Someone asked me recently what type of priests my generation needed:

  Transparent priest, authentic priest, non-professional priest, as things are and will be priest, a new style of informal accessible priest, as is vulnerable priest, personally relational priest, living their spiritualities out loud priest, as you go expressive process oriented priest, face time Facebook and face to face priest, sermon not quiet there priest, overheard spiritualities priest, not waiting til your done to share your homily priest, as you are leaning towards what you will be priest, being themselves as they go priest…..is how I started my answer. I’ll finish it later, i promise!

 High priest, low priest, clearing out the snow priest, bird priest, cat priest, priest who wear cool hats priest, storm priest, calm priest, taking out the trash, walking the dog priest, city priest, rural priest dreaming of the city of God priest, writing priest, silent priest those somewhere in the middle priest, bald priest, long haired priest, tall priest, short priest, priest who bring the Light to dark places, priest who bring those in the dark to light places, priest who see another city settling down above us, priest who only see their corner of the street and are meant to make it shine and rustle us awake and keep us all in line, priest who call forth wonder, priest who call forth tears, priest who teach us how to leap above our fears, priest who dream, priest who stream, priest who scheme of how to make things better….the list is surely endless in the One who holds the priestly key, making us conformed holy into Thee. The High Priest of all Life forming us again, making us each, little priest in Him!
