CHAPTER I. 4INTRODUCTION CHAPTER II. 11THEY ARE "THE LIGHT or THE WORLD" CHAPTER III. 41THEY ARE "THE SALT OP THE EARTH" CHAPTER IV. 48THEIR POWER OVER THE MYSTIC BODY OF CHRIST CHAPTER V. 66THE POWER OF THE PRIEST OVER CHRIST'S OWN BODY CHAPTER VI. 80THE CATHOLIC PRIEST THE FATHER AND FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE CHAPTER VII. 102OBLIGATIONS OF THE PEOPLE TO THE CATHOLIC PRIEST Excerpt: More than fifteen hundred years ago there hung in the Catacombs of Rome a lamp shaped in the form of a ship, at whose helm sat St. Peter, steering with one hand, and with the other giving his blessing. On one side of this miniature ship were engraved the words, "Peter dies not," and on the other the words of our dear Saviour: "I have prayed for thee." (Luke xxii. 32.) There could not be a more beautiful symbol of the papacy and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. This hierarchy is a lamp which illumines all darkness, and furnishes us with the brilliant light of truth; the Church is a ship which carries this light safely through the storms of ages to the ends of the earth, bringing with it blessings to the nations, and gathering into its apostolic net, as it sails along, the perishing children of men. And at the helm sits the poor fisherman of Galilee, the Pope, together with his assistants the Catholic bishops and priests directing the course of the vessel, now to this, now to that distressed country, now to this, now to that sorrowing people, to bring them not gold, not silver, but what is infinitely more precious Faith; and with faith, true civilization, based upon the unchangeable principles of supernatural morality, true prosperity, true happiness, and peace on earth and for eternity. One thousand eight hundred and forty-odd years ago, a poor, meanly-clad wanderer went to the Capital of the world the wealthy, magnificent city of Rome. He passes its gates, and threads his way unobserved through its populous streets. On every side he beholds splendid palaces raised at the expense of down-trodden nationalities; he beholds stately temples dedicated to as many false gods as nations were congregated in Rome; he beholds public baths and amphitheatres devoted to pleasure and to cruelty; he beholds statues, monuments, and triumphal arches raised to the memory of blood-thirsty tyrants. He passes warriors and senators, beggars and cripples, effeminate and dissolute women, gladiators and slaves, merchants and statesmen, orators and philosophers, all classes, all ranks, all conditions of men of every language and color under the sun. Everywhere he sees a maddening race for pleasure, everywhere the impress of luxury, everywhere the full growth of crime, side by side with indescribable suffering, diabolical cruelty and barbarity. And this poor, meanly-clad wanderer, was St. Peter. Oh! How the noble heart of the poor fisherman of Galilee must have bled when he observed the empire of Satan so supreme when he witnessed the shocking licentiousness of the temple and the homestead, when he saw the fearful degradation of woman groaning under the load of her own infamy, when he saw the heart-rending inhumanity which slew the innocent babes, and threw them into the Tiber, when he saw how prisoners of war, slaves, soldiers, were trained for bloody fights, and entered the arena of the amphitheatre and strove whole days to strangle one another, for the special entertainment of the Roman people. Here, then, was to be the scene of his labors: into this foul mass, into this carcass of a rotten society, St. Peter was come to infuse a new life, to lay the foundation of a new Rome...

Hans Urs von Balthasar's writings have pastoral implications that even now are barely recognised and hardly developed. Here a pastorally experienced theologian, who knew von Balthasar personally, unfolds this pastoral dimension for the first time. Integrating Christology and Ecclesiology with the profound spirituality that for von Balthasar is inseparable from authentic theology, Fr Power demonstrates the paradoxical grandeur and weakness of the Catholic priesthood. He highlights the roles of the Catholic priest as servant, bridegroom, shepherd, victim, teacher, prophet, celebrant and minister of reconciliation. At a time when many priests feel their identity called into question, this book offers new hope for the renewal of the priesthood in the Catholic Church.

Father Muller states: “The great roots of all the evils that press upon society, and make man unhappy, are THE IGNORANCE OF THE MIND, AND THE DEPRAVITY OF THE WILL. Hence he who wishes to civilize the world, and thus assist in executing the plans of God's providence, must remove these two great roots of evil by imparting to the mind infallibly the light of truth, and by laying down for the will authoritatively the unchangeable principles of morality. If the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has accomplished in society this twofold task, then has it rendered itself worthy of the praises of all men, and deserves to be called the greatest, the most astonishing, the most divine fact in the history of the world - then the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is truly the light of the world, and the salt of the earth."And he continues elsewhere: “IF it is the Popes, the bishops and priests who have drawn forth the civilized nations of the world from barbarism, it is also the Popes, the bishops and priests who keep them from falling back into their former degradation. It is for this reason that our Divine Saviour calls them also "the salt of the earth." Almighty God, Who incessantly ,vatches over the welfare of His Church, has, in every century, provided chosen vessels holy Popes, bishops and priests - to defend and uphold her holy doctrine. Against Arianism, God raised up an Athanasius and a Hilary of Poirtiers; to oppose the Nestorians, God sent St. Cyril. He sent St. Augustine to beat down the Pelagians; St. John Damascene, to fight the Iconoclasts. When the world became Christian, and Catholics grew rich, and forgot the poverty of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Franciscan monks were called to teach the love of Christian poverty to voluptuous Catholics.”Father Muller extols the powers of the Catholic priest: “Every priest can say, in some measure, with Jesus Christ who sent him: "All power is given to me in heaven and on earth." The influence of this power is felt in heaven, in giving the elect; it is felt in hell, in snatching from it victims; it is felt in purgatory, ill consoling efficaciously the Church Suffering. The influence of the priest's power is felt all over the world in sustaining the Church Militant.”Fathom this privilege of the priest: “GOD has given to the priest the keys ofheaven. He has given the priest power over the faithful, over His mystic body; but He has given the priest even a more extraordinary power ,-a power so stupendous, so unutterably great, that, had we not the grace of faith, we could never believe it. He has given to the priest power over His own Sacred Body, power over Himself!”

The Mass has been at the center of Catholic worship since the day of it's institution on that first Holy Thursday when Jesus Christ took bread, blessed and broke it, and took the cup filled with wine, gave them to his disciples saying: "Take and eat, this is my body...", "take and drink, this is my blood". Many people who attend this worship observe many ritual actions performed by the priest, and some prayers said both by the celebrant and the people, without knowing why they do and say them. "Some Elements of the Mass" is a brief explanation of these different ritual actions and prayers that make up the Roman Catholic Mass. It tells the reader the origin of some of these ritual actions and prayers, and why they are placed at their present positions within the structure of the Roman Catholic Mass. Both those coming in newly into the Catholic Church and 'cradle Catholics' have found "Some Elements of the Mass very enlightening and educative. Like Most Reverend Robert F. Vasa said in the foreword: "The booklet is written, not for scholars, but rather for the "common man" and as such provides a very good introduction to the Mass".
