from Faith, Hope, and Love to Joy, Simplicity of Life, and Integrity, Msgr. Dolan shares his experiences of trying to live these virtues and ways of the Christian life in our times. His object in these pages is to show his seminarians how to live heroic Christian lives. This book is one of the best I have read--hard to put it down once you've picked it up.

An excellent devotional!

I highly recommend it.

This book is a collection of 24 spiritual conferences which Msgr Dolan as Rector gave the seminarians of the North American College, Rome. They cover almost every aspect of the life of the Catholic priest of this millennium, who has to respond to his call to holiness in the challenging circumstances of our society and culture. Each conference is very practical and pastoral in content, originating from Msgr. Dolan's rich and varied pastoral experience and deep understanding of priests and seminarians. The talks are interspersed with stories from his own life, quotes from writings of saints and popes along with profound spiritual insights. His depth of faith, scholarly wit and love for priesthood make the book easily readable and thoroughly enjoyable. Msgr. Dolan currently serves the Church as a bishop.

Whoever is concerned for the welfare of priests in this millennium would need to own and treasure this book. Indeed, it is a must-read for seminarians and priests who desire to live a faithful priestly life.

Catholicism at its Best! December 28, 2003
By Maab
Format:Hardcover
This book is amazing!!! Not only for current priests or those discerning or even entertaining the idea, but it's great for anyone! For the Catholic layman OR laywoman, it's an awesome collaboration of writings from Saints and Doctors of this Church, covering everything from Faith to why Confession Matters! This guy says nothin new, but he's put together all the stuff that we need to hear!! Even for a man or woman of another faith, this book definitely helps to refine any Christian, and can give anyone a good idea as to what the good Catholic should, if he already isnt, feelin'.
